Big thank you to Julia for coming to share her story with the HiHo Kids!
To learn more about mitochondrial disease visit www.mitoaction.org/mito-faq
I would love for the kids to meet someone with an invisible chronic disease like moderate/severe Crohns disease. I'm in my 30's and look perfectly healthy but am very sick on the inside. Treatment for Crohn's Disease suppresses immune system so if a cashier or anyone at the grocery store has a cold or anything worse, I will get it and it will make me very sick and take me twice as long to recover. A flu puts me in hospital. It's extremely hard when I look perfectly healthy but I'm very sick, some people, friends and even family dont believe me because they cant see it.
Please pin a comment (such as mine) clarifying that the girl in the camo jacket was vaccinated and directing viewers to read the captions. Thank you.
Q B I understand! Got my Dx for Crohn’s just before I turned 16, 30 years ago. People, including family has complained I was faking being sick the day after I came home from hospital! You wouldn’t know I was ill unless I was in the middle of a flare and was stuck out! In the last 15 years other illnesses have popped up. I thought I hurt then! 💔
@@merangel3988 yep, I make the half joke that once you get one auto-immune disease, 'you gotta catch'em all". 😅😥
Meet a person that stutters
"You have a nice face" coming from a kid is the ultimate compliment
True, and she is really pretty though.
@@Yeemoeder she is 😌
@@sarahcgkk a kid once said 'are you wearing makeup?' because my cheeks were red. It was because I get red when I exercise, but thanks, I guess.
I knew Im not pretty at all when i heard "I don't like you " from a kid who saw me for the first time. Later I was devastated.
i was wondering why she was sooo pretty
I'm not saying this out of sympathy, I genuinely think this,
she is _very_ pretty.
Winter Pheonix she is!!
Honestly she is an amazing person and is beautiful!
She's honestly very beautiful
She is
That right she is very pretty
It broke my heart when she said “I’m aware I will die before my parents”. 😭😭
😭😭😭😭😭
That was really heavy. I can't imagine what her parents are going through.
yeah I was be so scared,I'm crying poor thing
Yes.
I'm sorry for her parents..
okay but she's like... REALLY pretty.
She looks like my art teacher
Alex Thomas i don't think anyone asked at all
@@orsemcore right back at u
JDestroy i asked
Yeah.
The fact that she wanted to be a mom but, couldn’t pass the disease on..it just breaks my heart.
Yeah, I have one of the disorders that she listed (EDS). It’s really sad to learn that you won’t ever be able to have kids, especially when you’re only 13 years old, in my case :(
I’m so sorry :(
@@victoriaryle5321 im so sorry about that..
Victoria Ryle I’m so sorry sweetheart ❤️
Victoria Ryle honey i have eds too and depending on which subtype you have, you can have kids, there are just some more precautions ❤️

"the assumption a lot of doctors will make is that anxiety is the cause of everything"
FACTS
Unfortunately, Drs. Are lazy and want the easiest explanation. I have dysautonomia and was misdiagnosed for many years, so what could have been easily treated has disabled me.
@@michele5695 oh no, sorry 🙏🏽 ❤️❤️
Emma Wolfe those are facts it’s sad that doctors deal with having to tell people their gonna die everyday this girl deserves a sit down with Ellen also Emma ur pretty just like this girl saying that out of my Heart for u and for her please don’t take life for granted be thankful
true but before i got diagnosed with anxiety they tried to tell me i had diseases that caused my anxiety symptoms so it was the opposite for me
People can get too anxious it’s up to the point they feel sick or they end up getting sick. The brain controls the whole body.
Doctor: "You probably have anxiety"
Patient: * is literally unable to walk or breathe without an oxygen tank*
I had a doctor tell me my asthma and mild ruptured esophagus was anxiety. I was coughing up blood. So yeah that's pretty accurate lol
I had a dr that had to rule out anxiety for my GI conditions. Yes anxiety exacerbates them, as anxiety does this for a lot of things besides GI issues, but it's not the root cause of them just because they're milder when I'm not extremely anxious. Like I have mild GAD and my counselor didn't feel it was necessary to send me to a psychiatrist for medications as I can control most of it by talking through it and explaining I can't do xyz at the moment because of it. Sometimes I can do it 30 minutes later, sometimes it's 30 days later.
@@chesterhurley8289 you a rupture esphagus and coughing up blood and the docyor didn't do anything?
Or if you have a diagnosed disability that affects your whole body any complaint you have is sometime automatically attributed to that one diagnosis. But like with Julia, you can most definitely have more than one diagnosis, even if they’re somewhat connected.

