Anyone else disabled?

Hello. I have had this app for about a year and this is my first post ever. I have a disability called ehlers danlos syndrome type 3. It's a connective tissue disorder that affects the entire body..for me it's mostly joint dislocations, so I can't walk very well or move easily.
I am a former anorexic but I'm not like that anymore. Now it's like I'm addicted to food. Last year I started off at 136 and I now am 126. I can't exercise because of how many times I dislocate my joints. I'm a short lady so people often ask me if it pregnant, or ask "how far along am I" or if I'm having a boy or girl. So I want to loose more weight so strangers can stop asking if I'm pregnant...and so I can actually feel god about myself. I binge eat a few times a week, and I have trouble eating more than 1 meal a day...I just don't feel hungry, and if I force myself I feel physically ill and it usually ends up in vomit...it's like painful. I also have several bowel and stomach issues that make me slow to digest..and sometimes my stomach doesn't digest at all and old rotten food just comes right back up.
I came here hoping I wasn't alone with my physical issues, and hoping to get some sort of advice. I have seen medical professionals and there is nothing they can do to fix my digestion.
