Behind Diagnoses: Patients - E6: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome ft. Kaitlin Kerr
On this episode of "Behind Diagnoses: Patients", a Peer Med Podcast special series we hear from Kaitlin Kerr, a disabled artist and advocate. She holds degrees in English Literature, Nursing, and Nursing leadership (MSN, RN). She had to leave the profession after her disabilities progressed several years ago. Kaitlin lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s Disease, pudendal neuralgia, Interstitial Cystitis, adenomyosis, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and dysautonomia, among other disabilities. On her better days, Kaitlin focuses on running a Shakespearean theatre company with her partner, Jonathan. She is also a published poet, as well as an actor and model. Kaitlin serves on several committees and teams for organizations working toward more equitable healthcare and disability justice, such as the Outreach & Media Specialist for Faith Above My Ability (a nonprofit that educates, advocates, and creates change surrounding issues of access and equality for people with disabilities so that they can live their most empowered lives),
