    John Hudson is diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa, leaving him in a body covered in open wounds since he was an infant. He has advocated for a cure for this horrible condition since his youth, hoping that children in the future will never know the same pain that has left him bedridden. John and his advocacy were a contributing factor to the first ever FDA approved treatment for EB that was released to the public recently. This new development has given John hope that his efforts have been worthwhile and that a cure is still possible.

    Researchers believe a cure for EB is possible by 2030 and you can help at give.ebresearch.org/johnhudson_sbsk . This is a fundraiser for the EB Research Partnership in John Hudson’s name. If everyone who wants to help John contributes just a bit, it will go a long way in helping to find a cure. Thank you for helping John and the many others who are impacted by EB.

      Good god. Some of these comments are so corney. It's not that someone said it. It's that some 50 year old grown adult thinks it's not crazy to be posting on mentally ill digital forums. When Facebook first came out it was just kids. Still not healthy but an excuse was that it was just dumb kids. Then all the boomera get jealous and start joining, ruining there party. Then it just proved our society is dooned.
      Maybe just post how you feel. Seriosuly. Who is the target audience of this post? You say "bigger man than any of us", so your target audience is men? But your comment is something an adult would say trying to impress a child. So which is it?
      I'm sure John would appreciate my thoughtfulness. He's obviously a deep thinker, and has some criticisms about modern society implied by his impression with Japan over the west.
      I can imagine some commenter gasping reading this, like "omg, the gravity of the situation". Yes we know. You're not treating him with respect if you think my criticism of this childish comment hurts his feelings. I'm criticizing our dumb culture. Not him.

      @celestialknight2339 3 месяца назад +213

      @@godsstrongestschizo I think the original comment has a point, though. We should be more grateful for what we have, and remember those who are less fortunate than us rather than looking up to those more fortunate than us. It helps put life in better perspective, and calibrates your level of gratitude and satisfaction. So while this doesn’t mean we should shut down any urge to complain or feel frustrated (which are perfectly normal human emotions), we should indeed realize that we are in a better position than millions (if not most) of the world’s population. Even the ability to hear, see, and feel, are tremendous blessings from the Creator.
      Remember: the happiest people are not those who have more - but those who need less.
      Peace.

I have a minor inconvenience or a headache and become irritable. He’s such an amazing person and I’m so hopeful about his future.

      I've also felt really, really hopeless from depression - and I still have depression. But thanks to medicine it's been so... faded? My dad helped advocate for me to try a different antidepressant that his doctor friend had talked about was relatively new still but works especially to help against low energy levels (which was a huge problem for me), and gradually it is really getting better. I take Sertraline (Zoloft) and Bupropion (Voxra). I hope so, so deeply that you can also get relief like this. You are doing so so well, having lived this far, and I'm really proud of you for how you've been holding on. Best of luck to you 🫶

    My Mom was dying of ALS and she saw a woman on the Oprah show who had been burned over her entire body. My mom looked at me and said there's always someone else worse off. I have MS and had a bad day then I saw this young man. I thought two things. The first, I thought if he can continue living with love and gratitude I have no right to not see my journey completed the same way. The second I pleaded with the "powers" that be to expedite a cure. A true cure. I wish so much I could take this from him to let him feel the ocean, hike a trail, run free from pain and fall in love. I beg all there is to allow him to be freed. ❤

    Reading through the comments, I want you all to know that just because you don't have it as bad as John Hudson, doesn't mean your pain is invalid. We all have our struggles and they are just as real and impactful as they feel to you. The human body and brain are amazing at adapting, and some of us go through unthinkable traumas. But you don't need to be one of those people to justify your emotions, your feelings, your pain, your stress. The thought that "I can't complain because others have it worse" is incredibly self-deprecating and doesn't appreciate you for who you are as a person. Love yourself and those around you! Ask for help when you need it. The only person you should compare yourself to is your past self, because we always want to be learning and growing. Abandon toxic ideas like "I'm not worth it" or "I don't have the right to speak". We can appreciate and share love for ourselves at the same time as we share it for John. We can acknowledge that he has it worse, but also acknowledge that we ourselves may need help or relief. These concepts can exist together!

I don't believe growing old is a prerequisite for that though. I do believe that people come into our lives that are ill to help teach the true nature of love. Without intention he's doing that. Not only to be loved, but to love. We have to show that love to ourselves as well. God bless this incredible, brave young man. I wish him and his family the very best. He one day like the rest of us will cross over and leave his ailing body behind. His soul will go on unhindered and into the arms of total love. All is not lost.

Iv have close to a dozen surgeries on them with no luck. I can’t imagine how much pain John is in because it’s only my feet which the pain radiates up my legs. I am not diabetic so I feel everything. Drs havnt seen this before and I feel helpless. I have a good family but one of my best supporters, my father, has lost hope in me and now I’m lost.
