Just diagnosed this year after 39 years of saying I was hurting and no one listened. Just started looking for a wheelchair after years of just a transporter chair. Thanks for the video.
At 20:30 when you put your hip back in, mine do that too!! It freaks people out- more of a "thunk" than a "snap"!! I don't think I've ever seen someone put it in similar to mine!! Also, your haircut is so super cute💕💕💕
Picked up my chair 2 days ago. It’s an older one but it was a fabulous price! Going to decorate it a little too...
You are so sweet and positive! I have been in a chair for 11YRS. And love your chair thanks you for shairing!
YAY! so happy for you! I’m an EDSer who is considering a wheelchair so this was beyond helpful.

You are so inspirational. You're not letting anything get you down - kudos to you! Your wheelchair looks amazing. I purchased a folding wheelchair for my partner as she's waiting for knee replacement surgery and having extreme difficulty walking due to lots of pain. I noticed your chair has about 3 degrees of negative camber on the rear wheels and as my chair doesn't have any option for camber adjustment, it was a case of wheelchair - research - workshop - tools - equipment all put together and finished result now is her chair has 6 degrees of negative camber. Looks really good and more importantly more stable for sloping surfaces. After a lot of reseach it didn't take long for me to realise that rigid frames are definitely the way to go full stop! Thank you for your inspiration.
Super cute! Woot woot! I love the color! 💕

It's great that insurance covered that! It always baffles me some of the things insurance fights about. A few years ago I was told that they wouldn't cover anymore physical therapy until I hurt myself again!

Thank you for your wheelchair info cuz i'm in the process...
I may have EDS (seeing a Rheumatologist in March (hopefully)) and I at least have joint problems that are getting progressively worse and I really loved this video, it was highly informative, thank you!
Omg, finally someone else who understands pots!
This is the first video I ever saw of you. I was immensely impressed by the way you relocated your own hip and stayed:) seems so long ago now. I hope you're well!
I wish you every happiness with your chair, well for four years, eleven months, and three and a half weeks (!), ...and then definitely get another new one :) I loved my custom chair, but every time it broke, nnnooooooo!!! Now I have a new chair I keep the old one for a spare, but I also use it if I’m going out in the rain, getting filthy going somewhere grassy or muddy and when it’s cold outside so I can transfer into a warm chair when I get home :) Also, I like what you said about testing a chair first, my thumbs kept getting dislocated by being trapped between the push rim and the wheel, now I have it so there isn’t enough room for them to go between - it was painful working it out though! I have push rims called ‘surge’ that have a bead of rubber around them and are a flatter shape, they make a massive difference with pushing and stopping, especially when it’s wet out as my grip is rubbish. Billie from UK (...also with EDS!)
I have the same smart drive on my TiLite ZRA wheelchair, and it is great!, Thank you for this video. Also with the smart drive you can turn side to side, you can't even feel the smart drive on the back. It rolls sideways super easy!
Currently watching this. Part time wheelchair user myself, and it's so, so nice hearing in voice that I'm not alone there. Found your channel as it was recommended. I'd love a custom myself, and am so wondering about the process. Plus, I'm afraid to bring it up to my doctor (and don't want to spend the money if I don't need it long term - though it's not like I can get better with EDS). So thank you for this! Subscribing.

Don't know if you're still wondering, but if so, Chronically Jaquie here on youtube has a playlist detailing the entire process of getting hers.
Been using a wheelchair for 18 years, I'm 37 now. Excellent video.
Smart drive seems kind of like best of both worlds and amazing for dealing with hills.
You inspire me bc you are amazing in so many ways and also different witch makes you so cool and inspiring
Me again - so this smart drive thing, I've been hearing a lot about them and I think it would help me gain a lot of independence, however one of the things I notice when I am navigating through crowds is that I am constantly making slight adjustments to speed. It's kind of the same when you drive a car, I have hand controls, so having cruise control is a really useful feature, but I do notice when I set it at the speed limit for a road there are often moments when I think I'm too fast, but they pass quickly, it's adaptive cruise control so if there were a vehicle in front of me it would slow down, but the smart drive sounds like cruise control without the adaptive bit.
Totally off subject, but your puppy is so cute!
I have a purple scooter. Beautiful chair xxx
Thank you so much for making this video and explaining everything so thoroughly! I know videos are a lot of effort, but I really enjoyed it! I'm a fellow EDSer, POTS, and myriad-of-other-issues girl, though I have a secondhand wheelchair that I absolutely love, I'm always on the lookout for elements I want to have on a custom chair should I ever get one. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and explain your lovely wheelchair!
Awesome chair and thanks!
Hi there! This is such a good video and awesome wheelchair. Two questions: can you have adjustable handles added to the chair so that someone else can push if needed? (That was my main question). Given its a rigid frame, how does it fit into a car even if though the wheels and smart drive are detachable? If I like yours so much better then the line I'm approved for and trying to get altered. I look forward to listening to more of your vlogs!
I’ve been through the colour ranges of chairs pink, purple, blue, red, bronze, grey and black. Used to like bright colours but now opt for black because it goes with everything including my black car.

