Posted on the bulletin in the waiting area of my physical therapist’s office was an invitation to a support group for persons with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities.
2023 brought me several diagnoses, including Ankylosing Spondylitis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. My “support” system doesn’t understand my new reality, so they thought to connect me with like-experienced others who I could lean on for support (educational and/or emotional).
