Hey! I just made this account a few days ago and here is a proper introduction! :)
My name is Lucy Yyvan, I am 18 years old and I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome type Hypermobile and Classic by a wonderful doctor here in the Ocala area of Florida named Dr. Bookbinder when I was 13. A year later, he also diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and suspected, and later proved, Tachycardia. Ever since, I have had a lifetime of experiences most people only experience in their old age or after physical traumas, but I still wouldn't trade or wish this upon anyone else.
I am Buddhist, practicing for two years now, and believe everything happens in a lifetime for a reason. This is my task before I am done here on Earth, so I will take it and try my hardest to do the right things and make the right decisions and help my body in natural ways. I don't personally take pain-killers or anything really like that. I try to keep my treatments to non-drug related herbs, vitamins, and minerals. I am Straightedge, a punk-hardcore group that abstains from drugs and alcohol of any kind. I try to handle my illnesses in a physical and mental treatment kind-of-way, but I am very open to any of your suggestions!
I am very honest, and do have some tips and tricks of my own. You are now my family, if you chose to be. Send me a friend request if you'd like, and respond to this post if you'd like to be part of the family :)
~Gentle hugs, Much love. Lucy.
I think I qualify as part of the family, lol. I am proud of you for wanting to create a place where Ehlers~Danlos peeps can share information and help each other solve issues related to the condition. ♥
