OHMYGOSSIP — Jameela Jamil has opened up about her battle with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
The 36-year-old actress has shared a video of herself on Instagram showing her pulling her cheeks to show how much her skin stretches and she explained to her followers it’s due to a rare disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue.
In the clip, she said: “Hi look at this, Jesus Christ, this is not an app or filter. It’s my face, look at how elastic that is. The reason it’s so elastic is because I have EDS, I have HEDS three, the H because I’m so hyper mobile.”
Jameela went on to explain how the condition affects her – revealing she has trouble with her joints, bruises more easily and it even affects bleeding and healing.
She added: “The joints, nothing bends the right way, everything bends the wrong way. I want to talk about it despite the fact people like to make fun of me because of my health.
“It’s a serious condition and affects every part of your body and your mind and it’s a dangerous thing to have if you don’t know you have it.
“The way it affects bruising, bleeding, healing, if you want to have a baby … I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs.”
The ‘ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ star went on to encourage anyone suffering similar symptoms to go to a doctor. She went on: “I’m worried at the fact I’m disadvantaged with my health, it means you dislocate, your teeth are harder to work on, your struggles with migraines, random allergies.’
“I’m not a doctor but that’s why I want you to go to a doctor … if you’re struggling with your joints and accidents all the time, please look at the symptoms.
“It really can save your life. The people who have it really look well. I love you, I’m with you, go get checked!”