The fact that the little girl can girl can admit she stares at people when there different is amazing at that age she is so sweet
2:54 & 7:03 ~so cute:(~
And the fact that she hesitated saying that, knowing it’s unkind, makes it even better.
@@TolumniaMC and then decided to be truthful and honest eventually..
Mochi _26 *they’re
I don't think staring is unkind. I have lots of big scars on my arms and I let people have a look if they want. They can't help it anyways, it's human nature to want to take a closer look at unusual sights and I don't think trying to suppress that helps anybody. I even feel some people are more comfortable around me after they got the chance to give in to the urge.
Julia sadly passed away this past weekend. Rest In Peace, Julia💜
where does this news come from?
@@Reproductions93 Mutual friends.
And I apologize I heard it was in December when I responded too many people that's what somebody told me and I'm sorry to say that I was wrong but I feel very badly for her parents in my heart truly goes out to them and I know Julia is in heaven no longer in pain or sickness
This girl in the video
She didn't make it to 24, did she?
“it would be not fair to those kids”
me: starts crying
She's right. But it's still very sad.
Those kids are so respectful. I feel like every child is innocent. They start judging and doing things they shouldn’t because of their parents and their education.
Or the group of kids they hang around
Cookie Monster yh but those kids are “bad” because of *their* parents education. No one is born a bad person

I don’t know if anyone ever kept up with her, but she passed away not too long ago. Like a couple weeks ago or maybe even shorter. She did some pretty cool things before she passed away. Rest In Peace sweetheart.
Edit: she died in December actually. I just had heard about it recently so I assumed it was recent
do u know her instagram?
Incorrect she didn’t die in Dec, she died in April.

Anyone with physical or mental illnesses has to make dark jokes to cope it's a cruel and sad world
It's unfortunate to think about, but we live life to the fullest the best we can!
With Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a lot of the conditions are common comorbidities. So POTS and MCAS are pretty much an almost everyone with EDS gets as well.

Imagine having so much diseases that you can't even remember all of them
stan wekimeki I have EDS, POTS and mass activation and some others. Yeh I don’t remember them but i think it’s mostly bc I try not to think about it. Like sure I gotta a tube in my chest and stomach but I don’t really want to let it affect me
I have a lot but I just wanna got block it out
Amanda Newman Exactly, I have EDS too and most of us have a handful of comorbid conditions. I have suspected POTS, adrenal insufficiency, IBS, vocal chord dysfunction, PCOS... that’s all stemming from EDS! It really sucks.
Tbh it gets confusing when doctors start contradicting each other. Like she mentioned, a lot see anxiety as the #1 excuse.
@@heidibullock1853 Why are they thinking at the start that it's "just" anxiety anyway? What are the early symptoms besides I assume, feeling weakness (which can be a lot of things anyway, not just emotional stuff)? Anyway, that's very lazy of the doctors to assume anxiety. Anxiety is a serious issue and needs treatment/environmental changes, etc. but such assumptions by doctors even today are used as an excuse to do nothing medically about it because the doctors aren't sure. If they can't find a cause they need to dig deeper for rarer diseases 1st and then treat the anxiety if that's what it truly is.
Swimming, shopping, capabilities...she lost her way of life at 15. I just turned 15 and I share so many interests with her - I can’t even imagine what that would be like :((
lil girl: "I've never been to the doctor"
Me: *is her mom anti vax???*

Julie: " yes"
Disabled people don't want your pity or to be inspiration porn. We're just people.
As someone with a genetic heart condition, it really resonated with me when she said "It would not be fair to those kids." I only have one major disease and it is nowhere near as traumatic or life-altering as everything she has gone through, but I still stay awake at night thinking about if I would be able to live with myself if any future children I have went through all the testing, doctor's visits, and life-altering adaptations that I went through. She is so strong and amazing to smile because I know that somedays make it incredibly difficult.
Lets tweet about her so that she can meet ellen
Tweet with #hihoellen
Just dm'ed this to Ellen but she'll probably never see this
Omg yess

