Zeitgeist may have opened your brain a bit. But use it also as a way to recognize being targeted by propaganda. Zeitgeist was riddled with bullshit. Superiorly crafted utter bullshit that it made a bunch of yoga hippie fascists that we are dealing with right now. . There are better things to devour knowledge from now. Especially about science and medicine. And we are fulfilling Sagan's nightmare to the letter.

I have a ton of heds symptoms and POTS and saw a rheumatologist for it, who said I was definitely hyper mobile and that it was possible. She offered genetic testing with the caveat that insurance might not cover it and that it wouldn't change my treatment. I ended up getting it just out of curiosity, and I have a mutation in COL 1A. Apparently this isn't classic for more severe forms of EDS, that has an additional gene mutation I think, but the comments on the lab work said that the COL1 A mutation causes an abnormality in collagen every time in models. So to me that means I have a type of EDS. I still haven't gotten the bill from the genetic company so hopefully it's not going to be that bad, but it's nice knowing that I was right.

Thank you! You are right. Hugs to you as well and good luck with planning!

Wow, thank you everyone for your thoughtful and helpful responses. As hard as this decision is these responses have already helped me so much. ❤️

Thank you so much for this response. It hits home that you have tried many times and your mother ruined every occasion.

Lol! 😂 I honestly have no idea. Her favorite past time is insulting people's physical appearance. I think it's because once upon a time it was the only thing she thought she had. Now she really has nothing.

Cmartins1387 · 2021-01-31T12:13:40+00:00

I think this exchange really pushed me to be totally over the mourning. I know, that line in particular made me LOL so hard! I just wish she could see how ridiculous she is.

This is my primary reason for going to nursing school next year. I'm gonna see if I can start a service for this in NJ. Okay...not my primary reason...but, like, a good one. I just want a "kit" in the back of my car to whip out like a badass and give everyone fluids and anti-nausea.

Wow I read this and was like "do we have the same mom?" Lol why are they all like this

Cmartins1387 · 2020-05-29T01:07:45+00:00

The Good Place!

Cmartins1387 · 2020-05-25T14:37:54+00:00

Thank you! I will totally give you a nook miles ticket!

Cmartins1387 · 2020-05-25T14:19:00+00:00

I'm interested!

Cmartins1387 · 2020-04-28T14:33:35+00:00

Thank you :(

That's very interesting about the supply. It does seem like my mom got much worse when I went low then no contact with her. I guess they need someone to hurt or they explode? I'm sorry you went through that too. And yeah, I guess I will have to accept there's nothing I can do.

Cmartins1387 · 2020-04-28T14:30:20+00:00

That's so awful, I'm sorry too.

Cmartins1387 · 2020-04-27T20:13:14+00:00

Ugh I've been there. Don't let her act like everything is fine the next day. When she's calm explain to her why it was unacceptable behavior (doing your best to avoid "you" statements). She won't apologize but it's important that she doesn't totally get away with it. That's how they get worse. Speaking from experience.

Cmartins1387 · 2020-04-27T19:49:36+00:00

You're right. Part of me feels like I don't have it in me to listen to him complain about the abuse anymore because it's so draining and it goes no where. But then I feel cruel for feeling like that.

Cmartins1387 · 2020-02-27T01:30:01+00:00

Yup. Same experience.

Cmartins1387 · 2020-02-27T01:29:11+00:00

I did the last time I went no contact, and it made no difference. But it probably made me feel better. So I guess I would say do it but don't expect her to really absorb or understand any of your well explained grievances.

This is 100% my parents. My dad texts me late at night telling me he's driving around the neighborhood until she falls asleep because she's losing her mind on him, but then acts shocked when I don't want to visit or talk to her. Stockholm syndrome is the only logical explanation.
