These are the presents that EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME bestowed upon me. At fifty eight years of age I had had enough. I lay on the floor in my garage with the fallen ladder as my companion listening to the siren of an approaching ambulance. I thought to myself "I have to find a way to make all this stop. If I survive"..
