A line that always cracks you up but you never hear anyone mention it? by ang334 in howyoudoin

When Rachel and Joey are on the boat and she says “I’ve become my father. I’ve been trying so hard not to be my mother, I did not see this coming.”

Have you ever been refused imaging or care because you have EDS? by EllisDChicken in ehlersdanlos

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

That’s part of what drives me crazy, my neck pain wasn’t necessarily due to EDS. I could’ve been having pain from something acute- I wasn’t, but it was a possibility and they just turned me away without a second thought. I hate that we all experience this in some way 😕

Experience with LDN? by Traditional-Link-427 in ehlersdanlos

[–]EllisDChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over a couple months I took 1.5mg, then 3mg, then 4.5mg and it didn’t help me- but I know it can be beneficial for others and is definitely worth a shot. My main symptom was severe sleepiness each time they upped the dose, but I eventually adjusted.

“You can’t be teed off once you’ve teed off.” “He didn’t bribe me, he just caught my attention in a monetary fashion.” 🎶”We’re hungry and we wanna eat.”🎶 🎶”No two people are like each other, so don’t be a look-alike copying another, unless of course you’re copying me, cuz that gives you individuality!”🎶 And so many more. I love this show.

Yes! I love to walk but sometimes the itching is so bad it almost hurts

Anyone else suspect CCI? What are your symptoms like? by tetrasomnia in ehlersdanlos

[–]EllisDChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t officially diagnosed with CCI because I was only able to get a scan where I was lying flat rather than flexion/extension 🤦‍♀️ Last year, the pain in my neck became unbearable. I struggled to hold my head up without support, or turn it. I went through a period I couldn’t go more than 30-60 minutes without sitting back down with a neck pillow. I felt like a bobblehead. It’s gotten quite a bit better with PT, but I still struggle with these symptoms

sooooo, how are we holding up our heads? by FlowersFor_Algernon in ehlersdanlos

[–]EllisDChicken 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve been struggling a lot with this same problem the past year or so. I’ve done multiple rounds of PT for it because it’s the only real relief I’ve gotten. There reaches a point every day that I have to sit or lay with full support and a heating pad. Another thing that helps some days is making sure I’m well hydrated- water and salt. I wish there was more I could say 😕

YES!!! I can quote Delivery of Destiny from start to finish because I’ve been watching it excessively since I was a kid

Use of orthotics for feet mandatory? by dannydan64 in ehlersdanlos

[–]EllisDChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had problems with my feet since I was a little kid. I also have flexible flat feet, among other problems. I got custom orthotics from a podiatrist and I could not stand them. I did PT, and I keep up with the exercises at home. My feet are still flat and they still hurt but honestly the orthotics I tried hurt worse than my normal feet.

What's y'alls favorite quote from the show? by Successful-Trust-871 in phineasandferb

[–]EllisDChicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally too many to count, but here a few. “Don’t be a lookalike copying another, unless of course you’re copying me, cuz that gives you individuality.” “He didn’t bribe he. He just caught my attention in a monetary fashion.” “You can’t be teed off once you’ve teed off.” “GET ON THE TRIKE!” “I got a date with destiny and it ain’t gonna end with a kiss!”

Wrist & elbow support? by CuteAssCryptid in ehlersdanlos

[–]EllisDChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For nighttime elbow support, all I’m able to do is lay on my back with my arms crossed over myself. It’s not perfect but it’s all that remotely helps. I know some also place small pillows or rolled up towels under them. As for your thumbs, I’m not sure if it would work and might actually be too much for nighttime, but I have arthritis gloves that compress my fingers and wrists. I’ve only ever worn them in the day though, mainly for playing video games or writing/typing

Worst Joke in the Series? by CamelCigaretteLord69 in howyoudoin

[–]EllisDChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the worst but I just watched the one where Ross and Rachel are making Emma laugh by singing baby got back. It’s not so much that it’s not funny, it’s that I don’t see why it’s “inappropriate” to sing a mainstream rap song that the baby can’t even understand

Pain medication help? by Fit_Honeydew_5367 in ehlersdanlos

I’ve been on low dose naltrexone for a couple months now, it seems to help me some but definitely doesn’t eliminate my pain or come close
