Gish: One of my very first EDS comics! I woke up feeling like my bones had wrestled over who belonged where, and wanted to put the feeling down. Comic making was always a dream of mine, but I hadn't quite found something to make a comic about, yet. This was the beginning of a big part of my life.
Gish has a disability called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes the body to have faulty collagen (which is EVERYWHERE. Gish's joints and digestive system are majorly affected causing widespread pain.), along with a handful of the rare conditions that go along with it; these include but are not limited to P.O.T.S. and Interstitial Cystitis. With the help of Sizlak, they approach this horrible combination of genetic diseases with a little humor in doodle format.
