I’ve got this wacky thing called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III: Hypermobility. It’s like a superpower, yet it’s not. I shoulda been a contortionist. When I was in college and things got tough, I would actually say, “I should drop out and become a contortionist.”

The upside is that I’m very flexible. The downside is that I’m very flexible. Things pop out and “sublux” quite often. Usually, it’s not that big of a deal. Except for when my hip pops out. I scream bloody murder when that happens. Thankfully, it’s only happened a handful of times.

For me, the worst part is stairs. My poor knees make this disgusting, crunchy sound and they often decide to stop working entirely. My other nemesis is gallons of juice, milk, etc. Whenever I pick those up, my shoulder and wrist dislocate.

My salvation has been my Hurrycane, various braces, Kinesio Tape®, and physical therapy. But I really want this Superflex Body Suit! Granted, it won’t add all of my joints, but it’s a start.
