Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome 

A collagen disorder affecting roughly 1 in 5000 people to varying degrees. There are 4 "most common" types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS): Classical 1 & 2, Hypermobile and Vascular.

Because collagen is like the glue that holds the human body together, people with EDS almost always show marked joint hypermobility, eg. "double-jointedness". In its severe form, EDS causes frequent dislocations, because there is very little holding joints in place.

Tendons, ligaments, skin and internal tissues can be amazingly stretchy, but this also creates weakness, so sufferers' skin usually bruises, cuts and scars easily, as well as being unusually sensitive to heat and sunburn. Also, because our eyes are composed predominantly of collagen, sufferers are often short-sighted and have a high risk of glaucoma later in life.

The Classical types embody all of these symptoms. Type 1 is the name given to the more chronic cases, while Type 2 refers to those with less severe symptoms.

The Classical and Hypermobile types are very similar, however the Hypermobile type has loose joints as its most chronic symptom. Skin and organ problems are less severe in this type. Building lean muscle to protect and strengthen joints can greatly improve symptoms and reduce dislocations, while still allowing for increased mobility.

In the Vascular form, EDS affects the walls of veins and arteries, making them thin and extremely fragile. The vast majority of sufferers of this type die from cardiovascular complications before the age of 50.

It is also important to note that sufferers of the other 3 types are also at risk of cardiovascular problems.

The majority of contortion artists have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a collagen disorder which allows them to move their joints beyond the normal range of motion, but which also causes pain and a higher risk of injurious dislocations.

<< Ellers >>

If you know an Ellers, how does it feel to have a friend who stares at walls 24/7? Don't worry, even though they are inclined to repeating this behavior, they are always paying attention to the conversation.

Ellers tries to start conversations herself but fails miserably, so they constantly make side comments in an attempt to make up for that!

Ellers holds their friendships and family close to their heart. They will always find ways to help other when they can because it brings them happiness :)

Ellers is very bad at giving hugs, but they try and that's what matters <3
Ellers is over there in the corner, staring at the wall. Go and say hi, they're really nice!

Ellers is so funny once you get to know her!

You have a friend named Ellers? POGCHAMP!

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
