Tomorrow, (21st September) is Jeans for Genes Day. People in schools and workplaces all over the country will be wearing jeans to raise money for Genetic Disorders UK. This charity supports individuals and families effected by genetic disorders and helps to save lives! Jeans are a staple of almost everyone’s wardrobes and Jacamo has every style of jeans a man could hope for. So what cut of jeans suits you best?
ehlers danlos syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos and Joint Hypermobility syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, according to many sources are interchangable terms. I won’t linger on that in this post, as that’s not its purpose. Whatever you want to call it, not many people are aware of what it is and what it can entail. Whilst many people are hypermobile, EDS and JHS are a whole different kettle of fish and can bring joint pain and a whole plethora of other problems. Joints may dislocate, the sufferer may have stretchy skin and/or bruise easily and may have problems with their bowel or other organs.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from my blog, it’s that although I may be an introvert, I can still get my voice heard. So far I have helped people by sharing my problems with anxiety and breastfeeding after Autumn fell seriously ill , as well as my postpartum body confidence issues. I have also written a post about my husband’s trichotillomania. As such, I thought I’d also use it to try and spread awareness of EDS/JHS this EDS Awareness Month!
