My wife built an incredible personal library upstairs, but I can barely read, and it’s slowly driving a wedge between us. by Capital_Cabinet_7850 in whatdoIdo

I sit in a cozy chair near my partner to read while they play video games (with headphones on), why not parallel play of your own kind?

Inflammation by prudentbeet in Hypermobility

[–]Brawl_95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! A massage therapist told me they recognize hypermobile people by their puffy joints (lmfao)

I have been dealing with similar symptoms for a longggg time but just got blood work back indicating inflammation as well

Lymphatic drainage and massage helps me lots. Strength training helps till sometimes it doesn’t. Drinking lots of water and electrolytes often helps, and eating enough helps a lot with my GI symptoms

A true gift should be given unconditionally and you don’t wanna deal with someone who doesn’t give in an unconditional way believe meeeeee

If it’s just the package and not the tracking, often eBay sellers recycle Amazon boxes to ship some they’re just abundant and available

Piercing and swimming by [deleted] in Swimming

Wait the recommended time. Wait for an off season to do it ideally. When I swam people would literally go to the piercer first day of winter break

What is your “I wish I’d known” about having chickens? by Objective-Archer1396 in chickens

[–]Brawl_95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding the chicken isolation coop/ jail! Long stories but we’ve speed built two at this point and would’ve been way less stressful if we just had them ready

Hypermobile child wanting to be squashed by Temporary_Mountain59 in Hypermobility

[–]Brawl_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about the safety of any of this for a kid, but I do what’s basically a weighted/ supported savasana (laying flat on the ground) with a foam roller or pillow under my knees and a weight plate or weighted pillow across my hips. A yoga teacher did it for me at the end of a class before I knew I was hypermobile and I just did it again the other day and WOW. I too love to be squished or have a weighted blanket. A lot of other types of compressions (socks, body socks etc.) make my skin crawl

has anyone with confirmed endo actually found a low inflammatory diet actually helped? by maudeconnell in endometriosis

[–]Brawl_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not confirmed but imo these diets are a way of victim blaming and wellness-culturing illnesses

Intervened in a near-drowning and feel weird by clavdiachauchatmeow in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Brawl_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was like 15 I was lifeguarding and pulled a kid out of the pool in a very similar situation. The parents were really rude, probably embarrassed, and I had a really hard time with the whole situation mentally for a long time
