‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Star Yvie Oddly Opens Up About Ehler-Danlos Syndrome

Likewise, the most common symptoms of Ehler-Danlos syndrome are joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. In a recent interview with Out, Yvie admitted that she never wanted to bring up her disease on the show.

“I really badly didn’t want to bring up my disease,” she admitted. “Maybe it’s just because I’m hyper competitive but I didn’t want to make it clear that I had any sort of weakness holding me back. Drag in general is a lot of pain, a lot of sweat, blood, and tears and I didn’t feel like bringing it up would paint me in a good way with my sisters.”
