Ich möchte euch noch auf die Arte-Doku "Chronisch krank, chronisch ignoriert" hinweisen, die die Schwere der multisystemischen Erkrankungen #MEcfs und #LongCovid thematisiert, aber auch die Zusammenhänge zu den Erkrankungen #MCAS, #CCI, #EDS, #FQAD, #POTS etc.

Die Doku ist auf YouTube und in der Arte-Mediathek und zeigt eindrücklich das Leid der Betroffenen.

Wann passiert endlich etwas?

When you’re healthy you believe you’ll always be healthy. That if you get sick it’ll be a temporary slow down & you will be back to normal after a few days.

When you learn that isn’t true, when you come face to face with the reality of how quickly you can lose your health, you become cautious.

This caution is part of protecting your baseline, and it’s a necessary survival skill when chronically ill.

EDS is weird.

Sometimes I have to use a wheelchair because of fatigue and to prevent tired hips from just popping out.

If my hip goes it's better to use crutches because wheelchairing with a subluxed hip is harder than supported walking.

But today, because my shoulder recently popped out, I can't use a wheelchair or crutches because I need to rest my shoulder.

So I look less disabled BECAUSE I can't use one of my arms. :D I have to wear my special sunflower lanyard to signal my disability because I don't have mobility aids with me.

“Conclusions: The predisposition to anxiety in people with variant connective tissue reflects dynamic interactions between neural centres processing threat (amygdala) and representing bodily state (insular and parietal cortices). Correspondingly, interventions to regulate amygdala reactivity while enhancing interoceptive precision may have therapeutic benefit for symptomatic hypermobile individuals.” #EDS #CTD cambridge.org/core/journals/th
