How would you nerf Athena without breaking her?

My mother and sisters all have EDS! And I'm curious about a million things!

Do you suffer chronic pain? How do you manage it? My sisters all do yoga to specifically strengthen their joints and try to avoid hypermobility while also getting a workout in since 2/3 can't actually do other exercises due to heart and spinal issues.

Have you tried any sort of special diets? How do your doctors/friends/whomever react to you telling then about your EDS? Have you felt as though weather and altitude affect you?

I don't know anyone outside of my family with EDS and I wonder how things compare!

Correct me if I am wrong, I feel as if I am misunderstanding you.

You infer that James Holmes was influenced by The Dark Knight Rises even though he decided to commit the shooting when it was just released. If he had never seen it before (barring pirated copies, mayhaps?) how would it influence him?

Or is it more along the lines of "I'm going to do this violent thing during a violent movie!"

I am just curious and I would like to have some clarification.

That part about anesthesia - ouch. I can't imagine how much that sucks especially since (in my fam's experience) EDS can require a lot of surgery and severe treatment.

How does the weather affect you? Do you live in high altitudes? Sea level? Is it humid or dry? I'm fascinated and have tried to gained as much information as I can since I really, really just want to help my family.

Wow. That must suck. Like hardcore... suuuuuuuuuuuuck. I'm sorry. I know one sister tried the copper IUD and when she got a flare up she could feel the thing inside her and ended up getting it yanked back out immediately; she ended up with the pill. One sister uses NuvaRing and I've never thought about how the use of hormonal birth control could effect them.

I should ask...

How long did it take for you to be diagnosed? Was it difficult? I'm sorry I have so many questions.
