That is 100% reason to remember the name.

Do you know of an underlying cause for all of your issues? I'm wondering if it's in the same family as what I have, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, but it's easy for me to put things into that mold since I know it so well.

Also, what's the best thing you've read recently? Doesn't have to be a book :D

I don't even know where you'd start because I don't know the specifics of what's going on with you. Basically, EDS is a genetic defect in the way collagen is built in your body. Faulty collagen = a whole lot of messed up other things. But there are a million rare diseases and a lot of things about medicine that I don't quite understand. Coming from someone who is also chronically ill, I wish you many, many good days.

I read Maus in high school and loved it. Graphic novels never seemed like something I would enjoy and I've read several in recent years that have been great and way exceeded my expectations. Another one I read is "the road to god knows" about a girl who's mom has Schizophrenia. Pretty depressing but a good read I thought. Now I want to read Maus again...
