Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS)

As a young teenager, I experienced muscle fatigue and exhaustion after even minimal exercise. Aged 24, I was diagnosed with the connective tissue disorder, Ehlers-Danlos.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of rare inherited conditions that affect connective tissue. 80% of our bodies are made up of connective tissues, which provide support in skin, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, internal organs and bones – the ‘glue’ that holds us together.

EDS can affect people in different ways – symptoms include joint hypermobility, fatigue, chronic pain and functional digestive disorder. For some, the condition is relatively mild, while for others their symptoms can be severely disabling.

Please help me raise money for charity, 10% of profits are donated to charity.  

I believe in caring – this life is for sharing, giving and loving, and I hope that through my art, I will be able to help others.