I live in Minnesota as well and I'm just getting started in the process of getting fir for a wheelchair. I'm really excited because I think it will help a lot! I'm curious about what you do in winter with snow. I've scoured KZread for more information about that and I haven't found much if any. Do you have any advice with Minnesota winters (specifically snow)?
I'm just starting this process myself. I'm a Zebra, but my joints aren't as hypermobile as most EDS'ers. I just subluxate, not dislocate. I'm 45 and finally to the point where I need a wheelchair part time. I have the Rx but waiting for the initial eval. I'm guessing mine will take 6 months easily because I'm on Medicare AND Medicaid. Thanks for this video!
Great choice of chair!
Great video!
THANK YOU for making this video! I need a custom wheelchair and didn't even know where to begin. I have a prescription from my dr but it just says "wheelchair". What does it need to say on it to get a custom one?? I have Syringomyelia which causes cysts (called Syrinxes) to form inside of my spinal cord. My Syrinx is located in T-8 through T-12. Because Syrinxes can cause paralysis if certain nerves are damaged I'm not allowed to lift, push or pull anything over 8lbs. So I definitely need a super light weight wheelchair but also need something like a smartdrive as well.
This girl is amazing!
This helps me so much!! Yesterday I started my process to make my own weelchair for my EDS hypermobility. May I ask you how old you are? Thank you for the information about the weelchair aspects!
Awesome chair! I only have an old wheelchair from ebay, and my doc onl prescribed me a walker. I am not able to go far with m rollator and I often fall. I can´t self propell my heavy chair and live alone. I got EDS diagnosis confirmed, but no doctor willing to prescribe me atleast such a push helper for my chair that you have. I live in Germany where health care is suppost to be good lol I will go on and fight for my freedom! And every zebra I meet online motivates me. You, too! Oh and I love the color!! :-)

yes!!! My diagnoses aren´t even on the list of the health insurance, just problems with agencies, as joint impairement and walking impairement got meassured by how stiff the joints are, EDSer are screwed lol even tho they come home and evaluate you and see you fall and struggle and hearing you popping and cracking, it is not listed on paper. By now 3 months later than my first comment I got diagnosed with POTS and I´m falling even more, even at doc appointments the scrap me off the floor. Hurts my knees and my hips sublux. My ebay chair broke and no money to fix it. All money goes to calling taxis and I´m down to one meal per day to afford this.. doctor visits. It´s bizzaro world for rare disease patients. I´m so so glad you got yourself a power chair after saving. I got a neck brace by now and compression socks and an event recorder implanted, yet I lack mobility. and more and more lacking will to live tbh planning on showing this video her to my orthopaedic- I need those aides

I have hypermobility and I spent over a year of my life in a wheelchair and I can tell from the pain and dislocated kness that I will be back in one again soon. I can sprain my ankles just by walking short distances.. plus my knees go backwards all the time.
Your chair is amazing, in the UK.you either have an NHS chair or you have to fund your own chair which costs thousands of £s. My NHS one is heavy, cumbersome and restricts movement, especially in the top part of my body. I constantly have bruising on my arms from pushing and on my legs from transferring from chair to bed where the break catches my leg. I suppose I should be great full but when I see your chair I can’t help but be envious.

