Worn out

It takes a lot of strength to get up everyday align my joints and put on a smile. It hurts.  Even when something is not dislocated it still hurts. It always hurts.  Being positive has never really been tough for me though.  I have always thought that there is someone out there who would love to only have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and that I should be happy that it's not worse.  Someone recently told me that I must have been born with extra endorphins which I think might actually be true!  While being positive is a great thing it has really caused me to forget about myself and ignore the pain I am in which really gets me into trouble in the long run.  For my health I really need to start thinking about myself and learn to not ignore the pain and try to put my needs higher up on the priority scale.
