Hope comes in many forms for different people. For some, they are able to find hope by waiting around for the next new medication to be approved by the FDA. Others search for hope by becoming so well-educated on their illness that the obsession can take over the rest of their life. Since we are Christians, we have to say that the place we find hope is in our faith in God. Two of our favorite verses are  Deuteronomy 31:6...  Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Romans 15:13  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

We have found hope and peace living with this chronic illness called EDS. We now can  encourage thousands of others on their journey of living with their chronic illness. Whatever you believe, you will have to find the place that gives you true hope and peace, and the odds are it will not come in the form of a bottle or through a simple treatment..
