Vlogging about my life with EDS as a parent as well as documenting the process of writing a book on how to live a fuller life with EDS. It's gonna be part memoir, part self-help book
The one shift in thinking that changed how I parent with EDS
EDS Vlog 20- Parenting is never easy, but when you're managing Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS), it can feel like an uphill battle. As a parent with EDS, trying your best but feeling like it's never enough. Feeling like you are never enough. Throw into the mix a child who also has EDS, and the challenges multiply. It's a journey fraught with uncertainty, but amidst the struggles, there are valuable lessons to be learned and shared.
My own journey with EDS parenting began with my ten-year-old son, who, like me, was diagnosed with hEDS. Despite being relatively asymptomatic at the moment, occasional bouts of unexplained pain remind me of the uncertainties that lie ahead. Seeing echoes of myself...

Are the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders Rare? #rarediseaseday
Просмотров 788 месяцев назад
On Rare Disease Day 2024, I ask 'Is EDS rare? As with most things concerning EDS, the answer isn't straightforward. The more accurate question is probably how rare are the specific types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes? There are 13 subtypes of EDS and they all have differing degrees of rarity. The overall prevalence of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) is cited as 1 in 5000 based on a publication by Py...

😊❤
You make no sense.
Thank you for so much for sharing your story! I was just diagnosed with hEDS in April this year, and I am struggling with trying to slow down. I am stubborn because I want to " go, go, go" then I'm just chasing the pain instead of controlling it. I keep dislocating my biceps tendon and gh joint, so I am in physio with isometric exercises. It seems to be helping a bit, but it hasn't yet prevent me from dislocating anything in my shoulder. I need to look into neural science research.
Oh yea, im in pain 24/7. And i just find ways to distract myself from it subconsciously now

Through A pacing??? 😂
Hey Scott! I spent years mad that my body wouldn’t do the things other people my age could do. Before we knew I had EDS I would cry and ask why it took so much work just to exist. I still ask it… in frustration. I try to use it as a reminder to slow down. Are kids are all grown but I would have loved to have your advice back in the day! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Amanda, that prompts an interesting question- what advice would you give your younger (before EDS self)?
@@ScottTorrance I think I would tell myself that I don’t have to prove to anyone that I am strong. And to be kinder to my body as well as my mind.
@@nanerlea Brilliant! The question is would your younger self have listened?
@@ScottTorrance not really. 🥴 I am so hardheaded when it comes to doing things by myself and proving to everyone else that I am a strong person. My kids listen to me though. I am saving them tons of heartache and pain.
I really needed to hear this! I am getting slapped by EDS about every other day. Thanks for this video!
Thanks Amanda, it isn't easy but you just have to take it one day at time ❤
Yes, to all this. It takes neuromuscular reeducation. It takes a team. It is ever evolving and changing. Complicating things can be that EDS affects the nerves themselves. There can be poor interoception and poor biofeedback regardless of an individual’s determination or effort. I wish us all the best as we build our personal adaptation kits and contribute to the larger body of information on EDS. Take care and thanks for the vid.
Yeah it is an interesting journey to be on, lots to learn
Good Idea 👍
It's all about fitting it in to my day and not adding any extra stress
this is encouraging - not only have you achieved a physical feat, you will have conquered a confidence to travel milestone as well - congratulations! 🙂
Thanks very much. Yes it was a very positive experience all round!
this is so inspiring - please keep sharing your movement journey! 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks 😃
Oh my goodness Scott I feel like this is a huge huge topic for me personally one that I grapple with daily. I’d love to chat with you on this topic I’ve too many thoughts to include in this post. I will say it seems we are in the same place along our journey of living with EDS.
I've dropped you a DM on Instagram and we can try and get a call in the diary 👍
Yes interdisciplinary is absolutely crucial, and yes they all agree it’s important and also you’re exactly correct it appears many providers don’t have the skill set to support success with interdisciplinary work. Leaving us stuck to manage & coordinate in the midst of experiencing the effects of multiple comorbidities simultaneously.
Yeah it is a full.time job trying to get the adults to talk nicely to each other!
Thank you for sharing your experience parenting with EDS. We need So much more of this. My kids are now 10 and 8, so the struggle looks different now than it did when they were small at it was more physical. I think I spent 5 years in permanent spasms to keep my shoulders from falling out. The pain was unreal and now I’m learning how to undo the damage while trying to parent at the same time. Very difficult
Yeah it really is brutal! My kids are similar ages to yours and wow what a difference it makes. Still challenging but so much more manageable.
Ha I’m subscribed and would love to take part in this idea 🎉
Haha fantastic, you're in. Drop me an email to scottorrance@gmail.com
EDS diagnosis made sense but i cant stop searching for ways to manage fatigue, the pain and how i can continue to live with this invisible condition. I seem to gaslight myself because i look well. The reality is i feel like I am trapped in a nightmare that i have to endure everyday.
Oh I feel you, it is not easy. You will go through periods where the searching for answers is what you need and is the right thing but it can also catch you in spiralling loop.
Happy to do questionaire. A great idea. My experience, sadly, is not so positive but will continue to strive forward and learn to manage
Fantastic, and there is no need to feel you have to put a positive spin on things. Sometimes it is just rubbish and we have to sit with that. It's the reality of life with EDS, I've been there!

Thanks for sharing Scott. Good to get an understanding of EDS and its impact. That’s an almighty battle you have had to fight. Glad you are now able to cope with dad taxi duties, they can be a struggle even when you think you have it altogether!
Thanks mate, yeah it has been a struggle but the future is looking brighter!
Great to hear you thoughts on this pal 👏🏻. I can relate to this to some degree in terms of hypermobility syndrome, but also very much so in terms of dealing with anxiety disorder - the idea of accepting when you AREN'T ready to apply/faciliate positive changes and not beating yourself up about it has been a game changer. Looking forward to more vlogs! ❤

As much as this is focused on EDS I think there's so much for anyone to take from this concept of challenging how our own narratives and what ways we can start to nudge ourselves towards better thought processes that fit with the reality of a busy life.
Yeah it is something I toy around with. There are undoubtedly lessons to be learned from the extremes of a chronically ill life that apply to a regular life. Sometimes it is only going to the extreme and when the stakes are higher that it forces you to think about these things and make the changes.
Hey Scott 👋🏻 Great to get an insight into your day!
Cheers mate 😀
