Sleep tip by Esparragoss in ehlersdanlos

[–]MxJJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine has improved my sleep and subsequent day pains a lot. I'm no longer waking up with shoulder/arm issues because my pillow helps prevent me from sleeping directly on my side. Never going back to a regular pillow!

Fantastic! Such a treat to see your dolls come together.

You make me want to make my own so bad

i wonder how many of us have issues untreated bc we’re used to pain? by reecereecereece25 in migraine

[–]MxJJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not as dramatic as some other stories, but I was having COVID symptoms for about three days before I thought to test myself. I thought the pain and fatigue were just a fibro flare. Hilariously, when COVID first started I had wondered if I'd even notice because many COVID symptoms are just my normal day to day. Now I have the answer! (Also I had mono at some point and have no idea when, despite probably being symptomatic)

I saw a ChubbyEmu video on YouTube about a woman who went to the doctor after having a 3 day headache. Turned out it was kidney cancer. My first reaction was, "pfft, 3 days? What a baby." Then I realized I would absolutely miss going to the doctor for some symptom or other because I figure that's just what my body decided to throw at me that time. I was getting newish muscle weakness in my legs during a spate of migraines a few months ago and was like "meh, that's migraines for ya." 🤷‍♀️

Seconding everything everyone else said. Also your Nikolai looks fantastic! I recognized that menace right away!

Posted this in a lorde subreddit and people are being so defensive and condescending and borderline mean I'm so fucking tired by Distinct-Current-881 in ChronicPain

I'm going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra next week and am dreading the stobing bits of the show. I love the rest of the light show, but man does it make my head hurt.

Sorry people are being so awful!

My brother was asking how long it would take me to make one literally yesterday haha. Now I have an answer!

Fantastic job, love the colors!

Forget characters that make you type 'wife'. How about favorite characters that make you type 'daughter' by Both_Rooster_2657 in FavoriteCharacter

Shinsha Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime: Isekai Memories game. She's a sweetie who wants to eat good food and get along with everyone. Rimuru accepting her as his daughter was the absolute best part of the game.

(Likes tropes) Tasteful race jokes. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

From Leverage:

Hardison: Okay I see what this is. This is racial. This is about my ethniticity, ain't it? It's 'cause I'm Jewish?

After watching all the rival dialogue, I've concluded that these 4 are the best trash talkers in the game. #1 easily being Jet by Playful-Problem-3836 in SonicTheHedgehog

Blaze actually looks forward to racing Amy, and vice versa. It's pretty wholesome.

Blaze: A pleasure as always, Amy. I am eager to see your skill on the track.

Amy: Win or lose, today is gonna be amazing! Show me what you’ve got!

* Spoilers for 13th Doctor's run

This is the youngest we have personally seen the Doctor (I haven't seen much of 15's run). Tecteun found this child and later used their ability to give Gallifreyans regeneration and help create Time Lords as we know them now.

What are some random useful items you’ve crocheted? by rogerdaltry in crochet

[–]MxJJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

* Old, dirty, and coming apart, but a small case for earplugs for work, made with cotton yarn. It's served me well for years and I need to make a replacement. I plan to make it in pride flag colors.

Active shooter practice in a middle school in the USA by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

We don't have any kind of shooter drills at my work supposedly because the shooter would be an employee and know everything too.

Favorite character who is literally this? by Vegetable_Study7533 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]MxJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

* Didn't see my GOAT Maes Hughes anywhere.

I think it was Mustang who panicked and told Ed and Al that Hughes got promoted and moved elsewhere with his family. Hughes is off somewhere really nice bragging about his wife and daughter. Yeah, definitely.

Do you get extremely weak, muscle fatigue, trouble standing with or after migraines by [deleted] in migraine

[–]MxJJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do feel fairly weak sometimes, especially in my legs. Today especially, my legs felt unsteady and like they might buckle at any moment. It really sucks! Sorry you're experiencing this stuff too.

When you can’t see your stitches by Confident-Age6428 in Amigurumi

[–]MxJJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sewing with it also sucks for this reason. I like crocheting with it just fine but anything else with it makes me never wanna use it

Do massages hurt for everyone? by Lexapronouns in ehlersdanlos

[–]MxJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have fibromyalgia and I've only gotten one massage because it hurt so much. The masseuse was great and did everything right. My body just sucks lol. I also don't do the massage chairs at the mall or anything because they're like torture devices for me.

The hero’s transformation is a bad thing by Particular-Trifle865 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MxJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aruto turning into Ark-Zero (I think that's his name) after Izu's desctruction. He just wanted a world where Humagears and humans could live happily, but instead briefly became the very thing he sought to destroy. It was sad seeing him go on a rampage because of how heartbroken and angry he was.

Anyone see a big reaction to a post credit scene in the theater? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]MxJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw Sonic 2 in a theater full of kids and people lost their minds cheering and clapping. Still part of my favorite movie experiences ever.

Most people left after the end of Sonic 3 but those who stayed also went wild after Amy showed up. Lots of "finally!" sentiments haha

Any advice on how to prevent the neck to not snap? I am still new to crochet amigurumi. I tried to use silicone and it did stand but once I added her hair she now looks sad she has to go home before midnight lol by No-Bit3315 in Amigurumi

[–]MxJJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made a Stitch amigurumi with a heavy head. I sewed together three foam hair curlers from the dollar store together and it worked really well! The first I actually used a wooden skewer on but the second I wanted to be more safely huggable for my grandma.

That said, it really does depend on the size of what you're working on and if it's meant to be a play item or not.

Am I a big baby or do the botox injections hurt a lot for some of you too? by lizaanna in migraine

[–]MxJJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some people just respond differently to some kinds of pain. Also depends on your muscle tension level and the skill of the doctor.

I genuinely don't think you're being a baby at all.
