EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility Type)

I looked this up while watching, of all things, "Maury." A child had it, but, I couldn't tell.

They had some woman on that show Intervention that claimed she had this, and was addicted to Fentanyl.

Oddly enough, George Takei posted this about his tragic life today. George said he is a good person.

The thing about N. Cage is that his acting is so inconsistent. I loved "Con Air", probably have seen it 20 times. He is hot in that, but THE worst southern accent, ever!

I know! It was a great cast!

"Why didn't you put the bunny down?"

He reminded me of a guy I knew at the time with the long hair.

I never heard of that drug until Michael Jackson was murdered.

EXTREMELY potent stuff, from what I've heard, stronger than morphine, demoral, dilaudid, all of that. The kind she was taking was in this weird lollipop form....

I have this. It's fucked up. I can dislocate a lot of my joints and I get really bad joint pain a lot. It also makes building muscle tissue really hard, and I scar really badly whenever my skin breaks.

Ever since I was 11 years old my knees have clicked and grinded, the cartilage is shot and the bones pretty much grind together. One winter when I was 19, I couldn't get up the stairs in the house I lived in because the pain was so bad.

I'm 27 and I'm currently recovering from surgery to repair a grade V tibial plateau fracture where I also damaged a lot of the cartilage/ligaments around my knee. I'll probably need a full knee replacement within the next 10 years.

Thanks EDS!

An 88-year woman was referred urgently to the surgical clinic with a history of vaginal discharge containing feces. Her practice nurse noticed that following an enema, it had expelled through the vagina. The lady also reported 6-8 weeks of constipation alternating with diarrhea and fecal incontinence. Earlier, her bowel habits had been normal.

On examination, she was frail, but well oriented. Abdominal examination was normal. Digital rectal examination showed fecal loading and a hard object was felt through the rectal wall. Feces were present within the vagina, along with a hard object high up, which turned out to be a pessary. However, the patient could not remember ever having been fitted with such a device.

She was examined more closely under anesthesia and it was determined that the handle of the forgotten pessary had eroded through the vaginal wall into the lower rectum, 8 cm from the anal verge. After the pessary was removed, something had to be done about the large rectovaginal fistula (just imagine passing feces through the vagina - ugh). Because the patient was too frail for reconstructive surgery, a colostomy was performed. Recovery was uneventful.

The article contained the following photo. I'm afraid it's pretty graphic. A red rubber tube has been passed into the elderly patient's rectum, through the defect and out of the vagina, demonstrating the abnormal connection between these anatomical structures.

Looks like a bike lock...