She's a sweetheart. Who the hell picked the music though?? Lord
it’s the same as all their videos
Julia has passed away over the past few years. It is SO sad, but at least one of her bucket list things came true, she met Elle. May she rest in peace
I just realized that her voice is raspy because it's probably dry cuz she can't swallow or drink anything
also probably cuz her lungs are failing
@@Heedy770 yeah
Bro it’s because her lungs collApsed
@@laceyharless5203 Ikkk I'm no doctor but it really sounds like her throat is dry cause there is no kind of liquid
emma ward yeah its probably a mix of everything ya know
"The assumption a lot of doctors will make is that anxiety is the cause of everything." GOD isn't this the truth.
Rachel Johnson I know. I have a lot of allergies and the doctor said it was just anxiety. Three years later and in the hospital that doctor should be fired.
IKR like I was saying that my knees are weak and bend backward all the time because she. They bend forward I fall and he was like probably anxiety (this was a substitute my real doc was on vacay) and I was like bish how
People told me my stomach problems were anxiety for years. It’s true, I’m a very anxious person. But that wasn’t anxiety, that was microscopic colitis. Not serious, but still would have rather people look into my symptoms to help me alleviate them instead of being told to take deep breaths
Especially when you're a woman.
"hysteria"
we need to get her on ellen
I actually just saw a video where she has met Ellen.

Yes. Though she's terminal, while Shane isn't.
As someone with a chronic illness this really is sad I'll pray for this girl and hope thry find a cure for this illness...
I can't imagine the psychological trauma of suddenly becoming ill, losing the lifestyle you had before and having to deal with the fact that you will pass away far too early. I hope she finds light and happiness in her day to day life anyway.
I was born with my condition/ chronic illnesses so I feel for her going through the loss of her quality of life. But I have an idea of what she is going through.
Lol my life
@@gwinea3476 stay strong 💞
It is very hard, there is a grieving process the same as losing a loved one. My body started seriously giving up in my early mid 20s and i was forced to stop doing the things i loved. Im lucky in that I never wanted kids because i now will never get the chance. I suffer with similar issues as this person but not as severe and its unlikely to shorten my life, but its a life of constant pain and fatigue that never goes away, and the more i try to do, every day things people take for granted (going shopping, cleaning, even taking a shower), makes it all worse.
@@FaenumVena you sound like me. It's definitely a grieving process. It's good that she's able to get counseling. I probably should look into it too. It's crazy the little things you miss being able to do - like you said showering. I miss being able to clean, too. So freaking difficult to see a mess and have to leave it be because I just don't have the energy for it. I've definitely cried over all the things that I've lost, still have more to go I'm sure.
Girl: I've never seen a doctor
Me: Oh no, she's unvaccinated-
Girl: Only for shots
*Rush of relief*
I thought the same thing😭
Dude I thought she said “not even for shots” and then I felt like an awkward silence lol
And that's why she's never seen a doctor 😉
@@gabriela-yl8bx good one
She would use essential oils duhhh
This girl is so sweet. Despite these difficulties and disabilities, she's living with, she's as positive as a human being can ever be. Much love and respect to her and her family
When the little girl said “you have a nice face i laughed” innocence is so pure
“This is my meal”
Kid: ‘looks like breast milk’
Had me dying 😂😂😂
Prob kinda simular to it. Has for sure a lot of proteins in it.
Not even just normal milk, breast milk
I havent even gotten to that part and i was already laughing at the comment
The music really doesn't fit the video
Don't ruin it. The girl will see this video. I think she doesn't want another sad think on her memories to paradise
Elissavet Argiriou that doesn’t mean it fits bc the vibe was different and the music was way more happy and carefree than the message sent
Bro i thought the same thing... If anything i think its a bit disrespectful but idk
Lord God what strength she must have had. RIP young lady.
You can ask me anything
Me: "Okay what's the name of your chair"
I feel like knowing you’re going to die and just waiting for death and trying to live life to the fullest before it happens is one of the worst feelings and psychological horrors ever
Ikr? If I had a terminal illness I would rather not have anyone tell me. Just let me die when I die.
Been Thinking that’s my biggest fear I rather die without knowing
I agree. Although I've heard some people say that it's freeing and I can see why. If I knew I had only a few years to live I'd stop working and look for a way to spend those days not worrying about anything but what's on my bucket list. But that would not be me, I wouldn't find it freeing since I fear being unable to move, being unable to remember my past, stuff like that. I cherish my freedom and my memories. I'd rather be able to think I'll have a nice long life (even if it'll likely not be as long as I'd like it) and never worry about what comes after.
What's funny is that that's life for 100% of humanity. We think only terminally ill people have to deal with that, which probably makes it even worse for them. We're ALL going to die. You might die before they do.
IKR I have that feeling everyday why thought if u was her I would need that therapy to svrvive poor girl
The first 30 seconds I almost cried, she is going to die young and there's nothing to do to prolong her life...
Like they said. Medical scientists are working on a cure so it's possible there will be a cure in the future.
Antoine Louis King I know😭and then the little kids are sAad about it
It made me sad too, except that there is a lot that we can do to prolong her life that has already been done. If it weren't for the oxygen and TPN she would already be dead, and if it weren't for the central line she couldn't get the TPN, and if it weren't for the NG tube and wheelchair she would have a much lower quality of life. I agree that there is more room to grow and would love to cure some of those conditions, but we need to also focus on making sure that the treatments we do have are being made available to all the people that need them (which it currently isn't).
@@LeonidasSthlm the important thing to remember tho is that every disease has scientists behind it trying to work on it. Mito is at the bottom of the list thought because it is so rare. Conditions like cancer and Alzheimers get more funding and attention because they are much more common. It's very possible for all diseases cures won't come for a very long time. The only reason I say all this is so people see that these foundations need donations and awareness, and people don't think a cure is just around the corner.
I personally have Ehlers Danlose Syndrome and POTS and it’s so easy to wonder why my life is so difficult but it’s humbling to remember I don’t have it like others. I once met a woman with multiple types of EDS and she had the same feeding system but her favourite hobby was cooking. It’s crazy to think that the people around us can live in the same situation yet so differently at the same time. It’s amazing to see how brave she is about it!
As someone with chronic illnesses as well, I love to see this representation. I have so much more freedom than this girl, but there’s something about seeing someone else going through what I do. The mom comment hit hard, I’m afraid of having kids because I don’t want to pass on my illnesses either, even though they’re treatable and thankfully the life expectancy is much, much higher. It’s terrifying to think I could pass on some of the worst periods of my life onto my children. I couldn’t wish it on anyone, let alone a child.
We need to get Ellen’s attention so she can have this sweet girl on her show...
YES.
Yes. Love a bit of exploiting dying weans for views

