Millie Hardiman on her post surgery recovery

Millie Hardiman was told she had anorexia — but she actually had a rare condition that made eating extremely painful.

However, the 22 year old says she was put in a mental health hospital and force-fed for two months due to the health system’s refusal to listen.

She underwent life-saving surgery in Europe earlier this year for Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS), a connective tissue disorder affecting every part of her body and causing dangerous abdominal vascular compressions.
