Bending but Not Breaking: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Living Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe EDS from the long road to diagnosis through the search for management approaches — physical therapy, bracing, pacing, pain management — and the work of designing a life that does not demand more from a body than it can safely give. The accounts address the emotional experience of a heritable, often invisible, frequently misunderstood condition alongside the practical one.

Who it's for

For those living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, those still seeking a diagnosis, the families and partners beside them, and anyone who wants to understand EDS through the people who have built their lives around it.
