I wanted to talk about celebrities that may have had EDS and why I think these celebrities may have had EDS. Please note I have no proof- I am just someone with EDS who can see the signs.
Michael Jackson:
Michael Jackson had a ton of symptoms!
- Lobe-less Ears
- Hollow Cheeks
- Poor Wound healing
- Marfanoid apperance- weight 48kg height 175cm
- Hypermobility
- High pitched voice was said might have been caused by abnormal cartilage
- Anxiety Issue
- Pain
- Insomnia
- It was reported that he was a hypochondriac
- Low muscle tone- in the scenes with his shirt off
- Lupus- connected to EDS commonly
- Sensitivity to the sun
- Breathing difficulties
- Collapsed 1995-POTS maybe? When he collapsed in 1995 medics cited irregular heart beats (tachycardia), gastro-intestinal inflammation, dehydration, kidney and liver irregularities
- Arthritis
- Translucent skin
Johnny Depp:
Johnny Depp seems to have the typical EDS elastic skin
Chopin:
People with EDS have speculated that he has EDS. He had hands that are typical in EDSers and a lot of people with EDS can play Chopin very well.
Taylor Swift:
Taylor Swift has a Marfanoid apperance, the 'typical' EDS face (eyes a bit far apart and small chin), hypermobility, low muscle tone,
So what do you guys think? Any comments?
Hugs,
Rachael
I agree with Michael Jackson. Not sure about the others. I also suspect that Whitney Houston had EDS.
ReplyDeleteI did a Google search on whether Taylor Swift has Ehlers-Danlos or not and this page came up as a link.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your assumptions about Michael Jackson (and a few other actors/actresses who get addicted to pain meds) and Taylor Swift being closer to Marfan's but I still think she has either it or EDS. To the posting from January, 2014, yeah, I agree about Whitney Houston as well.
A lot is asked of these people and drugs help them numb the pain and try and keep going. Sad part is you build a tolerance and then don't know when to stop because the pain never stops.
Another person is Ann Coulter, though I am pretty sure she has Marfan's.
BTW, I was just told at the age of 52 that I probably have been dealing with EDS my whole life but I also have MS and RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and we blamed it all on those.
