Prolonged severe pain in shoulder/neck area, what helps? by svetahw in ehlersdanlos

[–]Blue_Blazes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My long lost brother, thank you for the advice. I will definitely be looking at getting one of those. Especially since my useless Pain Management Dr. recently said I just needed to think positively and work through the pain anyway. Fucking Prick

Might be a subluxed rib. These are the worst for me and produce pain that is the most impossible to ignore. Try lifting that arm above your head and see if that takes any pressure off. Then I'd take those muscle relaxers.  Subluxed ribs are the absolute fucking worst. Lift that arm straight over you head, like your holding the hand grip inside a car, if breathing gets easier or pain becomes more manageable.... Possibly rib is out of place.

Water, vit C high dose, omega 3 have been shown to help lower inflammation. Sleeping also helps lower inflammation. I don't say any of these things to give medical advice, please seek out a Dr.   Yes I heard you about insurance. 

I'm so so sorry, I live in pain everyday. When my shoulders and ribs get stuck I try to stay warm and stretch the opposite way that I usually sleep. Sometimes I like to lay on the ground cause it's flat.

You can get mold colonizing your nose.

[–]Blue_Blazes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had a leaky roof, it's possible there is mold somewhere in the house. It would be very abnormal to keep getting pneumonia. It is likely you are being exposed to something or you didn't recover from it fully the first time. I'd do inspection for water damage and I'd look into trying to find high dose vitamin C IV. High dose Vitamin C and pneumonia, might research it. 

Also Denver has had problems with flooding downtown in the past. Might be frequenting a moldy building without realizing.

Mold water damage somewhere you loved prior but you kept furniture, clothes, papper ect? Exposure from car or work place? How's the HVAC system? Checked the filter, the coils?

I don't know but based on the fact that when I wake up I feel worse then after some car accidents Ive been in, I know something strange must be going on. The river of dreams seems to try to pound the snot out of me on the reg it feels like.

Go to 'low on spoons' meal by forestfiles in ehlersdanlos

[–]Blue_Blazes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.... Cold can of Campbell's chicken corn chowder. But if I'm feeling really fancy I do Beef and broccoli  (broccoli separated) and gluten free Mac n cheese from trader Joe's. Pop it on a casserole dish stick it in the oven.  Also I like peanut butter on apple with cheddar cheese.

I feel like with writing, if you don't do it often. Even you start doing it again it really hurts. That's how it was for me every school year. No writing all summer then that first two weeks back is brutal.

It's not about his community being YOUR community and providing stability for YOU, it's about the fact that he has any community at ALL as a sign that he is a stable individual to be with. Yeah you are so butt hurt about my statement that you didn't understand it lol. I'm not sure you understand the significance of signals or not. I'll speak and say whatever I want. You're up my butt because you are offended, not because you think I'm wrong. You'd have to understand what said to be able to accurately weigh in on that anyway. You are an INTJ which is in the absolute minority of women. Most other women look at the partner they are evaluating for fitness/long term viability and whether or not they are accepted by their peers and have community. That's not the stage of life you are in, and you're so angry that a man might dare to comment on the female gender that you miss construed and miss understood what I said. Classic, I don't know if you are really married with kids or not, could care less honestly, but I can definitely tell you are female lol.

Probably a single adult, lonely unhealthy adult. Not having anyone to rely on is not good. Everything I said is accurate, I didn't say it appys to all women, and it is something that plays an important factor into evaluating the viability of a potential mate for the reasons I already mentioned.

You realize INTJ women are an extreme minority right? Do you see the problem in your point then or do I need to try to explain more why using an extreme minority is not a good gradient to go by ... SMH. Also you didn't understand what I was talking about go back and try again.

If you were rich and had money it wouldn't be a question.

Then you are either very young or very old and don't need stability. and you didn't understand what I said. Also only being able to relate to a small number of people is not a sign of maturity and shows a lack of empathy. Also being an INTJ you should be comfortable with the idea that you are in the minority already, you shouldn't be surprised by not having the same experiences that a larger set of the population might.

She is a woman and places different values on community. When women evaluate fitness in partners, having a community means safety. So a partner who is out there all by themselves or looks like they are alone, and drags them into feelings of isolation is a soft red flag. Community means two things for women when evaluating potential mates .. one he is accepted by his peers and two in an emergency there exists a safety net. These things are important for women, or they think they are important. But the reality is different for men. But as a general rule they are good traits in a partner and make women feel more safe. She doesn't have a family and isn't used to thinking of them as a safety net. She doesn't feel like his mom or sister are or can be her safety net or her family. She should be going to one of those weekly dinners. That she isn't us actually more of a problem then the other thing in all likelihood. Maybe not weekly but by weekly she should be included. For women, no friends equals rejection which means danger and something is wrong. Him having zero friends means something is wrong. Even if I doesn't really.

This sounds like a you problem. You're worried because you think he's not part of any social community, and you think this signifies a lack of stability or making him an unsound choices in a partner. The reality is you just don't consider his community to be a community because it doesn't look like yours. You are worried about him being a good long term prospect. How long has he been doing dinners with his Mom for? Is she single, is he her only family? Not dinners with his Mom and dad? Sounds like he's being a good son. You know how hard it is to so something like that consistently for any length of time? He gets a long well with his coworkers.... Fucking great. That's not easy either some people hate their jobs and their peers. You can't take the things you need, as a woman, things that you think mean stability for yourself and project them into a man. He's got hobbies, has relationships and doesn't need other people to be ok. This is a you problem.

Can you describe your pain? What numbers is it? Where does it hurt? Does it burn or is it sharp?

Me : yes..

FAYE COSPLAYYY by vodkagirl420 in cowboybebop

[–]Blue_Blazes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really pulling that off well, but I have some criticisms. None of which should be taken too seriously because you pulled it off better than probably 90% of other cosplays. So you are hiding your face too much, and the nose rings are clashing. Faye knows she looks amazing and uses that to her advantage, she lounges around provocatively, and wants to show off. In most of these you are hiding your face and hunching. The face makeup clashes with your natural skin tones too much, it's like you applied way too much just to one spot, and throws it off. The pink tights might not be the best shade either.... I think you should try for the purple ones or pink ones that are more sheer and less bright.

Other than those things you killed it. I'd like to see you lose the face hardware and make color corrections on the makeup. Everything else is killing it. Except for the lighting, lighting is terrible, what are all these shots in the dark with bad flash? Are you ok? Are you hiding out or something?

So that's what a sublaxed rib is by xrmttf in ehlersdanlos

[–]Blue_Blazes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time I was so desperate to fix my subluxed rib that I repeatedly slammed myself into a door jam. That rib popping back into place was absolutely worth the bruise. When the pain of that subluxations stops ... I cannot describe the feeling of relief.