Awesome video. So very helpful. My daughter has EDS and is entering the wheelchair zone. Did insurance cover the cost of the upgraded wheels, and the smart drive? (I know we likely have different insurance, and obviously different bodies. Just curious your experience.)
Thank you so much for sharing! I've needed a chair for awhile now, for part time, I fall and dislocate so often, I live alone, and there's so many times I want to do something out of the house, or even in the house, but the dislocations and I have TBI (traumatic brain injury) and some type of autonomic dysfunction (and eds hypermobile ;))... But I've gotten a chair on craigslist, but it's not helpful because I dislocate my shoulders loading it in the car, and my current place is very much not accessible, at all, lol... I can't wait until I can move to a one level place and somewhere that I can use a chair inside when I need to, cause right now it's just... I never thought I would get so overwhelmed by pain but it's... Really rough right now. Did your doctors worry that you having a chair would make you less active? (that tends to be what my doctors have been thinking... I'm overweight, though I've ALWAYS had chronic pain and dislocations, the weight came after medical issues and being put on a ton of different meds that didn't help, but I gained weight, and I have tried to lose it, but it's hard when anything I do makes me feel like passing out, and honestly I still do a bunch of things... I've ended up with 4 rescue dogs (long story lol, but I'm glad to have them, but even on my worst days I'll have to crawl on the floor to let them out and feed them, etc, so I'm honestly not lazy... People tend to assume that, but I really... I try my best) Anyways, sorry I ramble, thank you so much for sharing this information about your chair as well as how you went about getting it... I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to get a chair like yours, I've even looked at trying to build a lighter chair with pvc pipe or something, so I could have something better than the big standard ones people get from hospitals etc (and I got off Craigslist haha)... Also, I love the brakes, they look effective and also like they wouldn't cause dislocation if I use my fingers (I'm grateful for my fingers generally being stable, my thumbs have decided they are pretty much... Not stable anymore lol... But at least I've got 4 fingers per hand that are currently pretty stable, so I can kinda use my fingers to do things rather than my thumbs, even if it's a bit different, it works, haha! But those brakes look like they would be easy to engage and release without too much pain! It BAFFLES ME that you don't find the hip dislocations agonizing.. I remember when I was a little kid, I now realize that my hips were at least subluxating regularly, as were my knees... Shoulders have been messed up consistently and most significantly for, idk, forever lol... But shoulder dislocations definately hurt me, depending on how much I've been conditioning them and keeping them in shape it was painful but still quite tolerable, I still could do dance (color guard), it was bad still when I didn't warm them up enough and condition them before getting into things... I actually didn't realize until I was 21 or so that my "bad shoulders" (right one is worst) were bad because they were dislocating regularly haha... I didn't realize everyone didn't have pain all the time, lol... And it kinda made sense in retrospect that it grossed out a fair amount of people when I would "crack" my shoulders... I guess it did look and sound kinda gross since I realize now that was actually me reseting my shoulder, which is why it moved so much when it popped into place and I felt so compelled to do it so it would feel better! Maybe it's just because I'm older (I'm 29 and I feel... So so so old, like... I used to have so much energy, and now it's hard emotionally to accept my limitations, or as I often do, I don't adjust my expectations of myself and end up collapsing and feeling AWFUL and getting upset that I couldn't do everything I wanted to get done, and just being beyond exhuasted and in pain/nauseous/lightheaded/vision and hearing issues/head pounding/migraine, etc... And then I just lay there and think about how I can't spend my life like this, I have to find more solutions, so I give myself a bit to be upset and then think about what I can do to improve things and keep moving forward. I accept chronic pain - it's only when it's beyond overwhelming and hard to stay conscious that I get to a point of feeling really overwhelmed. The pain management specialist just said to take Ibeproffen, 800mg, lol... Which a) doesn't put a dent in pain when it's at that point and b) that stuff DESTROYS my stomach lol... It's horrible on anyone's stomach, lol! So... Meh. And the doc dislocated my thumb and made me do all these things to prove the Brighton scale, which I really didn't want to do cause it makes those things worse, but he... I wanted to prove myself to him so maybe he would help, ya know? I just ended up in a ton MORE pain, feeling like it didn't matter, and the guy just said to exercise more... I WANT TO BE ACTIVE! I LOVE BEING ACTIVE! if I had a wheelchair I would be more active because, as you said, you're able to be more independent with the tools it gives you! I fall so often, and I have no bail out if I can't function, and I have to climb a flight of stairs to get to the bathroom and sometimes I'll hold it so long ill have an accident because my hip dislocation is constant, sharp, intense, pain. It happened over a year ago and never got better... The er told me to use crutches and stay off the hip for a week, and thought my concerns about my shoulders and the crutches were nuts lol (the nurse was like, "when people come in with a shoulder dislocation, we have to sedate them to reset it... They don't just put it back in themselves...." Lol... So I tried using the crutches, within 24 hours I had dislocated both shoulders and both thumbs (which hasn't been dislocating before then, but as you or someone said, once something dislocates in us zebras, it pretty much keeps doing so) so I figured I would have to just walk on my hip cause it was better to have one dislocation than 5, and my PCP said she didn't "believe in narcotics" which I know they have issues, but good golly, she didn't even think it was worth trying to get insurance to cover a wheelchair, lol... So I got one on craigslist at least, the way my place is laid out, I can't use it in the house though, there's no space... The x ray showed my hip was fine, but it's been severe pain since then, and I have full range of motion so I was told to just keep doing the things pt told me to do, honestly though it feels like there's something wrong, and it's not like I'm not familiar with dislocations lol... I feel like someone would listen, but... I'm totally just not focused and rambling, and I am just hopeful from seeing your video... I really am a happy person most the time, and pain hasn't taken that away from me, but it's just at a point where it's just ridiculous to me that doctors would expect me to just deal with it. I'm surprised though that you don't seem to have anything near the intensity of pain I do, though... I guess part of it is that no two zebras have the same stripes... You just handle so many dislocations so calmly, and I know it must still hurt you... I don't know. I've always thought I had a high pain tolerance, but maybe I'm a wuss? Lol. :-/

I wouldn’t be able to offer advice necessarily as I haven’t been in that situation, but sometimes all the person wants is for someone to care.

