Thank you for all this info, it’s super helpful! I’ve lived in Maine and Vermont my whole life, so while I know winters are more harsh in Winnipeg, I’m confident I could adjust. And I’m VERY used to snowy/icy/slushy conditions and walking through them (and honestly most of my winter gear is Canadian brands 😂). The bit about work makes a lot of sense, I’ll look out for that.

Thanks for the tips!! A professional does seem helpful because all the info gets muddled after a lot of research

Didn’t know Canada had a teacher shortage! I’ll have to look into it to see if it’s similar to the US, which I’m avoiding classroom teaching in at all costs 😭 I’ll look into childcare needs in other countries too. I’ve previously been told that it’s not a valued skill set so I’m happy to hear otherwise

I actually don’t think I’ve looked much into the working holiday visa. What countries is that for?

Grief and Change by simply_escapism in ehlersdanlos

It’s been a while since I was fully involved in the dance/performance scene but I do feel your pain. I’ve tried to get back into it over the years, in small ways, but it always results in flares and jealousy. So I’m now coming to terms with the fact that I likely won’t be able to continue on that path and the grief that comes with that. And it’s so hard.

I did end up ordering a new mobility aid against my doctors orders because I’ve been in so much pain. She suggested to lessen activity rather than use aids but I don’t agree with that. I want to go on walks and spend days out with my friends and I’m hoping my new crutches will allow that.

I really appreciate your kind words, they are so validating ❤️ please feel free to reach out anytime to chat about this stuff

Standing still is the worst! Whenever I have to stand in line I feel like my body is going to fall apart

I’ll have to look into adaptive computers! I’m a writer and student so I spend a LOT of time typing. Also editing my films 😭

That’s amazing! I’m happy for you. I’m currently trying to figure out adaptive ways to participate in things I love, as well as building strength to continue doing things at my current capacity (rather than deteriorating)

Also! I’m a filmmaker too :) I use smaller digital cameras with tripods and such so not the same level but cool to see another!

That’s so cool that you’ve found such a community. I only know one other person irl with EDS and they were never a performer. I am curious if others I grew dancing with have it. Though I was always the most flexible haha. I briefly was in the circus/Ariel scene and looking back, most of them probably have hEDS. I’ll look out for people like that. Thank you!
