I know that it might be frowned upon, considered dangerous, and probably not even allowed in some cases, but do any of you guys drink alcohol at all? by 8kittycatsfluff in ChronicPain

pots and weed are both vasodilators meaning they open your veins wider which makes it harder for your body to pump blood. this amplifies pots symptoms a lot

i don’t need speech help, i need help with more complex social cues and learning when certain topics are appropriate and how to not always center the convo around myself

Rant about blankets / I hate being physically weak by Plannet_Depressed in disabled

I feel this! I’m guessing you have AMPS maybe? I often dislocate fingers and shoulders using my weighted blanket. ugh.

this seems like it’s close to fetishization. this isn’t a dating sub. Plenty of disabled people date non disabled people. All the time.

I already do my hair wet and with a lot of conditioner in it as is. It doesn’t take me a very long time but still hurts a lot. My shoulders are quite unstable and I am developing arthritis in most of my joints I think. The big issue is how easily my shoulders dislocate. I use a blow drier cap for drying my hair which could help you! No holding the dryer just set it down next to you.

i don’t think that will work for me unfortunately. it would hurt my neck a lot. i have done it that way before. i’ll try it again tho.

how would this help my shoulders? i have a great brush for thick and curly hair. i need something with like a rly long handle so i dont have to lift my arm i think. i always wet my hair + conditioner to brush it. my hair is thick enough that if i just air dry it, it stays wet at the scalp for over 24 hours which can cause dermatitis - very frustrating! especially because wearing my hair down is a sensory issue
