TikTok University

There's a good deal of clutter but every now and then, I learn something big on TikTok. Emily sent me a video by a doctor that she knew would make my jaw drop as well as justify long-standing issues that I have. I have hypermobility and possibly Ehlers-Danlos (like PCOS, one of those hard-to-diagnose disorders)

The video she sent me:

So my "what weird side effect will I get" is likely caused by EDS? Looking it up further, yep, it's a thing

Well sonofabitch.

is it a relief to find that out?

Sort of. Still frustrating to deal with but at least I feel validated that my concerns are NOT just "in my head."

At least now you can point to this if a doctor downplays your concerns.
