Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month

-


 

May is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome awareness month. As someone who has this, and can see that this condition is something that no one really knows much about, I think it's pretty important to spread awareness. I could probably talk about this condition and all that it entails for hours, so I'm going to share 30 photos I have found that shows a little bit about the condition and living life with it. 


  • A letter for anyone who has a loved one with dysautonomia, which EDS is under the umbrella of:



  • EDS affects many areas of the body:









  • We've got fun party tricks that freak people out😂




  • This condition can be painful.









  • This is what EDS can look like:













  • When you know more about the condition that most anyone else, including your doctors:




  • Things people with EDS, or really any other chronic/invisible illness do not want to hear.







  • Living with EDS

Dysautonomia Awareness Month

Hello all! This month is dysautonomia awareness month! Now this is probably where you're saying dys-auto-what? This can get really complicated so I'm going to try to put it as simply as possible.  Dysautonomia is an umbrella term that refers to conditions which cause dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. I personally have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or POTS*. There are many other conditions that are under this umbrella, but I am going to keep the focus on my personal conditions.  *My POTS was caused by a genetic condition I have called ehlers-danlos syndrome, which affects your connective tissues.  So now you know what the word means, but now there is the question: What is the autonomic nervous system? The autonomic nervous system refers to all the body's involuntary functions, or the functions you don't consciously control. This means things like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, vasoconstriction/dilation, pupillary response, sweating and more...

10 Common Makeup Mistakes

Using an HD setting powder / a setting powder with flashback to an event/occasion using flash photography You have to be careful with setting powders when you are going to be taking pictures. If you watch beauty YouTubers, you may remember James Charles’ “Flashback Mary” situation as he likes to call it. There are a lot of setting powders that will cause flashback when taking photos with flash, or in other words, creating a white cast in the picture.  Now here are a few ways that you can try to prevent this from happening. Stay away from HD setting powders when you know that you are going to be getting photos taken. Always look at reviews before buying the powder, learn from other's experiences! Give it a test run beforehand - especially if it is for your wedding or something important as that. In the test run, do the makeup how you plan to the day of the event, then take photos with both flash and non flash in all different types of lighting so you can get the best idea on how not...

https://www.warnerbros.com/movies/harry-potter-complete-8-film-collection/ The Light by Everlaih  Hermione G, Sirius B, Remus L. Complete. Rated: T “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of places, if one remembers to turn on a light.” During the final battle, Hermione gets sent back in time to the marauders time at Hogwarts to save her life. Now that she is there, she makes a life with them. She Didn’t Need to Be Saved by NineAnd3Quarters  (Fred + Hermione) Complete. Rated: T. "She didn't need to be saved. She needed to be found and appreciated, for exactly who she was." J.I.W I watched Hermione as she sat in the corner pretending to read a book. I say that because she spent most of her time behind that particular book examining page 214. For the past month she had been 'reading' that book and hadn't turned the page once. Fred and Hermione Story The Way Home by Miss Grace O’Malley  (Hermione + Sirius), Remus L, Fabian P. Com...

Starving to Kill

Welcome back to my blog! Put on your seatbelts and hold onto your seats because this story is a wild ride. Today I am going to talk about a case that I have just recently learned about, but knew I had to share because it is so crazy. It is around the same time period as the Lizzie Borden case that I talked about in my last post. (If you haven't read it, check it out here !) It also has to do with murder, but it’s not as simple as you would think. In the Lizzie Borden case, whereas it remains unsolved, is fairly black and white. Andrew and Abby were stabbed to death with a hatchet. These murders were disguised as medicine. Linda Burfield Hazzard was born December 18, 1867 in Minnesota. By the time she was 18 she was already married and had two children. She did not stay with her family however. In 1898 she decided to leave her husband and children to go to Minneapolis and married Samuel Hazzard. They somehow ended up in Olalla, Washington.  She wanted to pursue a career in alternati...

My Mom LIVED at a Haunted School

  It is the beginning of Spooky season! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for cooler weather, changing leaves, and watching Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown on repeat. To kick off Halloween season 2021 I’ve got a fun story for all of you! Whereas folklore and urban legends are always fun, my favorite stories are the ones where there is a personal connection. So you already know from reading the title, this is the story of my mom living at a haunted school when she was a kid. Now I do have to admit, the things that were attributed to the hauntings happened mostly in the years after she lived there, but not all. Even if she doesn’t have her own personal paranormal experiences there, I still think that this is a really interesting story.  Miller Hall In Albion, Idaho, there was a school that had a couple of different names and types of education over the years: Albion Normal School, or as it was named when my mother lived there, Magic Valley Christian College. You may recogn...
