In this video we are sharing some of our top tips, tricks and hacks for living with HSD, hEDS, cEDS & vEDS. Having shared some of my eds hacks on my instagram in my #hacksforspoonies series I thought I should ask my fellow zebras what their favourite hacks and best tips. I really hope you find some of these ideas helpful.

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH Thank you thank you I definitely need to take more care of my body and I am not weak when I ask for help/ let people know how much pain I really am in

It’s so wild to hear people talking about exercising and how it helps. I wish. I’m lucky if I have the energy to go for a walk and if I walk too long I’m in pain for days and exhausted.

I have hEDS and Cranialcervical Instability. What’s helped me the most for joint/muscle pain is the cream called, Penetrex. Also, I’m taking a non-opioid medication called, Low Dose Naltrexone at 3.5mg. It helps significantly with inflammation, pain and autoimmune symptoms. I highly, highly recommend you talking to your doctor about this medication. Also, a pregnancy pillow is essential! My ribs sublux a lot! Like 3-6 times a day. What has helped me put them back into place is a dense foam roller. I roll my back on it and my ribs go back into place with far less pain. For on the go sublux’s, my PT taped together 2 tennis balls 🎾 to look like a figure 8. I keep this in my car and put it on my back where needed and press against the car seat and my ribs are popped back in!

Is it not “normal” for your arms and stuff to hurt when doing your hair? (For reference I’ve been doing my hair for about 10 years…)
