hi i'm lauren, or paxton, or pax, whichever you prefer.
i know a few people here from bydls, that's how i found this, a link was posted on bydls.
i was diagnosed in... 2001? i think with hyper mobility syndrome.
was going my little "let's gross everyone out" thing in december 2008 at PT during the wheelchair clinic... got diagnosed with EDS III.
my most hyper mobile joints are my elbows. the ones i dislocate the most are my ankles.
i have very mild skin involvement. cuts dont heal very fast. i still have all three picc line scars even though the last one was over 3 months ago. the oldest one is over 8 months old and is still there. my scars from a surgery in 2004 are also still weird.
about me ummm...
i'm a buddhist, i play bass guitar, i collect things with lobsters on them, i also collect uglydolls. i love hockey and baseball. i'm a sociology major/technical theatre and lighting minor. i'm a real life ghost hunter, i've been on 4 investigations with my team. i love mangos and strawberries. i have a cat named monk. i have brown hair and pink bangs. i watch far too much law and order and oz. i want to be an orthotist after i graduate. i like bunnies. i'm irish italian french and native american. i ramble alot.
Hi! nice to meet you! My boyfriend plays bass too!! He asks: It's easy for you to play bass with EDS?
Have a nice day,
Chiara

The closest I ever got was Guitar Hero and I have to tape my fingers LOL or else I'll rock out and they'll come out!
Steph, I know it's horrible to laugh. But I can only see you now playing Guitar Hero. Atleast you found a way to prevent them for coming out or so I hope.
Sheesh. You just made my day.