@@lyy4227 You say not funny, but I have mitochondrial disease just like the teen in the video and think this is hilarious. Able-bodied people are so careful about everything. But if you've ever met someone who have chronic illness, you soon learn that we can have a pretty dark sense of humor. Lol. Yeah, I'll probably die before the age of 25, but that's just how it works for us. my other friends who have mito and I make jokes about dying all the time. Laughing about it makes us feel better about our fates. It normalizes it.

She might not start a family
She might not be “Normal”
She might not go to prom
She might not get cured
But she will and did put a smile on everyone’s face💞
❤
She’s 19 so I think prom is out of the question now
I feel SO much for this poor sweetheart. That's SO tough to go through! I wouldn't wish this on anyone!
That brought me to tears. My heart goes out to her.
“That’d be... not fair to those kids” it’s so sad that people with genetic problems think like that most of the time 😔 I really hope some day someone finds the cure for her condition... this video was so touching.
Theres a robotic brace that moves you if you are disabled but it is over 100,000 dollars. Which sucks becuase we disableds have to pay so Much money just to be human
I also do have a genetic problem for my leg uhm it’s called valgus but on my knee so basically I have dislocated knee
With genetic diseases that have no cure and are lethal it's the only right thing/responsible way to think, unfortunately.
Knowing you're condemned to a very short life because of your genetics has to be one of the most difficult things to deal with, especially compounded with the inability to do things that come easy to most other people - including people with other kinds of disabilities (people who are paralyzed waist down can still ride horses with special seats, etc.).
I wouldn't want to have a kid knowing they'd likely have to go through what I did if I had such a disease. Plus, pregnancy would probably put a huge strain on her already failing body. And the baby may likely not get the ideal nutrients - I don't think bagged liquid nutrients are the perfect replacement for real food in a balanced diet. I've heard it's hard to stay strong on nutrient IV bags.
I have all of those conditions except mitochondrial disease.. I passed them to all three of my Spawn. Watching them deal with the symptoms is heartbreaking, but at least they don't have to wait 50 years for a diagnosis..
I have multiple genetic disorders (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS, MCAS) and mental health disorders that I have because they run in my family so I don't feel like it would be fair to give those to my children. Luckily, I'm a lesbian so there's a second person who can carry a child in the relationship, AND i want to adopt :')
When she said that she was going to die before 25, it really scared me, and I was shocked because of how young she is
Katia Tannus
I was surprised that it came in at 14/15. That means it could happen to anyone at any time, and I think that was the scariest part of the video to me.
you can tell that it hits those kids, they’re speechless, they’re out of words and i think thats really beautiful
I’m also a teen with ehlers danlos syndrome. We think i also have POTs and MCAS but it’s such a struggle With the doctors and I’m only 15 currently. To see someone like this spreading information I’m really grateful, but I feel really bad that she was in this position, I’ve just seen she’s passed away. Rest in peace
I was told to be borderline ehlers danlos syndrome when I was 13, I'm currently 17 and hopefully I will get a full diagnosis soon. I'm suspected to be autistic and I have had CDH, and asthma along with one functioning lung
As a teen with a chronic illness, this was very nice to see

