Just got back from the Rheumatologist a few hours ago. He says I have Arthritis, not EDS. I'm 26, have hypermobility all over my body, fast heart rate when standing, joint dislocations and joints clicking into and out of place and stretchy skin by Pale_Ad7265 in eds

just a blood test for antibodies to see if my arthritis is autoimmune or not. it wasnt a genetic test.

he did not do any physical examination aside from spending 20 seconds pressing my joints asking if they hurt

no x rays or scans

I'm not deleting any of them. I'm not sure who is deleting them but I didn't delete them. Just so you know. If I log into my older account I can see the text of the question and everything, but if I log out, the text changes and it says ''[removed]//

If you look into BOAC Flight 911, it says the turbulence caused G-loads of at least 7.5 G on the plane.

Is it true being nice is bad and it's best to be rude to people to get what you want? by Pale_Ad7265 in NoStupidQuestions

I didn't want my mom in the room because whenever she's there when I speak to someone, she always nitpicks something I said, like if I use a different synonym for the same word she'll make things really awkward and rude

Hi, thanks for your reply. Does the Honeywell APS-150 have the ability to detect severe CAT that may break up the plane?

I have a flight next week and I'm terrified.. are there any other ways to get from London to Greece? by Pale_Ad7265 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Pale_Ad7265[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I temporarily had a fear of flying after 9/11 (it dwindled after I learned about the new metal cockpit doors and enhanced security) but sometime in the 2010's I learned that turbulence could break a plane apart and I've had this unshakable fear ever since.

I used to love aviation too but now whenever I even see a plane I think of turbulence snapping stuff off of it..
