The striped version of this hypermobile EDS card says "I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. My collagen is faulty so my ligaments are too stretchy and my joints can come out of place or injure easily, causing pain and fatigue. My skin and insides are affected too. Sometimes I look fine. Other times I might need to use a mobility aid or joint support. It is why I may need to do things differently. There is no cure. Living with this is my normal."

No, there is no cure. It is my normal."
