My deepest sympathies to the loved ones of #StephanieAston, whose far-too-soon passing illuminates how #WomensPain and #InvisibleIllness are dismissed by medical professionals the world around.
While I have a less lethal form of #EDS than Aston, I have experienced firsthand the shock, surprise, and denial that my symptoms elicit from providers. Without greater awareness about this rare disorder, more women will suffer and die.

The *holds nose* government is potentially doing something right by launching a survey for women in England only covering the reproductive system. Whether you've been pregnant or not, want to be or not, if you have first hand experience of female reproductive matters then why not add your views and experiences and express your preferences?

A victory for women who bleed red blood - not windex. Also wtf this hasn't been done before 2023? The benefit to women will apparently be having their provider believe them when they say they bleed lots and need medical care. #WomensHealth
