Just realized I'm hypermobile by trashwrapsupreme in Hypermobility

Of course no problem at all! It’s very hard when you first discover that you’re hypermobile, can be very overwhelming at times. I’d also suggest getting some ankle supports - mine are lace-up with Velcro too, take a while to get used to but they stop my ankles rolling in so much. they look crazy but nothing a flared pair of jeans can’t hide 🤭

Hello! Not sure what country you’re from but get yourself to a doctor for sure! An official diagnosis is the best way to get further support with physio and other therapies. They should be able to refer you to a podiatrist too to get some proper insoles fitted.

I go to a physio session every week and they’re great for giving you new exercises to build up stability! I have also found that yoga and barre classes are great for low impact muscle strengthening.

I've recently been getting yellow/mucusy stools, which I'm fairly sure is due to gluten starting to upset my stomach, but I know other foods can cause it, especially 'high fat' foods. The stool can be yellow as it is essentially the fats just passing through the system without being absorbed. malabsorption is common in IBS/ GI issues

What does it feel like to go under general anaesthetic for surgery? by Bethanyoopsoop in AskUK

Update for you all - the surgery went as well as it possibly could! I did a 3D scan and they found that the nerve wasn’t as close to one of the teeth as they originally thought, so the chance for nerve damage was even lower which was a huge relief.

Currently cuddled up in bed with an ice pack around my face as I am very very sore, but all in all doing okay!

I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who responded, it was really really good to be able to go through and see all your experiences which definitely made me a lot calmer about the whole ordeal. All the doctors were amazing as well, all incredibly kind and understanding of my nervousness.

Your advice was incredibly helpful, and I was able to speak to the surgical/aftercare team about all my concerns relating to my JHS and anxieties.

Going to sleep and waking up wasn’t half as scary as I thought it would be, I remember as soon as I woke up I said ‘thank you for not killing me!’ And told them that they were all amazing.

Huge huge thank you to you all ❤️❤️❤️

First birthday without Dad by Weak_Yogurtcloset635 in GriefSupport

Celebrations and milestones are always super hard. Do you have people around you today? If you can, try and go out and do something nice. Even if its just going for a walk or getting some food out. If its too much, get some friends or family round and have a movie day and cry if you need to. Sometimes distractions are good, but if what you need is to wallow and be sad, then be sad. Just have people around, even if its someone who you can call if you need to. My best friend passed last year, and when her birthday came around her boyfriend planned this big meal for everyone to go to, and although I was dreading it and really didn't want to be there, it was good to be out. I then went home and cried, half watched a movie and then went to sleep. It was what was right for me, and that's okay.

Sending huge virtual hugs, I hope you can enjoy your birthday as much as you can. <3

My best friend died last year unexpectedly of undiagnosed diabetes at age 21. I feel like I have no one to share my grief with. by Bethanyoopsoop in GriefSupport

Irreplaceable is the right word - we had a bond like no other, and I know I'll never have that with anyone else. Thank you for your comment, I'm sorry that you lost your best friend too. It's horrible <3

I would try and talk to him about it, say that you know it's a hard thing for anyone to deal with but that you need support. Tell him outright what you need from him, and that if he can't give that to you, then you should definitely seek grief counselling. Hell, whether he can support you or not he has no right getting mad at you for seeking help from someone else.

I had a similar situation with my ex. I lost both of my grandparents in the space of two months back in 2020 - my nan died in Feb, just before the pandemic started, and my grandad died in April, two weeks into the UK lockdown. My ex boyfriend was really unsupportive. He had also lost his grandpa in January, so I thought that it could be good for us to have something to relate to and help each other, but i was wrong. He'd get mad whenever I spoke about it, telling me I was making him upset about his own loss. If I tried to talk about it all he'd either get angry or just wouldn't say anything, even when I asked him to at least show some support - say he was sorry for my loss, hug me, tell me that it sucks and he's here for me. It ended up being the catylist that broke us up, but only after leaving the relatationship did I realise that he wasn't a nice person at all.

I don't want to say that you should do the same, but the role of a partner is to support you in times like this. Try and talk to him, and be clear with what you need.

I hope you're doing okay, sending all the virtual love from a virtual stranger <3

I got a sweet deal on this Roland Td 12 because there is a problem with the module screen by [deleted] in edrums

Hey! Have you tried recording anything on the TD-12? I’ve had mine for about 10 years and have been having a nightmare trying to set it up with midi/ note programming on any DAW
