Hey. My name is Amanda, and I am a 24 year old Female. I joined this app to bond with my fellow spoonies. I have had chronic pain my whole life but was not diagnosed with many of my conditions till I was 15/16 years old. I now am fighting to get a diagnosis of EDS as I match 90% of the symptoms of minimally hEDS. It has definitely been a struggle. But my pain is so high that it is difficult to sit up for long periods of time and often suffer from subluxations. I have also had 2 major back surgeries for Scheurmanns Kyphosis - 26 screws and 2 rods and then all of that taken out about a year and a half ago. I am also recovered 5 years from Anorexia Nervosa and am about to graduate from a masters program to be a therapist! I am excited to meet, help, and commiserate with you all!
