hello. my names jamie, 27 years of age. i  suffer from a pretty unknown condition called ehlers-danlos syndrome. its a genetic connective tissue disease. there is no cure! well as a result of my underline condition of eds i cannot workout in ways that others can without dislocating one or more of my joints. verry verry painful. anyway, i dislocated my right knee on 8-16-06 and broke the ligaments in that knee, was told id never walk again but i did. five years went by and it dislocated again. that was it. i had a blood clot removed and my leg was reconstructed.  both times i was stuck unable to move for months at a time just trying to recover. by the way it takes me twice as long to heal. so i to became obese. its hard just getting out of bed when im not overweight and now i dread just waking up. my arms are so heavy my ligaments are stretched and im going to have to get both shoulders reconstructed. my orthopedist is waiting for me to get my gastric bypass done so i can loose weight and he can do a ligament transfer in my ankle. im basically falling apart and obesity is making my complications worse. i also have high blood pressure and take medication for heart palpitations. of chourse having children did not help eigther.  well i can go on and on with my story but i think ill save something for later
