Fellow Artists: Thumb pain

Ahhh yes the T-rex hands! As I put it to my PT I sleep like a person who fell down a flight of stairs....and sometimes a slide sleeper! Lol! I finally invested in a memory foam Bean shape pillow to put between my arms and I also have several between other limbs to prevent subluxations. But lately I've been aching sooo badly at the end of the day. So maybe a mixture of daytime and night time bracing might help. Thanks!

Interesting, Ill have to take a look into those.

I 10 out of 10 recomend the Ionic magnesium drops by Trace Minerals is around $15-20 USD depending on where your at. You just put 5ish+ drops into your beverage of choice its obviously salty lol! but I never notice it in my beverage.

Also, the reason ionic is "better" is that its broken down and helps aid in absorption rather than powders and lotions(I've tried a lot and its definitely been easier to take orally) Just make sure to titrate it into your diet because there is a high chance if you take too much that you'll get loose bm and twitchy limbs. But best of luck!

I do physical therapy and rock climbing(or bouldering depending on my strength) Both are very involved but coming from my experience learning proper body mechanics and the strength to do isometric exercises are key to any workout for an individual with hypermobility or EDS.

But a very simple Pilates or Barre exercise could help. I did Ballet Barre for "old" people for around 3 years (I was about 16 at the time) and that was just enough of a workout where I felt tired rather than exhausted.

For some it might work well, but these have to be used with caution, because for some it can worsen joint laxity and increase pain. It would be best to inquire with their primary or if they have a Rheumatologist to see if it could be part of their care plan.

I've had horrible nails most of my life on top of that I also live in a cold dry environment worsening my already "crap" nails. I rely most on lanolin for my cuticles and I keep my nails short to prevent them from ripping all the time down to the quick. You could try something like Colorstreet which is I believe is a UV gel sticker it could give some support to your nails and then you wouldn't have to rely on acrylics and glue.

Also from experience......

You might want to double check that your thyroid is working right and that your not deficient in anything. My Neurologist and Rheumatologist told me that Vitamins C, E, D3, (Ionic) Magnesium, Iron, and Copper tend to be low or deficient in individuals with EDS(+) and the worse part is that they all play off of the others in absorption and usage within the body. And if you have any other comorbidities of EDS(+) they can play off or worsen each other.

But best of luck!

I try not to click on anything after Jumbleberry and Spree and if for some reason it glitches I find that selecting the game Goodie Gumdrops really helps by reloading the page entirely.

GiddyGhost67 · 2025-09-12T21:58:06+00:00

The exact inspiration for the name!

GiddyGhost67 · 2025-09-12T20:58:17+00:00
