About Me

Chris.: My name is Chris, I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I have ehlers danlos hypermobility syndrome, a problem with the connective tissue collegan in the body affecting joints, skin, various organs. I had breast cancer in 2005, stage 3 which was fast growing and aggressive. I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and herceptin. I am in remission, but still under the hospital until 2015. I am in pain all the time due to arthritis caused by a fall I had on to my spine, but also due to ehlers danlos hypermobility syndrome, but I attempt to overcome the pain and get on with life.
