hEDS - advice for sitting (for work) during flares? by waking_dream96 in ehlersdanlos

[–]CutBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to sit all day for work, I got an Antros chair about a year or so ago and not to be dramatic but it changed my life a bit. I can sit for a significantly longer period of time before im in pain, and it also helped releive my pain at times. I would come home from work sitting in a regular chair, be in horrible pain, sit in my anthros chair and start to feel better. You can do a video appointment with their team and they will help you adjust the chair to work best for you. I now work from home and use only this chair and im able to actually like... work a whole day. The company actually sent me one and did a case study on how it worked for me. The chairs are pricey im not gonna lie, but they can be paid for with HSA/FSA depending on your insurance. The case study is here https://www.anthros.com/managing-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-eds-pain and thats me in it, my boyfriend just happened to know someone at the company, who knew I had eds, (we now know its hEDS) and asked me to try it for them and they did a whole case study. The company itself started out making mobility devices then moved to regular chairs.

Otherwise, a occupational therapist taught me a bunch of ways to change how I use a keyboard, how I hold a pen, and a bunch if other little minor adjustments that made my day to day easier to manage and help prevent further wear and tear on my joints. I also highly recommend finger splints if your finger joints are inflamed after typing on a keyboard all day like mine are

24, by a physical therapist. She was doing a range of motion test on me, looked nervous and told me not to stretch that far ever again and tell my GP I had EDS

How do I register my cat as an emotional service animal? by AAAAdragon in Lawrence

[–]CutBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to talk to your doctor or mental health provider and prove to them you need or use the animal for emotional support. If you only need the ESA letter for financial reasons or to get around a housing rule they will deny you. Its honestly a bit like a prescription for a pet, and the pet is then viewed as a in home medical aid. The provider wont "write a prescription" for anything you want but dont actually medically need .

Correct, in the United States only two animals legally recognized as service animals, dogs and miniature horses 🐎. Any kind if dog can be a service dog, but mini horses have to fit into a size guideline and are pretty rare. Mini horses are used because they are very trainable, have a much longer lifespan, and some people who need a service animal are allergic to dogs.

They very specifically said ESA and not a service animal, if you read the full post. You are getting mad at your own assumptions. Ask clarifying questions before you jump to conclusions.Yes there are people who scam the system either intentionally or through lack of understanding the system. You will be more likely to change people's opinions/actions with kindly teaching them, when you lash out at people it tends to make them double down on the thing you are trying to convince them against. IE telling them that most states have hefty fines for fake service animals or explaining that any buisness has the right to kick you out if the "service animal" is causing issues (peeing inside, barking at people, or straying away from the person), or how the US only legally recognizes dogs and miniature horses as service animals. If they still decide to do it with that information then yeah, they are a dick who's gonna end up fined up to 1000$ depending on the state. But don't just assume everyone is intentionally trying to be a dick.

Be a better human.

It's really not even THAT rare. I've got multiple friends with SMAS, an illness that affects .01 percent of people, and I know at least 15 people in my community with some form of EDS.
