We want to share our sincere thanks to Karina Sturm as she steps down from her role as Editor-in-Chief at Chronic Pain Partners.

Karina’s drive and mission have always been deeply personal, shaped by her own journey with EDS and invisible disability. Since joining us in 2019, Karina has poured her heart and soul into our mission, writing and editing dozens of articles, conducting countless interviews, and producing award-winning films about EDS and disability. Whether reporting on new research or telling patient stories like the wonderful “Lego Oma,” Karina always brought a rare level of compassion and commitment to her work. She also helped launch our first bi-monthly newsletter in 2021, which now reaches over 15,000 subscribers.

Karina, thank you for everything you’ve done for Chronic Pain Partners. We wish you all the best and can’t wait to see what you do next!
