I’m 52 with EDS and today has been a right kick in the pants. I have arthritis in the base of both thumbs. Any action that requires an opposable thumb causes so much pain. At the moment I can’t even do up my own bra, write, carry a full plate or cut up anything harder than cooked veg. There’s no h

Memorial day weekend of 2023 my car got totaled on a drivers side impact, and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. I'v
