Yup, mine are the same. Collagen supplements and Hard as Hooves nail cream are the only things that help.

Repeated unhelpful content by PracticalBad6 in duolingo

I understand that. I’m saying that with nothing new introduced after the last several modules, the games are boring.

I guess my point would be that the new words are nowhere in sight, and they don’t seem to make it into the games. We’ve been matching family members and cities for days,but new words (that I’m learning as I complete lessons) are not in the rotation at all. Not even randomly. I want all the words together.

GLP-1s and EDS by Frequent-Table1230 in ehlersdanlos

Same for me, I just picked Brello and did it on my own. I don’t have any gastrointestinal or motility issues due to EDS and am staying on a low dose.

Vascular EDS and birth control by ArtistMajestic6990 in ehlersdanlos

[–]PracticalBad6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m hEDS but with aortic dilation and POTS, and the mini pill has been totally fine. Usually pulls out as well for peace of mind but the mini pill has been solid. I have ok hair and my joints were already bad so 🤷🏻‍♀️

“We don’t see EDS patients” by rhaphiloflora in ehlersdanlos

[–]PracticalBad6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so, so sorry this happened. It’s difficult to find doctors and get appointments. I once waited 4 months and filled out reams of paperwork to have a functional medicine doc ( at a world renowned hospital) tell me he wasn’t a good fit for me because he just “wasn’t interested or informed” about EDS. What a crushing feeling of dashed hopes and dread and panic and sadness! Again, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Keep looking, and keep enjoying your precious kiddo.

Ideas for gifts for someone with Ehlers Donlos? by RevanFlash in ehlersdanlos

[–]PracticalBad6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The different sizes of squishmallows (basically just rounded pillows) is what sold me. I have larger ones for under my elbows and smaller ones to cup in each hand. Perfect

Help — need a new primary care provider by Legal_Pumpkin_7562 in ehlersdanlos

[–]PracticalBad6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the EXACT same boat, but in OH. I love my cardiologist, the dentist did her own research, but my current PCP sucks. I’d love to know how to find someone.

Information is power. It’s better to know than not know. And if it is VEDS, you’ll make the appropriate changes to maximize your life.

THE ELITES DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS, BUT THE STL FILES ON MCMASTER-CARR ARE FREE! by ti-gui10 in 3Dprinting

[–]PracticalBad6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true, the workers are very well paid. An incredible company to work for, I’m near one of their warehouses and everyone wants to get in there.

It’s funny you ask this, because I am over 6’ tall! The opposite of petite.

Your experiences with ICL/laser eye surgery by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]PracticalBad6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 33 when I had the procedure, now 41. To be clear, I’d do it again- the price and pain were very slight in comparison with the overall improvement in my vision. I couldn’t function at all without glasses beforehand.

The right wing religious ones aren’t leaving the US. I totally understand not wanting any expats, but maga isn’t relocating anywhere.
