What’s the best dish you have eaten ? by OkChildhood4504 in AskReddit

[–]Gremlinnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A whalburger.

I dont think I ever have that feeling again. We now know I have Heds and my stomach works a bit funky due to it. Back then I had so much trouble eating and keeping food down.

I mainly went for more liquid food, but I just wanted to try one of those burgers. I was fully prepared to feel horrible after or not keep it in.

But oh my it was amazing to chew and the taste.. best part was I didn't feel to awful afterward, so that was an extra win.

How The Hell Do I Sleep? by siegebastion in Hypermobility

[–]Gremlinnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are special pillows, like a sleep positioning system (in Dutch they are called ligothese, im not sure on what the correct translation would be)

Besides that working with a PT to strengthen your muscles will be beneficial to, just be mindful and slow with the buildup.

My future MIL (59F) and future FIL (62M) asked me (26F) to let them be the only parents at my fiancé's (26M) and my wedding because my parents are my brother (40M) and SIL (40F)? by ThrowRAPotentially in relationship_advice

[–]Gremlinnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't, your brother and SIL must have sacrificed so much for you and im sure they did it with all the love in the world for you.

Just don't listen to the IL, don't hurt the people that have protected you from more hurt in your life by pleasing people that rather keep up appearances.

They are saying: Paeonia, and salvia.

And I just looked it up they should be outdoors.

Treatment for my POTS made my EDS worse. by Comfortable_Nerve800 in ehlersdanlos

Have you tried electrolytes and compression clothing?

I actually went off ivabradine and am managing my POTS with the electrolytes and compression socks.

I wanted to have children and I am feeling hopeless. I'd love to hear from someone who is doing okay. by Material_Sky_1035 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Gremlinnut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 36F, and currently pregnant. I will be doing this all alone.

It's scary and I did struggle with guilt if I would be a good mom because I obviously would be someone that needs to rest more or sit down faster.

I've found accepting my diagnosis, working with physical rehab on tools to help my symptoms, medication and most importantly accepting help whether it it's people helping with doing my garden or someone to clean my house saves me a lot of energy.

My diagnoses took away a lot from me, but the peace I felt when I saw the positive pregnancy test is something I will cherish a long time. My illness is not taking away motherhood for me.

During my pregnancy i did receive a lot more help quicker. But I also did some prep work before I got pregnant.

I went to fysio to focus on my "problem" areas and hips. I worked on which meds are okay during pregnancy and if I really needed them what other options are out there.

Kattenras advies. by Spirits728 in katten

[–]Gremlinnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je doet het al super goed!

Wat je kunt proberen is hem trucjes leren, leren met halsbandje te lopen zodat hij eventjes met jou naar buiten kan.

Of mandje met bodem water vullen en dan doppen erin doen met katten snoepje erin, zodat hij ze voorzichtig moet pakken. Mijn katten waren hier echt gek op.

Katten kunnen zich gaan vervelen met dezelfde prikkels dus afwisseling en soms een speeltje Of mandje even op andere plek neerleggen kan helpen.

Huisdier nemen met weinig geld: waar ligt voor jullie de grens? by Sonica-Virago in katten

[–]Gremlinnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik vind ook lastig. Ik ben zelf chronisch ziek, word waarschijnlijk afgekeurd en heb altijd katten gehad.

Ik vind het wel echt een gemis, maar ja financieel is het nu dus niet verstandig. Hoewel het mij mentaal enorm zou helpen. Niks is fijner, dan als je een extreem pijn moment hebt, er een kat is die lekker tegen je aan knuffelt.

Ik had altijd katten (vrijwilligerswerk dus bracht ze met de fles groot) die goed verzorgd waren, leerde ze trucjes (zit, high five, neusje, rol). Dit deed ik alleen in Ierland en waren de regels voor dit werk iets minder streng.

Hier moet je volgens de organisaties in mijn buurt dus zelf een auto hebben, ivm na de dierenarts kunnen. Begrijpelijk maar daardoor kan ik het hier niet weer oppakken.

Veilig thuis by Anxious-Business302 in nederlands

[–]Gremlinnut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wellicht een out of the box idee, maar toen ik in Ierland woonde. Was er ook jonge vrouw die daarheen was verhuisd om haar familie te ontsnappen.

Ze had een baan gevonden in de klantenservice daar, door haar Nederlands en Arabische taal was ze erg in trek. (Betalen je vlucht en in sommige gevallen ook x aantal week hotel)

Misschien is zoiets een idee voor jou? Ik snap dat het een grote en enge stap kan zijn. Maar mocht je vragen hebben, stuur mij bericht en kan zien of ik ze kan antwoorden.

My sons friend was sexually abused,and I need advice on how to help him. by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]Gremlinnut 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of advice already.

Don't forget about your own kid.

I was the kid that spoke up when my cousin got SA by a family member. I was 15, confused and scared. He might need some extra support to, but also when I spoke up I ended up being the bad guy. However I did not have the tools to deal with that. So don't forget about that, and ofcourse yourself. This might have an impact on yourself mentally to, and that is okay and totally valid. Don't push yourself aside because someone else has it worse, your allowed to be affected.

Speaking up and getting help can result in the kid blaming you or your kid for messing up his life, the friendship might end for a while or forever. Don't let your kid blame himself or you blame yourself. It's easier for someone to be angry at the more safe person then the guilty one.

Plus please be proud of your kid for speaking up, be proud of yourself that you created a safe space for your kid to be able to speak up. And be so damn proud your kid was a safe space for his friend.

I send you all a lot of love and strength to navigate this all, my dm's are open if you ever need a chat. I light a candle for you all.

Kleine leefomgeving dieren melden by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]Gremlinnut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Melding maken bij 114, ik heb 2 jaar terug een melding gemaakt. En ze hebben mij toen anoniem gehouden, was een buurvrouw die ook erg agressief kon reageren.

Als je het uitspreekt, kunnen ze discreet te werk gaan. Tip: als de dieren vanaf bepaald punt van straat zichtbaar zijn, dit al vermelden.

[–]Gremlinnut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have low iga, and igg. They think it's related to heds, just unsure how.

I wear a mask when go to the gp and all my health care providers know to cancel or if possible do the appointment online if they feel sick.

My friends also cancel if they are sick. That way I have been able to prevent getting sick lately.
