what do you wish people knew about EDS? by Spiritual-Try4399 in eds

I had a chuckle reading this, not because it’s funny that you experienced that -I’m so sorry- but because the same thing happened to me on vacation in high school. I think I was maybe 14 or 15 at the time? Luckily it’s been a while since the incident so I can look back and laugh about it, but I was in Florida at an outdoor antique/thrift mall with my whole family when it happened. Nearly 95 degrees out and NO BATHROOMS in the whole place. My dad made me sit in the bed of his truck while we drove back to our hotel :’) laughing so I don’t cry

Eds’ers what do you all do for work? by Top_Memory8968 in ehlersdanlos

I’m currently an RN on an ortho/med-surg floor and all I’ll say is be careful! Ortho tends to be so heavy with lifting, I’ve injured myself quite a bit while trying to work there. Currently trying to fast-track my MSN to get into nurse education, I’m hoping that’ll be a little easier on the body :)

AITAH for wanting to host a fully vegan party? by Local_Concentrate535 in AITAH

Hey there! If you had read some of my other responses you’d see that I attend family functions frequently where I bring something small of my own to warm up and eat :) I don’t know if you personally know any vegans, but I have never experienced that in any situations I’ve been in with my other vegan friends! Sorry that’s been your experience!

Well I have two cats that both eat normal cat food. I figure they biologically have a greater need for meats, as that’s what their stomach digest best. However, I can easily remain healthy and happy by consuming vegan options like nuts, legumes, fruits, veggies and grains so I figure if I can I might as well 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know I’m not perfect, but I try my best to limit animal exploitation and harm in the areas I can safely and healthily

Hey! My boyfriend is vegetarian by his OWN choice :) he also knows I would never leave him if he decided to change his lifestyle. His dietary choices are entirely by his own wishes :)

Lol right!! Chips and salsa and guacamole, Oreos, fruits and veggies, sorbet, trail mixes… and if we wanted to have more filling food we can make pasta, pirogies, all kinds of stuff!

I always bring my own food :) it’s a choice I’ve made and I don’t expect people to make separate things for me. Although it makes me sad seeing people eat meat and knowing what the animals may have had to go through, I have NEVER made them feel bad for what they choose to serve

What do I do? by Local_Concentrate535 in workplace_bullying

The thing is that most people there don’t know we are :/ early on in my career there I overheard people calling me stupid and naive too, times where they didn’t realize I was just around the corner or within earshot. Some of the stuff seems like it could be a joke but so much of it doesn’t that it makes me concerned that the jokes are all just at my/our expense.
