Yes I Am Sick

I have two autoimmune connective tissue diseases: undifferentiated connective tissue disease and Sjogren's. I have a genetic connective tissue problem that is similar to Ehlors-Danlos, but it's not so clear cut. Let's say there's a continuum of people who are genetically predisposed to overly soft connective tissue. At one end are the healthy people and at the other end are those with full-blown EDS. I fall towards the unhealthy end, though I fall short of the clinical definition of EDS, though sometimes you may hear me refer to it as having an extremely mild case of EDS, which is what I think is actually going on. I also have fibromyalgia. In addition, I have many conditions that are secondary to my illnesse. This blog is about being sick but being alive and surviving. You can also view my other blogs by clicking on my profile. I keep a blog for different topics.
