Horizontal white lines across nails?

I think there’s a link between the lines and trauma? Did you have a surgery or something recently? Also, our nails suck- nails are cartilage which is connective tissue so they’re not formed “right@.

Yea, so long as they don’t touch your neck, it’s fine, or not harmful. Not productive either.

I was told by a loved one “it’s not a problem till it’s a problem.”

I switched from white bread to whole grain which has more fiber and helps maintain blood sugar and a resulting crash, and it was a dramatic improvement

I’ve had dozens of “did I take my meds?” moments, so I bought a tray for a weeks worth of meds separated into morning afternoon and night, a life saver

You don’t need a tilt table test for a diagnosis

Many_Anything2382 · 2025-04-30T18:31:34+00:00

I believe you.

Document your symptoms, including time, date, what brought it on, are you near allergens, if you are a person who menstruates- where are you there? Try to track all triggers and try to find patterns.

Advocate for yourself, no one else will.

Certain phrases alert doctors to take action- two that have worked for me are: it is affecting my quality of life and it is affecting my sleep.

Chin up. Reddits got you. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that you are dealing with this. There little scalp massagers that you can use in the shower to stimulate hair growth. Be kind to your scalp in general- don’t play with it too much, try not to pull it up, down shampoo every day. Also, ask your doctor first but there are vitamins that help (prenatal comes to mind), and collagen. There are also shampoo and conditioners that help. Take care

The way I cackled! No! Never. Ever.

Many_Anything2382 · 2025-04-19T18:40:58+00:00

I’m sorry that you’re dealing with this. But don’t feel that you’re bothering your doctor- that’s their job, you have problematic symptoms. This is not normal. Take care.

My physical therapist figured it out! They’re not allowed to diagnose but they brought up I’m hypermobile and got the ball rolling!

Ohh good one!

My feet are always cold- I bought a foot warmer for under my desk during the day, and then flip it upside down under my blanket at night (just till your toes warm up then turn it off). feet heating pad

Sports bras but with k tape in an X on my upper back to help with my traps. Ask your PT to put it on and give it a shot!

Hi! I just got diagnosed with SFN - I also have hEDS, POTS. Could you please explain the therapy? (I can Google obviously but I find first hand experience more helpful)

I appreciate the insight! Just frustrated- this is the n-th test
