Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
One thing I'd like to make clear first is that Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, all types, affects everyone differently. For some it may not affect them at all, for others it impacts every single aspect of their life to the extent that feeding tubes, wheelchairs, and long hospital stays has much become the norm to them and their families.

Benefits of Laughter
Have you ever had a really bad muscle ache that lasted all day and just wouldn’t go away no matter what you did? That happened to me the other day; my low back had been hurting, nothing was stopping it, and I was getting frustrated. Trying not to let it completely ruin my day, I started looking at some funny stuff on the internet. My mood started to improve, and within a few minutes, I was surprised and happy to realize that I was in much less pain than I had been in all day.

Cough Drops that Will Actually Soothe Your Sore Throat
I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I've decided that I'm either sick (my brother is sick) or it's the air quality with all these wildfires going on. As most people do when they're sick, I whined to my mother. My grandma joined in and said she had gotten a box of Lumen'swatermelon cough drops from Family Health Services. Then I realized, when have watermelon flavored cough drops ever helped with a sore throat?

Dream Child
Around mid-July I was listening to the radio, just cruising in my red truck, with my radio blasted on an average day to work. My ears were suddenly perked up by a story I began to listen very intently to on WM-PR. This was the story of a woman whose name was Tanya. In my mind I imagined her as woman who had ruffled, short, Jet-black, and spiky hair. She wore a leather jacket and a crop band tee-shirt along with stone-washed, ripped jeans.It wasn't so much the punk-rocker image as much as the angry glare on her face and the craving for darkness that stuck out to me. As she began to evolve to me I fell deeply into her story, I fell in love with this image that so accurately described me seven years ago; I was tough,and I was hardened. My heart was impenetrable and I loved only as deeply as I could feel; which wasn't much more than a paper cut. I became quiet, dark, angry, fiercely introverted and deep into myself. I understood Tanya, and the pain she felt. Tanya had a rough childhood, she had been abused, unloved,and no one could reach beyond the dark tower that she had built around her heart. For a person who loved words and connecting with people, I became the opposite for many years; a person who could only connect with my demons.
