My early symptoms remembered by my best friend

[@shannongreenwell1278]

That’s always wonderful to have a good friend to rely on during your life and when you are fighting with a chronic illness such as EDS and other illnesses that come with it. I, too have EDS and I’m flat footed. We all love you, too Izzy!! After all your my Christian sister( God’s eyes) !

Hey, I loved my wheelie backpack. I would even decorate it. But it was weird for me because even though I had back problems, I also had like... Super strength. I could carry both of my foster sisters on my back and walk around.

[@reina8942]

HAHA same!! Me, a 42kg girl, tried lifting my 85kg dad and I could!!! I didn't even know I was capable of that, lol!

[@airmidia7100]

@@reina8942 It was so weird! One day my brother was in the way and told me to make him move so I picked him up and put him in the next room. He was so confused since I was super underweight and like a foot shorter. Now I need to stabilize myself to pour milk. But I got some use out of it while it lasted.

[@reina8942]

Airmidia Omg haha. I'm similar now, I can barely lift a kilo anymore... I wonder if being short is an EDS-thing? I'm only 4'11 and I stopped growing at 11 years old. I started puberty at 7. My 12 year old sister is almost 5'7, still growing, and does not have EDS like me!

[@airmidia7100]

@@reina8942 I have no idea. My friend has EDS and he's super tall. So I don't know if it has an effect on it. But my family pretty much comes in two sizes. Giant or hobbit.

ooo I would love a video about the vocal stuff. I’m a singer and performer in high school too and I have problems with my jaw constantly dislocating when I sing so was wondering if you experienced that?

[@prairiemomof2]

I have problems brushing my teeth, too! I can barely open my mouth very far (jaw TMD), and hurts my back and neck to lean over the sink to spit! My neck/spine makes popping sounds. So glad to hear I’m not alone.

[@MK-mj9gx]

My child's neck pops. Can you please describe yours, please?

[@susanlevine779]

Now almost everyone at least in elementary school have wheelie backpacks since it's now been documented that carrying heavy back packs on your back isn't healthy for young children. If you were going to elementary school and even middle school now, you would fit right in with the wheelie backpack.

[@leeanne4789]

I can relate to a bunch of stuff said in this video. It's sad, yet comical when you look back at what happened in the past and relate it to what is happening now. It makes a lot of sense, you know? I also heard you yelling at Tiger in a past video and now again in this video 😂

[@IzzyKDNA]

he keeps attacking two of my cats hahahah

[@VulcanOnWheels]

3:17 This is probably a typical non-native speaker question but is that called "hunched over?" 4:44 Apparently Renate(sp?) expected you would cut this. I can't help but wonder how she'll react when she sees that you left it in the video. 8:06 That's one way to put it! 10:28 Isn't that *bar* mitzvah? It was so good to see the two of you have such a laugh! :-D

[@indigosky1002]

If they don't remember whose bat mitvah it is then it clearly wasn't for the boy she kissed. Bat mitvah is for girls, bar mitzvah is for boys, so I assume they were at a female friend's bat mitzvah that the boy was also attending.

[@IzzyKDNA]

bat mitzvah is for girls and it was a girl's bat mitzvah!

[@madelinechumley6247]

Oh girl, the laughing while scared thing I do too. Like full creepy hysterics. Same thing when I am in severe physical pain. EDIT: my bloat baby is named Rodrigo :P

[@return2basics242]

Haha! You two are crazy! Crazy fun, that is! I'll bet you had a blast with this video! 😁

[@katkaplan3]

It’s bizzare- my bff from way back then has all the same memories of my issues- my flat feet problems, my swelling, my food issues/bloating, my back, neck, gym injuries, my flexibility, my walking slow- out of breath, bending over to catch breath...losing my voice, bruising/healing issues.... etc so many things , if onlyyyyyy I’d been able to put together the puzzle pieces back then, or better yet if my drs had.

[@minealone88]

I noticed the part you mentioned raw vegetables when you were talking about stomach issues... can I ask what you meant specifically? Only because I have a lot of problems with some raw vegetables too and would love to be able to find something to help. I do like veggies and dip but most of them dont like me lol!

[@smievil]

oh, i think i have some socks that are tighter around the "flat feet" part, now i miss them

[@MicaelaHoo]

This is such a helpful video!!! Btw, am I the only one who thinks Renata looks like Maddie Ziegler?

[@stldf5863]

Micaela Hoo omg i thought it was her at first glance

[@GeorginasJourney]

I love how the wheelie backpack came up in this conversation so soon after we talked about it! 😂 Also, your friend seems so sweet! Ps, did not know your bloating had a name ahahaha

[@MK-mj9gx]

My child's school wouldn't allow wheeled backpacks. Now my child has developed Scoliosis! Is there a therapy for Scoliosis, like a Chiropractor, or exercises? I have heard of some good results! Anyone else?

[@angieahite2597]

OMG I HAD A WHEEL BACKPACK TOO!!!!

[@marissabruner1494]

I have a wheelie backpack in college now ha Hahahahahaha 10/10 would recommend to anyone on the fence. Immediately helped my shoulders and neck

[@SaraShire]

I love you, too. 😘

[@dorothysnyder7014]

My best friend and I used to twirl the baton as kids. I could NOT do this certain activity with the baton where you just twirl it on your wrist. Kind of like a figure eight on your wrist but no hands. No matter how much I practiced I could not do it. When we found out I had a connective tissue disorder as an adult then my friend said that is why your couldn't do that with the baton. I can't turn my wrist at all like others. We may be more flexible but at times we aren't flexible like others are. About 1:58 in this video. Oh how hard I tried to do this. LOL If only I knew what I know now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4SrhGqHbLeYqrs
