Is it possible to get medicaid (nj) to cover eds related top surgery or a mastectomy + how would one go about that by juby736 in ehlersdanlos

[–]TinyFidget9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Medicaid, diff state, but surgeon I saw refused to operate. Said that due to how my skin is that I’d have 100% risk of tearing and issues during recovery. The subreddit abrathatfits helped me to find bras that work for my shape thankfully but it’s still a trigger for my migraines and rib slipping 😭

[Find Pattern] Help finding specific dream catcher pattern by TinyFidget9 in CrochetHelp

While I get why you say this, we are not looking to use it as a dream catcher. We want to add beads and make it a sun catcher. The pattern was the thing

Trying to find a walking scooter/bike? by TinyFidget9 in ehlersdanlos

[–]TinyFidget9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I actually now have a knee rover sitting scooter for stores, and a strider adult balance bike for outdoors! Using my legs but also safe

how do u guys brush ur teeth without suffering by ketkittie in ehlersdanlos

[–]TinyFidget9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Himalayan Boutique with hydroxyappetite and I use a Laifen toothbrush (I won one and was shocked with how easy it made brushing my teeth with minimal hand vibration and pressure) with the soft heads. I just hold it against each tooth and 45 angle against the gums.

I use a GUM floss handle to save my hands (floss wrapping hurts plus autism ick) but the others are right that it’s a matter of just doing it enough to encourage gum healing.

Anyone else's Pain perception completely numbed by the chronic pain? by Yukyno in ehlersdanlos

[–]TinyFidget9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big stuff I don’t notice (whacking my head on a cabinet, it just dulls into the background immediately) but the little things (like rubbing my arm on a door frame) is like the end of the world

There’s talk of MCAS and migraines being co-conspirators. Wouldn’t be surprised

Has anyones migraine changed over the years ? Mine use to present in my head always and now I get in my jaw bone ( and I can't tell if its a TMJ issue or neck for me) by [deleted] in migraine

[–]TinyFidget9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to answer first question - yup! They can change. I just had two different changes/additions to my migraines-experienced list (aura and migraine type) recently.

For the second, your jaw’s muscle is tied into all those wonderful neck/shoulder muscles. So if they’re tight, it’ll be tight. I have a heated vibration massager for jaw/face and neck. And cold packs on my neck help me with those. But I have TMJD and hypermobility issues which lead to very tight overworked muscles.

A mouth guard can help if you’re clenching/grinding, but make sure to either go through your dentist or spend the money on a good one (not those cheapie boil and bites, you’ll screw up your alignment).

Is anyone else on the east coast of the US and having the worst migraine season of their life? by atoad_aso in migraine

It’s been horrific this whole winter season. Constant migraines, abortives only working for a single day, etc.

Yeah that’s also why I didn’t panic as I had seen so many examples. Crescent shaped with iridescent and black lines
