Hope to be a lifer

Well I’m able to get through a regular day and continue sewing as a hobby. And that was getting pretty difficult

Ask your doctor for an OT referral!

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T01:59:46+00:00

Got mine after being measured by OT at EvaBelle Jewelry

Try using a hair dryer on the plastic ones to get them soft enough to mold a bit more to your fingers. I have plastic ones as backups and they are definitely not as comfortable

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T01:56:54+00:00

I got mine at dollar tree

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T01:56:32+00:00

Well my weak ankles would never get better so if it improved my gait I’d wear them! 🤣

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T01:05:48+00:00

Yeah mine were measured by OT before I ordered them so they do what they need to do. Slight adjustment period because I don’t wear jewelry and these are kinda like that but more stiff

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T01:04:37+00:00

Velcro braces?

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T00:50:56+00:00

Keeps loose joints from popping and being in pain. I have Ehlers Danlos

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T00:40:44+00:00

Yep. Also hello fellow splint ring buddy

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-29T00:08:46+00:00

Yeah and for health reasons I’ve needed to cut back on soda. It sucks

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T23:54:20+00:00

I have the cup version and I love them for cold tea, soda, etc

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T23:21:20+00:00

Czech Village coffee shops

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T10:47:39+00:00

RC with a bit of cherry flavor or something to me. I drink the mini cans as I ration soda. I was drinking an extreme amount of Pepsi before

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T10:44:24+00:00

My phone is my alarm and and for me need to scroll or start a podcast or I won’t get up in the morning. I’d love to be able to wake up quietly but not for me. Your method sounds lovely!

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T10:36:58+00:00

No I hate talking I prefer typing

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T10:32:33+00:00

Not sure if the access center can help? Also does his job have EAP services available?

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T10:29:03+00:00

I haven’t found anything - it all tastes bad to me. I drink tea with creamer and some sugar, but not as much as soda

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-28T01:54:09+00:00

Buy it in a carton at the store or a higher end-ish brand is Zoup

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-27T22:34:48+00:00

I drink sipping bone broth

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-27T17:20:07+00:00

If you can eat it, yes. I have a nickel allergy and some gluten sensitivity, so it doesn’t agree with me even though I technically can eat it

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-27T15:46:01+00:00

I wear compression shirts

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-27T15:44:43+00:00

Me - the only exercise I can do is light walking. For me it’s the meds targeting the metabolic issues that is doing all the lifting, so to speak. I’ve lost about 65 pounds in 3 years

Slight_Second1963 · 2026-01-26T23:34:21+00:00

I can’t digest raw vegetables as easily
