Let's talk about FOP. FOP is known as Fibrodysplasia Esophagens Progressiva, which is a very rare genetic connective tissue disorder characterized by the abnormal development of bones in area of the bodies which bones is not normally present, such as the ligaments, tendons, and skeletal muscles, which are gradually turned to bone over time. Patients that have FOP have these symptoms. Episodes of muscle swelling and inflammation, difficulty speaking and eating as mouth has become affected, and malformed big toes present at birth. And this helps distinguish FOP from other conditions. Their bodies become very stiff from bone formation and aren't mobile, like able to walk or move around over time. I wanted to share this link with you because FOP is so rare that not many have. And to hear the stories of those who do and how they adapt to the situation and not allow this to control their life or define them in any way is purely amazing.
