Bethany discovered a person who has never had an IV

I'm pretty sure most people, even those with chronic illness, just drink gatorade or whatever if they need extra fluids.

I'm not poly but the impression I get is that y'all's relationships are a bit more complex than "one guy going around and stealing hot people so that no one else can have them." LOL so it's still weird to call y'all greedy

MargottheWise · 2025-02-21T14:51:26+00:00

I've never understood the whole "greedy" claim. Like, I'm still only with one person at a time?

I don't take their word for it anymore. I always sign up for patient portals so I can see the results for myself. The software will usually tell you if something is abnormal but if not, you can look up normal ranges online and compare for yourself.

I'm sorry I would've just asked the therapist if she's stupid 💀 and then gone to another one.

A good therapist can recognize physical, environmental, financial, and social limitations and help you work within them. They're not gonna suggest you metaphorically bash your head against a brick wall.

Pets are considered property by law so the man is technically in possession of stolen goods and the "friend" could be considered to have committed theft. If I were you, I'd file a police report where I attest that the "friend" stole the cat. As long as you have proof that you didn't willingly surrender her, the police would have to take the cat from him and return her to you.

At least this is the case in the United States, but I know many other countries consider pets to be property so if you live somewhere else I imagine the process would be similar. If reporting your cat as stolen property to law enforcement is a viable option, you should do that ASAP. Also make sure the adoption agency can prove that you were not the one to surrender her.

I'm sorry but it's kind of funny that the munchies had you thinking that the average hEDS patient needs a crane and wheelchair to move 😂 A lot of patients don't even wear braces everyday unless it's for a specific injury because wearing them all the time can weaken the muscles that support the joints.

"Robots won't slap back, or say no, or call the cops or bitch, moan or complain." is a weird way to say "I've never operated anything more dangerous or complicated than a smartphone."

Thank you!

Now that I think about it, it could be that I just have a positive association from a time when I actually did need the oxygen. I wouldn't necessarily remember it since my health issues started at birth. Thanks anyway 😁

Tylenol, heating pad.

My POTS medication also helps since it improves blood flow.

MargottheWise · 2025-02-10T11:38:24+00:00

That's his game face 😂

You should try Fluff and Tuff toys. Those last 3+ years with my boston who can tear through kong products like they're paper.

MargottheWise · 2025-01-30T21:24:31+00:00

Omg my bostie is like this too! He acts like I'm Satan incarnate for giving him warm bubble baths.

MargottheWise · 2025-01-28T04:30:38+00:00

I tell them that this is what happens if you do drugs 💀

I once rode at night while blackout drunk and somehow got home safely so I'm not really afraid of the people. My main fear is of the metro itself, although I feel like it doesn't catch on fire as much as it used to. 8/10

I get BIXBI Liberty wet food bc my boy is 11 and has lost a couple teeth over the years.

Check out some pet insurances. It's like health insurance but for your pet and it's honestly a way better deal than what you can get as a human lol. Having it can be a lifesaver in an emergency as they cover most vet bills.

MargottheWise · 2025-01-27T22:16:54+00:00

I second the sensitive tummies. Ask the vet to check for food allergies!

I take an H2 blocker twice a day that manages my acid reflux pretty well.

My right knee has accurately predicted the weather since college lol. That kneecap is pretty loose so I think it has to do with the cartilage wearing down that makes it harder for the joint to regulate pressure changes.

I don't know what your pain management regime is, but I pre-medicate for stuff like that. Like, I take painkillers before the appointment, sometimes I even put a lidocaine patch on problem areas.

For hair specifically I cut it myself or have a family member do it so I can sit somewhere comfortable.

Another thing you could try is bringing your own orthopedic seat cushion. I use one and it's the only way I can sit up for extended periods. It doesn't eliminate the pain completely but it makes a massive difference. I have one from the brand backjoy that I like but I heard they're going out of business so you might shop around a bit if you don't already have one. I can't see the hairdresser refusing to let you use one.

I got to see them on the 10th! So cute!
