I understand, 2. Surgery left me in severe chronic pain at age 21, right in the middle of jr year in college! Unable to continue, I dropped out. Dreams and ambitions vanished, as did my coll sweetheart. Three years later I was able to go back and finish a BS in biology, but have never been able to go further. It's really difficult to give up on the career path, and I'm not asking you to do that, but u have options. Keep doing the things you love & enjoy. Keep looking 4 solutions.
I understand how you feel, I am 32 and have a Master of Engineering that I can not longer do a damn thing with. It's an amazing loss. You are told when you are young that if you work hard and do good in school then you will automatically have a good life. Well, I did just that and guess what? I'm not going to have that 'good life'. I don't know if I'll ever be able to support myself again.
I know exactly how you feel, I'll be 24 next month and I was just diagnosed with EDS last month. I had to wear a 24 hour heart monitor, I had an EKG done, I JUST started physio therapy, and in the next month, I have to go in for genetic testing,an echo cardiogram for my heart and aorta, and an ultrasound on my stomach. Should be fun :)
I just graduated from college for 3D animation, and I don't know if my hands will be able to keep working with computers or not.
Hi kerrilynn, did prolotherapy tighten your ligaments like they claim it does or make any difference and how many sesions have you had?

Hey, i've been through all that too. It's a lot of tests, I actually had to wear a 48hr monitor. It sucks, but easy. Good luck with everything!
