Drag Race icon Yvie Oddly reflects on ‘deteriorating body’ and living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Drag Race legend Yvie Oddly has opened up about their deeply personal journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) after her emotional performance in the All Stars 7 semi-final.

After World of Wonder shared a clip of Friday’s (22 July) vibrant talent show performance, Yvie tweeted her reflections of living with the disorder that affects her connective tissue.

“I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out to me about this week’s episode, because in all honesty it was pretty painful to watch,” she wrote.

“The longer I live with Ehlers-Danlos, the more rapidly I can feel my body deteriorating, so to see that reflected back on screen so clearly (to me) has taken some great reconciliation with the inevitable.”
