@darknesdance I can't do physical therapy because by the time I was finally diagnosed, my ligaments were so far gone that physical therapy doesn't help much.  It just tears my muscles more.  All the exercise I can actually do is low impact, like walking.  I have a treadmill and an exercise ball that I'll sit on when I'm working on my computer or sewing a costume (I sew by hand, not by machine because my legs shake too much and have spasms sometimes, so I can't use an electric machine.  One day, I'd love to have an antique singer with the manual pedal, but all the ones I find our right overpriced or broken.  Had they caught my EDS maybe when I was a teenager and still growing, I could have gotten a few more years of strengthening my muscles to hold my body together instead of relying on my faulty ligaments...  Such is life.  I take the good with the bad and keep moving forward!

@littlejohn22 luckily, all my Christian friends have their heads screwed on tight, except for one who is my co-worker, but we don't talk politics on the job, and we have agreed to "unfollow" each other's posts so we don't get mad.  I also find it so weird that a black man who served in the military would actually support Trump.  But our state seems to be on Hilary's side... thank Cthulhu!
