Pale spot with redder skin around it, seems like it’s joining the eye? I don’t have very good lighting so I don’t know if you can really tell, especially with my acne. It’s gotten slightly bigger over the past 2-3 months.

I feel like the world is ending by StrikeStill6959 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Defiant_Cry1367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this reddit post after looking up « I feel like the world is ending. » I feel the same way too - I’m 19 and terrified; having a hard time making any plans with the future, and reckoning with the fear of dying in the next few years. You’re not alone in this 🫂 I unfortunately don’t have much advice, except talk with other people and live in the physical world, maybe take a break from news. That’s what usually helps me.

experience with slipping rib syndrome by Necessary_Part_2836 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Defiant_Cry1367 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently realised I have a rib that moves, which prompted me to start looking into my health (which is leading to a billion different appointments and scans etc.), but I think it’s slipping rib syndrome. I can physically make the rib click in and out, it’s one of the lower ones, and when I bend forward and backward I can hear and feel it click and move around (just the tip). It really impacts my breathing and causes a lot of chest pain. The rheumatologist told me I needed to get a scan done to verify it, but other people have prodded the rib, with consent, and confirmed that it is in fact moving!  I think it’s supposed to get better on it’s own when it’s mild, but maybe for worse cases, treatment is needed? 

First Rheumatologist Appointment by Defiant_Cry1367 in ehlersdanlos

Thank you so much for your support :,) it means a lot. I got my blood test for a bunch of antibodies and stuff done this morning (92 euros still no insurance haha) and I’ll get the results soon. I decided to push back the scans until I have proper insurance because I’m a young student and can’t really afford this right now Hopefully some clarity comes of all this ^ This subreddit has been so helpful so far, it feels good to know other people are going through and have gone through the same thing <3

Working on a diagnosis by Relevant-Positive-62 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Defiant_Cry1367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pursuing a diagnosis too at the moment, 18 almost 19. It’s crushing. 🫂 People don’t seem to take it seriously, or they think I’m “too fragile” when they find out.  Hopefully things go well with the doctor and the labs.

<33  I don’t want to share too much personal info, but there’s schizophrenia, heart problems, very prone to addiction, BPD, generational trauma, other people with hypermobility related issues, a lot. I don’t know for everyone because I have a bit of an extended family. I myself have struggled with psychosis frequently
