Isabella, a young queer individual from Vernon, BC, shares their struggles living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, an invisible chronic illness. We will explore what EDS is, the diagnosis process, how they manage all aspects of life with a chronic illness, and gender identity in our medical system. Isabella dives into how complex an invisible illness can be and the importance of advocating for oneself in health and identity.
