Hermes who is from United Kingdom is among the few in the world with a rare disease know as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)

What kind of disease is this?

Well, its a very rare syndrome which causes gastroparesis. This simply signifies that,whatever she eats stays in her stomach and never digests. It never ever reaches the small intestine.

Hermes who is 25 years old now, discovered she she had an unbearable pain in her stomach when she clocked 18. She was rushed to the hospital and later advised to change her diet.

It was not until later, when the pain persisted she was diagnosed of the disease.

Presently, she survives on nutrients in liquid form ingested into her via a tube which is attached to her stomach in order to directly supply the bloodstream.