Youde HAVE TO! 😁
I'm a little surprised you don't have tension adjustable straps in the seat (you can also have them in the back if you have a more basic back). I have similar hip problems to you and as you can see in the other comment I didn't have the best help in getting a suitable wheelchair, however the tension adjustable straps are the most amazing thing I have come across. I am heavier than you so more roundness over my bottom, it means I can have the back one slightly looser and it still fits and supports everything,
Is there any particular shape or type of backpack or backpack straps which you find easier or harder for carrying on your chair when hooked up or when you need to connect/be disconnected while on the go? Bearing in mind I'd have arm rests. I currently have a different chair with a standard back & handles so I can see what fits on that but I need a different chair and I think I'd go for the rogue and a 3rd party solid back. I'd probably pick an Acta over a Matrx but it'd be more similar to what you have than what I currently have.
hi!! you mentioned that you have hip dysplasia. i have it too and i have a few questions. when were you diagnosed and how long did it take you to start showing signs? and what did you do when you were first diagnosed treatment wise? i have just been diagnosed a few months ago and i am still trying to figure out what to do about it.
Is there a way for removable handles to be put on the back of your chair so someone could push you if necessary?
@Boredchinchilla

You can get a wheelchair with fold down handles (mine has that), which is a nice feature. I usually keep mine up anyway, since I get tired trying to push myself, but being able to fold them down so that strangers don’t push you is a good thing. And they will- I have had strangers push my chair out of the way like I was furniture, or rest their hands (or even feet-eww) on my chair. A wheelchair is an extension of the disabled person’s body-If you wouldn’t touch a person that way, don’t touch the wheelchair that way, and if you need the person in the wheelchair to move, please just ASK (the same way you would with someone not in a chair)

I'm in the UK and my chair I bought of a selling sites as I'm finding it hard to get from the NHS, unfortunately that means it isnt as lightweight as I would like and it puts more stress on my shoulders, I need to get one better suited for me but I'll have to pay for it myself unless someone listens properly and I can get a voucher to go towards what I'm after

Thank you for sharing. I need one of those. That way my husband won’t have to push me in my wheelchair. I’m home a lot because I don’t want to depend on anyone. And I’m unable to walk. If I use crutches in public I’ll fall if someone bumps me.
I have mixed connective tissue disorder but instead of dislocating joints i have arthritis in the joints. You must be in so much pain everyday and i wanted to say that your not alone.
Hello. I hope that you are on the mend now. I fell and broke my right hip in 2014.

-I have a Jay/J3 Turbo 6 power chair in Purple. I too was concerned about having a color. Mostly because of my age...I'm in my 60's. Shouldn't I get a black, gray, dark blue or dark green?

I wish I would have known about it when I was getting my new power chair.

I find it amazing that insurance covers a chair that you use just 50% of the time. I'm in England and whilst the NHS will provide you with a wheelchair if you can walk at all the options they limit you to are ridiculous, they also came down with a pronouncement that I shouldn't self propel (I also have EDS), which wasn't founded on any medical evidence. Fortunately if you don't like what they have to offer, they will give you a voucher for the money they would have spent on it and you can take that to a wheelchair shop and buy what you want - but of course you are dealing with sales people not trained PTs or OTs. My salesperson was very very good but he had never heard of EDS, so there was no disease specific considerations. Unfortunately the chair cost 4 times as much as the voucher I was given and luckily we were able to pay a lot of people can't. I use my chair 100% of the time out of the house and a significant percentage of time in the house, so it's not like I don't need it!

If I get a wheelchair (I think I may get one because I fall a lot due to dizziness which me and my mom think is from pots and gastroparesis) I would probably have one like yours.
I hope you are okey. Nace More videos I like them alot
were your side guards covered by insurance? I had to pay separately for mine but if yours were covered I wonder what criteria they used to cover it.. Thanks.

What is the total weight of your chair without the smart drive?
I hope you don’t mind me asking, I lived in the states for a while but am British. How does the medical system work for you. I assume at the moment you are on your parents medical insurance. What happens when you turn 18 or have to get your own insurance. Will you be discriminated against because of your pre existing EDS? I am hoping to upgrade to a better wheel chair soon so thankyou for this review.
