76Claudia2205The May month is awareness month for EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). Recently I've been diagnosed with this syndrome myself after having mobility issues myself for most part of my life but never knew why.Now also organs are affected by this syndrome. Patients are often called Medical Zebra's since it's a very rare syndrome and doctors don't know enough about it to recognize the signs.Doctors are learned to look at the obvious. If doctors hear hoofbeats they think about horses instead of Zebra's.EDS patients are Medical Zebra's since it's a very rare and dangerous syndrome. Zebra's and their striped pattern are used all around the internet and within patient support groups as well to raise awareness.8 years ago I had a massive load of bone fractures with a long recovery ahead.As a result I got disabled on my right leg and often thought / think about leg amputation because someone with a bionic leg can walk better and faster then I can.So I've choosen as impossible body armor ofcourse bionic legs with a Zebra pattern on some parts. Having disabilities is a true daily invisble struggle.I took this opportunity to create something what affects me personally.
