As part of #EDSAwarenessMonth I am sharing a little of my own experience with this often invisible condition.
Today I am going to share a little about the gynae issues, pregnancy and labour and the aftermath
If you are squeamish at all please skip this thread /1
Back in 2005 when I fell pregnant I hadn’t heard of EDS. My biggest worry was what if anything labour would do to my seizures could I still take my medication while pregnant ? (- I wont go into details about the potential issues surrounding my epilepsy and childbirth here) /2

Myths and Facts about EDS
Myth #1: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are ‘just stretchy skin.’
Reality: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue. /1
Connective tissue is found all over the body, in skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments, blood vessels, organs, gums, eyes, and so on. /2

To the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire I give you the latest parody. With some serious artistic license, not in any chronological order and credit for the first two verses and the chorus going to @HutchPopperson
This is We Didn't want the liars 👇#ALtLyricsParodyCrew
Boris Johnson, Mad Nads, mystery daughter, Bojo’s Dad
Social media, Daily Mail, smelly people go to jail.
David Cameron, Michael Gove, pigs heads, grams of blow.
North London, South London, are apparently “no go”.

The importance of the ECHR a thread
The ECHR was set up in the wake of WW2 and the Holocaust. The UK was integral to the ECHR with British Lawyers drafting large sections of it and Winston Churchill being a vociferous advocate for it. /1
The ECHR was a BRITISH idea and drafted by BRITISH Lawyers to protect citizens from abuses of state. /2

For any fans of Boney M I apologise now...
You see inspiration struck yesterday so I did a thing. To the tune of Rasputin - an ode to DJT
There lived a certain man in DC long ago
He was big and round and he had an orange glow
Most people looked at him with horror and disgust
But to Maga chicks he was lovely and robust

I give you some of the New Cons a thread /1
#NewCons
This is Gareth Bacon. In 2023 he caused outrage when suggesting that people using foodbanks should look at how they “manage their personal finances”. He also signed a letter that referred to far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory “cultural marxism”. He is MP for Orpington /2

In light of Anne Widdecombe’s abhorrent comments and the rise of food poverty I feel it necessary to have an open honest discussion about malnourishment in early years and the affect it can have. #FoodPoverty a thread /1
Please do not mistake this. I am not looking for anyone’s sympathy the events happened along time ago I am using my own experience to raise awareness of the wider issue at hand. /2

We hear a lot of people banging on about "Free Speech/Freedom of Speech". This is a misnomer we do NOT have Free Speech in this country nor do we have "Freedom of Speech" per se. We have Freedom of Expression. /1
It is not an absolute right and never has been. Freedom of Expression is part of the Human Rights Act 1998 and is subject to a number of restrictions under law.
Moreover it is important to understand that Freedom of Expression does not mean Freedom from consequence /2

We need to talk about Long Covid a 🧵 #LongCovidAwarenessDay#LongCovidAwareness
In January 2021 my partner caught covid. It was a little under 2 weeks before his 43rd Birthday. This was a month or so after the first vaccination was rolled out but he was not in the age bracket for it so hadn’t had one. /1
