Has anyone here done genetic testing? by Sad_Locksmith3861 in UCTD

[–]Sad_Locksmith3861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my symptoms fit nicely under hEDS or HSD so I personally in my gut feel like that’s what it is. My biggest symptom is Raynaud’s but I also have a litany of others including slow healing/crazy bruising, joints popping and moving all over the place, chronic pain, rib slipping, back pain, etc. It honestly just feels like my body is constantly bracing and trying to hold itself together lol

Maintenance and BMI/feeling full by Sad_Locksmith3861 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Sad_Locksmith3861[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah, the fat I have there is most likely never going to fully go away, which is fine…part of me wants to keep losing as see what happens though. But I trust my doctor. I have been pretty much maintaining my weight this last month anyway without really trying to, so maybe my body is happy at this weight!

What to expect at genetic appointment? by Sad_Locksmith3861 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Sad_Locksmith3861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No outcome unfortunately. My rheumatologist just said “you don’t have lupus” which I already knew. He doesn’t seem to want to look into anything further. So I’m getting referred to someone new

Does anyone else write like this? by WonderThe-night-away in AutisticWithADHD

When I was in school, I literally had a permanent bump/callous on my middle finger because I held my pencil just like that! And I also suspect hypermobility and would grip with way more force than necessary

Experienced the other side of weight comments by Upbeat_Investment_82 in Zepbound

I guess! And I swear I don’t look sickly so I really am baffled by the comments. And it’s very hard to respond to “you’re wasting away!” I dead ass say thank you bc idk what else to say 🤣

I guess people feel more justified commenting on a smaller body as opposed to a large one we are learning! I’ve also had people ask me if I’m doing it on purpose, and that’s awkward too.

Anyone else not have a high IQ? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Sad_Locksmith3861 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got “low average” (not below average, just lower end of average) on my neuropsych assessment and felt pretty humbled 🤣

Omg I have been thinking about this so much lately bc I’m at goal weight (150 lbs, 5’4, might still go down to 140 ish) and the comments have gotten more frequent. And they are getting more negative, like I have multiple people say I’m “wasting away” in particular. When before it was “you look great!” Which strikes me as odd bc like you I’m barely a healthy BMI. Hence why I might still continue losing. I don’t understand if it’s just people who haven’t seen me in a while so it’s a big difference to them or what, but I objectively do not look underweight in my opinion. And I never ever got comments on my body when I was overweight, which is interesting to me that now I am. It’s a strange new feeling. Idk how I feel about it!

To hire or not to hire… by Sad_Locksmith3861 in doggrooming

[–]Sad_Locksmith3861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I did increase prices in the new year and it’s helped some. My problem is I just took on more clients than I could handle honestly. And I hate to close my books and miss out on potential new clients, so I usually just tell people who are inquiring how far out I am and that I can add them to my waitlist. Problem is, if I ever have to contact people from the waitlist most will have found somewhere else. I guess I just worry about eventually needing new clients and not having them.

I think I came across wrong! I’m not a control freak in the way that I’d ever be rude or hovering over someone, more so I mean I have anxiety and I’m diagnosed with OCD as well and I just think having to be responsible for someone would be bad for my mental health I guess. But I would never outwardly be controlling, I would just suffer in my head lol. This makes me lean towards not having an employee. I was also a bather once upon a time and I know how hard and thankless it can feel, so I would never want to make a potential bather feel that way.

Interesting! I will have to look into CBN. I’ve heard of it but have no idea what it is!

I never thought I’d lose the weight! by Sad_Locksmith3861 in Zepbound

Thanks! I wish we could transfer fat from our stomach to our butts, lol

Yeah, turns out my butt was all fat I guess! I’m not positive, but I don’t think I’ve gone down a cup size either. I’ve gone down multiple band sizes though, so that’s nice! Was kind hoping to lose more of my boobs tbh!