She is such a beautiful human being, I wish the best for her💕
She’s incredibly brave (and strong) despite her situation.
I'm crying....So sweet, so pretty. So strong.
i want to hug her so bad oh my god.. i really hope she’ll have a longer and happier life because she really deserves so much
Exactly what i thought 😭 why do the worst things happen to the nicest people 😭 😭
She really has a beautiful way about her. Just a really nice aura. I wish nothing but the best for her!
Me too she’s such a gorgeous girl and so pure god love her
@@newname5205 Which flowers do you think someone would rather pick? The beautiful ones, or the misshapen or wilted ones?
If you answered the beautiful ones, you just answered your own question.
Also, people who suffered a lot in their life tend to be the nicest people, despite how cynical their outlook on life may be.
Me too but I don’t want her to suffer either :(

Yes
Tofi because that’s her dream (she said it at the end of the vidéo)
This really made me cry. It’s so lovely to see how she is so positive about it. I really hope she lives to become a mum❤️🌸
I have so many of the same chronic illnesses and I’m glad to see the representation. It’s hard to find good representation for lesser known chronic illnesses and she was great at explaining the way that everything effects her, it’s especially difficult with kids because you get asked some interesting questions but you also can’t be too morbid most of the time.
so like.. we gonna talk about that little girl at the ending staring at her for 2 seconds then going "you have a nice face" 😂 i wheezed
Her parents have probably taught her to give people compliments as a social formality. And she probably couldn't think of anything that wasn't medical related or sounded somewhat mean. In my lifetime, I've had people awkwardly tell me that I have cute feet or kind eyes for the same reasons. I'll tell them I like their dress, and they look me up and down trying to figure out a reciprocal compliment but only see crutches and a service dog, so they talk about my feet, my hair, or my face. Every. Single. Time. The polar ends of our bodies are the least likely to have a physical health problem that they could accidentally insult us over. And many times, physically disabled people don't have on trendy clothes to compliment...we wear what is comfortable and easy to put on/take off, like sweatpants or leggings.
I hope that little girl is mistaken and has been to the doctor and is vaccinated.
She has been vaccinated, says so herself. "I've never been to the doctor, only got like shots" (in the subtitles). It's a bit confusing, but she just wants to say that she's never been to a doctor due to illness.
anti vaxx mommy
Oh lawd
@@jaydensickle9695 Read the f**king captions as the respondent above said.
@@Ihdc1 Do you have to swear at everyone to get your point across? Grow up.
I have a few of her disabilities, eds and pots. They effect me differently and most of the time i don't look disabled but there are times i can't walk or even stand. Im very glad Julia could be in this video and educate people about her disabilities.
I relate I have EDs, asthma. One functioning lung, CDH and some days I'm in so much pain my legs won't functioning properly but I'm only 17, so I try not to "look disabled" because I'm so young and I don't want to look the odd one out
Awww prayers for this girl and anyone like this 🥺🥺💔
When the boy said, "I love eating!" And she says "me too" but she can't eat for rest of her life.... That broke my heart in millions of pieces!! Oh God why so cruel 😢😢
Especially on a channel where kids try new and exciting foods.
@stay weird or die normal wait so you believe In God and reincarnation? What religion do you follow my dude I'm genuinely curious

