My eb has taken my hair but not my spirit - born different

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
34-YEAR-OLD Assya, from Birmingham, was born with a severe form of the ultra rare disease Epidermolysis Bullosa. Diagnosed with her condition at birth, Assya was only given 24 hours to live but has defied the odds and doesn't let the EB affect her positivity. Due to her condition, Assya lives with painful blisters all throughout her body, both externally and internally. She has to dress her blisters each morning, and on the worst days it can take up to seven hours to fully bandage herself. Though she experiences pain throughout her entire body, the worst-affected area is her head, where she's lost all of her hair. Assya told Truly: I started losing my hair when I was about 11, 12, and then by the time I turned 16 I was completely bald - it was really hard. With over 15, 000 TikTok

You are beautiful with and without the wig and inside and out and who thinks otherwise doesn't matter. You're strong for posting for your story and trying to connect with everyone and remind people we're beautiful regardless of what we think we might be wrong and we're all beautiful regardless of our circumstance. So thank you for that.

U gotta be strong willed and hearted and have lots of patience just to dedicate 5-6-7 hours to just putting on the dressings / etc. She has what most of us with - regular - life-s could only wish or dream of b/c we never been there and take for granted what we do have

Sometimes I wonder. I can relate to being different because I have a huge scar but I dont think a lot of people truly understand. I think they watch because they pity you and it makes them feel better about their miserable lives.

I wish her pain could be improved & her to have a streamlined way to dress her wounds that gave her more time back into her day. But mostly she-s raising awareness which could help toward a cure. Amazing!

No way! I have the exact same duvet set! :0 Assya, you are beautiful, hair or no hair, inside and out. Beauty is not with a girls hair, but with her spirit. Keep striving to be you, Assya, you-re doing amazing! -

You look beautiful! I really like how your skin looks regularly. It-s so beautiful and unique. I-d love to see a makeup look on you that doesn-t cover that up! Any look you do always looks great!

So weird that she's got a ton of followers on TikTok and the beautiful girls have a ton of followers on TikTok and most of the average women in between have next to none. TikTok is such a circus.

This is really vile I wish they wouldn't show this anymore.
Oh this? Oh no, Assya is so lovely. I'm talking about the FREAKING SUGAR BABY videos, truly feels the need to blast us with.

This was the first condition I learned about via documentaries, it seems so difficult to live with but everyone I-ve seen who deals with this is so strong and resilient.

People complain about the smallest things, and this woman didn't complain once here, She doesn't feel sorry for herself,
