Both Caroline and I suffer from various allergies & health issues. We discuss how we navigate those bad days of dysfunction and pain, and how it affects our mothering, relationships with family & friends, and our spiritual life.

I’m just seeing this now. I am 19 years old with EDS. I’ve dislocated my right knee 4 times and my left knee twice. I have a herniated disc in L5-S1 that has not healed much at all now for 2 years. My family and friends often do not understand the pain. Thank you so much for sharing this. It brings me hope to see you two beautiful strong women sharing your stories. God bless you, you will be in my prayers!

You both have such beautiful perspectives on suffering. My favorite line though, “I identify as an athlete.” 😅.

Thank you so much for this conversation! Sometimes it can feel lonely in the world of pain. I have RA and GERD (and anxiety) and many of the foods trigger my flare ups such as gluten. What do you do when receiving the Eucharist?

A little late to watching, but so thankful to hear both of your perspectives. You mentioned one of your doctors maintaining the same treatment plan even if you had AS... I was curious as to if either of you are on biologics? Only asking as that is what I've been prescribed, but I am very weary of them as they are so harsh on the body... May God be praised for this chat!!

No neither of us have done biologics, pray and descern each thing!!

I was reading today's readings and had to share because it mentions dislocating! Haha...it's a lot deeper though obviously.... "Brothers and sisters: In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood. You have also forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as children: My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges. Endure your trials as “discipline”; God treats you as his sons. For what "son” is there whom his father does not discipline? At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain, yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it. So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed."

I have so many of the same symptoms but blood work is fine. Do you have any suggestions for me? My balance is also very poor and the fogginess triggered by light or sometimes absence of light. Lots of numbness but all tests come back normal. This has been going on for over 20 years.

She seems to be a gentle, soft spoken lovely woman. I enjoyed this conversation a great deal. I could relate to much of it. It made me feel less alone with my auto-immune struggles. God bless. ❤️
