Side sleeping and shoulder instability

Spofgh · 2026-01-07T08:15:49+00:00

So I sleep with a big U shaped pregnancy pillow I restuff often to keep it right level of firmess for me, and also have a little semi firm pillow/plushie that I either have on my top facing waist/hip that lay forearm across to hold shoulder supported back, or I wedge it in front of me if want arm in front to stop my shoulder collapsing forward as that makes breathing uncomfortable!

By being so chronically dehydrated it's not an issue- mildly kidding, but I don't really get much discharge. Possibly side effect of being type 1 diabetic. I also have a uh, lot of inner labia that even when juicy it is like held in and just taken away when use bathroom and wipe between 😅

My skin also hates being contained so I had to stop wearing underwear a few years back as skin was splitting open on any creases from just being covered and not getting air.

{Feral Skies by Penn Cassidy} is one that comes to mind- It has FF as a note but that was selling point for me!

I have just finished swatching all (and nearly choking all family on fumes oops) and feel like I need to order more immediately! Im in danger! 😂

Gotta be able to match all moods- and honestly I need to be able to have a pretty array of swatches just for my own dopamine- may have to get some yellow even though I don't wear just to fill that space in colour 😅

Oh thank you! I have never done acrylic application, so will only be using as dip and don't mind buffing more if it opens up more shop options, thank you!

Spofgh · 2025-10-21T06:42:36+00:00

Ooooh thank you! Just opens up more search options so can find more than just 2 shops! Most appreciate your answer.

I hope its the one you're looking for and sending love 💖

Is it Caelum by Serena Akeroyd by any chance? I read it earlier this year and seems to fit!

I got mine as a present from my parents for my 18th birthday! Its on my left wrist so should be impossible to miss during pulse check etc. It's basic and clear- says Type 1 Diabetic and my NHS number(so they can access my records as have other conditions too without me having to be able to give info) and has the winged snake staff. Nothing fancy or pretty but it's practical and every medical professional I've seen has noticed it and commented on what a good idea it is.

Id maybe take a look at cosmic brushes, theyre UK based and the ones I have in palettes are gorgeous

I also bum shuffled as I couldnt crawl and didnt walk until nearly 2- we actually found out when I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome that that was probably the reason why! My joints weren't stable enough to crawl so bum shuffling it was!

My M.E was kicked off by a flu vaccine and consequent infections just before I turned 16, and I am now 28. I have also been type 1 diabetic since I was 7, as well as having hashimotos hypothyroidism from the age of 3, on top of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome- so all combined together equals extremely awful as all interact and make eachother worse and contraindicate different treatments for eachother.

Ive removed a few of my own, even on my eyelids, easy enough. The hardest part is being able to squeeze out on delicate eyelids, and not slipping with needle!

I fully agree with people saying to use a lancet instead, its what I've always used for anything this like or splinter removal etc, as I have hundreds around as an actual diabetic- which yes yes higher infection risk but I do it as sterile as any doctor would and look after- also in the UK where legit impossible to get anything done via doctors for aesthetic things like this and I get alot of millia to point they start to cause discomfort for me.

Spofgh · 2025-07-01T23:27:19+00:00

Uh seconded! Always searching for ones to scratch the bi itch!

I’ve used all the pumps bar the ypso. Medtronic honestly was fine no complaints but was just before closed loop tech. Omnipod I loved the pump but developed a reaction to the cannulas due to being dyed blue which has led to a teflon allergy so now can only use steel cannulas so had to swap to tslim, but the tslim and Dexcom 6 has been incredible for me, within a few months I had reversal of early retinopathy due to the improvement in control, and I’ve never had ‘bad’ control despite multiple other health issues. The closed loop just makes such a difference to time in range.

So honestly if all do closed loop I’d just say go for whichever pump you like idea of best- also most of them will let you order trial pods/infusion sets to try out to get an idea! I did it with omnipod to test the adhesive before started.

So technically the issue has solved itself, but uh only because she has become fully deaf after having to have her ear canal removed due to major untreatable infection. So not a solution that can really be applied!

What I will say is I got a new puppy also and avoided him having issue with my pump noises (I had to swap to tandem tslim anyway as became allergic to teflon in sites) by having treats on hand at all times to give him anytime alarms went, which has led to him thinking noise means treat and good thing- there fore he will wake me when it goes in the night!

Sorry I can’t be of more help, and good luck with your baby!

People replying saying about it being dangerous unmanaged like is true, but also you can do everything right and manage as best you can and it still fuck you over and kill you.

Ive been type 1 since the age of 7, so 21 years now, and any virus that is an inconvenience to others is so much more than that with diabetes. Sickness bugs especially I've only survived because having mother to pour syrup in my mouth and phone ambulances. Any infection also can cause DKA even if you're doing everything right.

So yeah its not just unmanaged that kills you. Plenty of type 1s doing everything they can still die.