Thanks for bringing awareness to the chronic community!
she is so optimistic and tries and makes the most out of so she does more things than I do! She is very powerful
"A lot of Drs think that anxiety causes everything"
YES. WHY. UGH??? It took me so long to be diagnosed!!
Same but they just said “It’s only growth pains, they won’t last forever” *THEY SAID THAT WHEN I WAS 6-7 YEARS OLD IM 12*
@@alexsucks2411 you're still growing lolollol 😂
@@alexsucks2411 ur still growing when ur 12.
I'm feeling a lot of growing pains at least I think. It's probably because I'm short and I'm getting tall
I stopped growing at 12 (I was a tall kiddo...5ft at age 8...) and when doctors could no longer dismiss my body pains as growing pains, they moved on to "must be anxiety" or "you're just an emotional teenage girl looking for attention." I didn't get properly diagnosed with anything until at least age 15, and the most critical of those disorders weren't diagnosed until I was 22 and 23. Some doctors are idiots. No, anxiety did not cause my shoulder to dislocate 16 times this week, and anxiety did not cause the collapse and pronation of my hips, knees, and ankles.
Oh I could just cry for JOY right now... that probably sounds odd, but I have all the same things this girl has. I am 28 now though. To see it on a bigger platform gives me hope. So much. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is something you are born with and it is often the catalyst for a list of disorders that this sweet girl and I have. Most of these are vastly misunderstood and we are often treated terribly by medical professionals. WE NEED AWARENESS, FUNDING, AND RESEARCH AND WE NEED IT NOW. I refuse to continue sugarcoating the fact that these disorders cause mass amounts of suffering. So when you can't even at least get approval for a wheelchair or pricey meds (let alone bigger things like a caregiver, electric wheelchair, treatments, procedures, etc.) it is infuriating, invalidating, and just plain hurtful. For example, we shouldn't ever have sit in an ER rolling in pain while the dr rolls their eyes and goes to google your disorder(s) only to come in and announce that you don't get any pain meds and you just need to calm down and go home. If you think it doesn't happen, ask any one of us. Something has to change before we lose anymore to not only just these issues, but also to suicide because they just can't handle the pain anymore. No more. No more sugarcoating.
HUGE thank you to Cut/HiHo Kids for doing this. It helps more than you know ❤
Wish you the best♥
Happens to a lot of different issues. It’s also often very hard to know which one is the starter and what you already have when they are so many.
I feel the exact same way!! I've been hoping they'd do one of these to help bring awareness to conditions like EDS ad mitochondrial disease. My medical conditions have taken so much from me, and there's so much misunderstanding about them, so I am very very happy they did this
So Mitochondrial Disease is actually the catalyst for the vast amount of her severe systems and organ failure. There is a huge difference in terms of severity.. unless you have a bad case of Vascular EDS. The vast majority of those with EDS have a normal lifespan.. Julia is active in the Mito community and we both have the same mutation and disease progression. (i use an electric wheelchair, use oxygen and am on TPN with a small amount of tube feeding, just got out of a 4 month hospitalization) Almost all the young girls who have Mitochondrial disease get diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome at some point in their diagnostic process.Most specialists agree that it's mainly because very early in their disease progression Mitochondrial Disease can resemble a very severe case of EDS and the hyper awarness of the disease and it's loose diagnostic criteria has gotten by the medical sphere over the last 5 years. I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome type 3 after I had a stroke 4 years ago. I was active in the EDS community Though on average I was extremly sick in comparison to the average EDS patient, people in the community would se me as a "Look how bad my EDS could get". It's heartbreaking to be honest. Many members of my mother family died before they even finshed grade school. As I started going from organ dysfunction to organ failure (theres a huge difference there, It became increasingly clear that the likelyhood that it was exclusivly EDS was low. Testing brought back the results of Mitochondrial Disease I couldnt believe that it wasnt pure EDS. At that point my disease progressed heavily and while there is no straight forward treatment, focusing on pallative care and agressive treatment during surgery, ICU stays, nutrition, and sepsis can make a difference in how far those events are progressing your disease. For many Mito patients dont get that treatment until it's too late and you cant get that function back.
As much as being undiagnosed sucks, We can't even do proper research to figure out why true EDS 3 patients have the illness (when all the others have a recognized genetic basis.)or to look for treatment. It's unfair to *everyone*in the community to have such an undefined illness. People who mainly have dysautonomia and hypermobility shouldnt have to think the could die from type 3 EDS, and it's' just as unfair for the patients that have such severe symptoms and get fixated on this stuff. I usually know 2-4 people who die of mito each month. a figurehead for how severe EDS could hypothetically be. Its heart breaking seeing people who have so much freedom and ability to focusing on those things (It's not their fault its an illness community thing). I
PSA-if you get rapid progression of your illness or have significant muscle weakness (not fatigue or deconditioning) talk about it with your geneticist.
i have EDS and it’s so frustrating to bring it up to my doctors and 3/4 of them admit they don’t even know what it is..
As a fellow chronically ill person, this was so heartwarming and heartbreaking. My heart...
