After dealing with a cacophony of symptoms for 4 years. I’m at my lowest today. I’m posting today to start my journey to health and betterment. There were moments today I felt like giving up. I’m going to be as honest and sincere as I possibly can. I hope this reaches people who are silent sufferers like me.

Current physical stats

Height: 5’10

Age: 30

Weight: 200 lbs

Star sign: Virgo

Physical symptoms and background:

Always was hypermobile since I was little. Sister had a heart murmur and was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos young. The physical symptoms, other than fatigue never really affected me. Now the joint pains and subluxations are a daily pain. I wake up in excruciating pain some days and have to deal with horrible upper back pain. I bruise extremely easily.

I’ve also been diagnosed with ADHD and depression. I deal with brain fog constantly and there are days where I can’t even form sentences properly. I just exist. I also deal with a lot of headaches. I struggle to concentrate on studying and even surviving.

I feel like I’m allergic to being alive at this point.

Many foods cause my airway to close up and my throat to become irritated. Showering makes me itchy. I have dermatographia (I can write on my skin and it raises up) I’ll post a video of this. This points to histamine intolerance or the more insidious Mast cell activation syndrome. If I am stressed or emotional my symptoms worsen for days. I am constantly extremely tired. I have lost half my hair. My vision can become blurrier at times. I struggle with GERD and have to sit up at an angle to sleep. Sinus infections are also a constant in my life. If I have antibiotics my symptoms worsen. I deal with bloating constantly and also with constipation and diarrhea. My skin has also lost all its luster and I deal with breakouts I never have had before. I deal with heart palpitations and extreme anxiety. If my GERD is really bad there are days I feel like I’m going to die.

All of my symptoms have worsened from catching Covid in November 3 years ago. If my symptoms were 1/10 now they are 7/10. I have flares and remittance of symptoms. It’s truly a struggle to live at this point.
