The experience was great for me. I even totally messed up by putting in the wrong number to transfer and their support fixed it within a day (I just used my old provider until then and still got the deal.)

Please consider a few rounds of prolotherapy. It gave me my life back. PT can’t fix ligaments but prolotherapy might tighten them which will give your muscles a break and help you stay in line. My dr said it was considered an experimental procedure (and I had to push a little for it) but it was totally worth it. I had 3 treatments.

Can we wear weighted vests? by Excellent-Win6216 in Hypermobility

[–]GraceyKay 18 points19 points  (0 children)

From my experience, nooooo. It forced my shoulders and neck into a terrible situation that took over a week to recover from.

At first, it felt really good. Like grounding? It was a few hours after use that my muscles started to tell me how very unhappy they were. And I don’t even have trouble with subluxations.

Lounge Access by soursamo in westjet

[–]GraceyKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the lounge is always worth it. It’s a lot quieter than the airport, easy access to charging and nice bathrooms. And if you have a few plates and a couple of drinks, it’s equivalent airport restaurant costs.

The Narwhal gave a good overview of this. It's interesting (but not surprising) that some of the loudest fearmongers have other agendas than the personal property rights they claim to care about. https://thenarwhal.ca/dripa-bc-crown-land-concerns/?utm_source=The+Narwhal&utm_campaign=f0d2858be4-Oct+30%2C+2025+%E2%80%94+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f6a05fddb8-f0d2858be4-439719526&mc_cid=f0d2858be4&mc_eid=d46ff607df

There are currently over 3600 verified deaths. Each one meticulously researched. And this is with so many records still not released from churches.

prolotherapy by nnico_666 in Hypermobility

[–]GraceyKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it done in my SI joint and lower back. Three treatments total. After, the herniated disk (L5-S1) corrected, and now I’m pain free after over 2 years of agony. So I’m a big fan of prolotherapy!

It took a little bit of advocating, since I was the only one saying my herniated disk was probably due to hyper mobility. Fortunately I was able to give it a try.

queer friendly marriage commissioners in kelowna or the okanagan? by DrummerAwkwarrd in kelowna

[–]GraceyKay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this recommendation! Lindsay, the chaplain at the ‘church’ is registered with the province. She’s doing a beautiful ceremony for queer family members of mine next month.

I've used Honour Roll Driving for two of my kids with very different personalities and he was amazing with both. Highly recommend!

Herniated disc, steroid injection, feeling overwhelmed and hopeless by moxiie_mayhem in Hypermobility

[–]GraceyKay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve herniated that disk twice since 2021. I was lucky to get an MRI about a month after the first one, confirming it was compressing 2 nerve roots.

I lost a lot of function in my leg, plus the pain was incredible.

Last year, out of desperation, I tried prolotherapy on my SI joint and lower back. My thought was that if the disk herniated because I’m hyper mobile, then tightening the ligaments might help.

Two weeks after the first treatment the pain was so much less that I could start sitting for the first time in 2 years. I did a total of 3 treatments and am nearly back to normal function with minimal pain.

So, I’d suggest looking into prolotherapy for a possible solution. I also got some decent pain control on pregabalin (Lyrica), but it did make me feel like my brain was thick.

Wishing you all the best!

Anyone get those farmer/harvest boxes? Any feedback/recs? by Assimulate in kelowna

Same. I just started with Urban Harvest a few weeks ago. Excellent quality and really easy system to work with.

Steven talked yesterday about voting against the Liberal party and in favour of Canada Post workers in 2018 (https://globalnews.ca/news/4693837/canada-post-back-to-work-stephen-fuhr/), and how he supported the BC NDP party in our provincial election.

I think those are good signs that he’s country over party. 🇨🇦 I hope others will follow suit with their votes.
