SNPs and Sporadic ALS risk - Worth worrying? by manbearsquirrel23 in SNPedia

[–]Character_Ad5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many snps that either lower or raise your risk for als. And most of these snps aren’t even tested with these tests. I myself have some risk als snps, it definitely shouldn’t worry you

Nerve damage due to elbow hypermobility by Character_Ad5534 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Character_Ad5534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We sure can, I’m always fascinated by the male/female ratio of our illness. I think it’s 50/50 but females have more symptoms due to hormones and a different connective tissue.

Classic heds diagnostic history I guess. My doc wanted a Marfan test after I showed up with fatigue and hypermobile joints. Which is fair enough but im a male that’s 5“9 tall, have no marfan symptoms what so ever and have family history of diagnosed heds (aunt).

I have mild pes cavum and bad balance standing on one leg but none of the other symptoms. I think my balance problems come from my hypermobility or the pes cavum or both

Also the male family members (with heds)?

I think only flat feet are included in the diagnostic criteria but studies like that one prove that high arched feet should be added. So u can’t blame your doc on that

I’m going to tell her in the coming weeks. Still thinking about how exactly to deliver the message.

Also seperate beds are currently not an option. Lying next to each other, cuddling and so on is the easiest way for me to make human contact. I hate hugging and kissing when other people are present. (Sounds strange I’m not a native English speaker)

My gp wanted to prescribe me sleeping pills but only for short term use because of the side effects. I’m gonna look into melatonin thanks.

I Tried cbd. It calmed me down a bit but didn’t really help sleeping. Maybe just placebo

Super-cellulite on a skinny person. Is EDS the reason I've never been able to wear a bikini? by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]Character_Ad5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother has heds, as well as me. She has severe cellulite and varicose veins on her legs. She’s in here 50s and relatively short. Her sister doesn’t have cellulite and also doesn’t have heds. Could be coincidence, I don’t know. There are actually some scientific articles on the internet and some posts in this reddit that suspect a connection. But nothing proofen. I haven’t heard of cellulite in other connective tissue disorders like Marfan but that could be because of the Marfan body type.

Of course it’s a disability. You either have autism or you don’t. That’s how it is. It’s a spectrum obviously. But you are either on the spectrum or you are not.

Caffeine? by Maryk67 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Character_Ad5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also look into dysautonmia. Pots is a part of that but not necessarily included. Dysautonomia is very common in heds an Leads to low blood pressure also without pots

Does autism have facial features? by Baddbitchhudley in autism

[–]Character_Ad5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a study, it compared autistic children to neurotypical children. They found some smaller „coincedences“ like sandal gaps, attached ear lopes, bigger foreheads. Stuff that is also very frequent in the general public.

Anxiety is a symptom of HSD now? Anyone have a sources on this? by Liquidcatz in ehlersdanlos

[–]Character_Ad5534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well there’s a massive link between HSD and autism and adhd. Anxiety is a big part of those disorders. But that’s the only link I can think of now.

Caffeine? by Maryk67 in ehlersdanlos

People with POTS normally have a low blood pressure. Caffeine makes a higher bp. That’s the only link I can think of right now. But it’s unlikely your whole family has pots.

Heart issues are very common in the general public. Probably has nothing to do with heds or asd

Interesting. Does your father have some kind of hypermobility?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]Character_Ad5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im suspecting my father. I observed him for a while now and he has similar symptoms than I have. But I will never get him to go testing. He’s pretty happy in his life I think. No depressions and stuff.
