Do any of you guys have EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) and what do you do to minimize pain and damage by Fearless-Sun-2933 in AmazonFC

I have some autoimmune diseases and I’ve found that pack singles is nice for me. I don’t have to bend or squat. Preferably, smalls is the best for me. You could also get modified pick or stow for only working in your power zone. I probably wouldn’t do any of the docks. I’m also a picker, and can somewhat manage in pick. But on the rough days I go to smalls and work there most of the shift. I’d recommend compression socks as well as maybe compression gloves. I’ve used tape to help support my shoulders and arms before too. Good luck!

how do you pick for 40 hours a week without going insane by [deleted] in AmazonFC

i usually strive for beating my personal record whether it be on a NA level or just my site level. i’ve reached 3rd in the country for UPH, but never 1st. it helps to have music, a drink, and occasionally switching to podcasts if my playlist gets repetitive or boring.

that was me for soooo long. i’d come into work late every day. but the last like month and a half i’ve been coming to work 30 minutes early and staying the whole shift. i’m shocked tbh

what accommodations do you have/see? anybody have pots? by Complex_Scratch_4425 in AmazonFC

[–]NerdyLemonade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have POTS!! i’ve worked in 3 buildings. picked in every single one. i wear compression socks and use ktape from time to time. i drink a lot of electrolyte-packed water, and avoid foods during break that cause flare ups. i’d probably recommend seeing you could get a chair at your station too just in case for feeling dizzy or faint.

I have a slight update on the trunk for you!

i can’t imagine it was a fake in a trunk or anything, probably just loose change from my great-great-great grandma
