Erica has Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

By Hidden Disabilities Sunflower The Sunflower Conversations Share

Erica has Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome – a genetic condition which wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood. In this conversation we hear how the VEDS affects her body, in particular her internal organs, which caused her to have a major ruptured colon. During childbirth Erica’s body struggled to cope and she explains how that led to obtaining a diagnosis.

Despite the affect to her mental health, physical health and work life Erica is positive and an absolute pleasure to talk to.

Hosted by Chantal Boyle and Lynn Smith, Hidden Disabilities Sunflower.
