We are a group of young filmmakers who have come together to make a documentary to create awareness about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or EDS. The Ehlers-Danlos Society EDS Awareness EDS Today EDSWellness @nyitedscenter Ehlers-Danlos Support UK EhlersDanlos Support

How we stumbled upon this idea was nothing short of a cosmic coincidence. We attended Mitch Martow's TedX talk, where we learned about the struggles of an EDS patient. We learnt how this chronic illness creates huge, colossal impacts on life of every suffering individual.

We are determined to let people know what living with such an invisible illness feels like, what it feels like to be going through such pain and still not having anyone to believe you, what it feels like to collect all the broken pieces and move ahead. The Ehlers-Danlos Society

A glimpse! Mitch has been through a lot and it’s time that the world knows the struggles that everyone suffering from EDS goes through. Help us in making this film a reality by contributing a little to the film. Here’s the link of our crowdfunding page - indiegogo.com/projects/bend-…

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are genetic conditions. Clinical #genetics is the @NHS service that could tell you more about this. Diagnosis of #EDS can be made by any doctor, such as a dermatologist, rheumatologist or clinical #geneticist. buff.ly/2DWWam7

We've extended our campaign by one month (until Feb. 17) to reach our goal of $8,000. Have you ever felt like you want to take action in support of #chronicpain and #chronicillness? Now you can do just that! Link in bio. #EhlersDanlos The Ehlers-Danlos Society Ehlers-Danlos Support UK EDS Today

It's hard not to feel like you're being judged when you ask someone to repeat what they said, except slower. #brainfog #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #chronicillness

Those with chronic pain are experts at spotting fake smiles because they have seen the same expression on themselves so often! #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #raredisease #invisibleawareness #invisibleillnesswarrior #disability #ChronicPain

Still waiting on technology that will allow us to objectively measure pain! Wouldn't it be a relief to never have to describe it to disbelievers ever again? #chronicillness #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #invisibleillness #chronicpain #pain #spoonie #disability #raredisease
