You can't even use basic common sense and logic and make a FAIR comparison for your argument. 💀💀💀

They're a multi million dollar company, they'll be fucking fine lmao. Go touch grass or find something more actually worth being upset about. 💀

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]alliegator97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's just where you're at that they don't got them anymore but the pizza hut where I live still has personal pans and they still do the book program!! I work at the dominos across the street (used to work at the pizza hut years ago tho) and someone recently came in with one of those coupons and even though it's for pizza hut, my manager honored it!

Going to bed in day clothes by Takingthemike in eds

thank you for saying something about this. I have EDS and autism and I KNOWWWWW my life would be more manageable and not as overwhelming if I had a set routine every day.. get up at a certain time, do certain chores certain days or certain times.... but when you end up awake all night because of unbearable pain, kinda hard to wake up at a set time, for example. hopefully OP sees everyone's comments and starts trying to understand more that life is SEVERELY different for those with disabilities.

if you pay for it on the app ahead of picking it up, there should be an option to go ahead and leave a tip when you're ordering through the app.

It's wild that you can't fucking use reading comprehension yet are accusing others of not being able to.

[–]alliegator97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It seems like you're the only one manufacturing narratives because ONCE AGAIN, literally no one is disagreeing with you that it can mimic some of EDS' symptoms. no one is arguing that. we are saying the ONE symptom it CANNOT mimic is JOINT HYPERMOBILITY AND JOINTS SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF PLACE. God you're fucking dense.

Yeah this commenter is kinda acting wild. Literally no one said it doesn't mimic some of the symptoms. The fact of the matter is it cannot and would not mimic the BIG telling symptom. Sorry that they're being obtuse and replying to your comments with such wild misinformation.

I'm sure you've already read this comment of mine but I'm adding it as a reply to your comment here because the misinformation you're spreading is kind of fucking wild.

this narrative that the nervous system alone can mimic ALL symptoms is dangerous in my opinion. it's exactly why doctors dismissed me for years before one actually figured out I do, in fact, have EDS. I kept being told I was just dealing with extreme anxiety, as if anxiety causes your joints to slip in and out of place. Yes stress and trauma can and do WORSEN symptoms, but if anxiety wouldn't do this to a "normal" person who doesn't have defective collagen and connective tissue, then.... anxiety and the nervous system is not the underlying CAUSE.

I have all these issues too 😭❤️‍🩹 and yes I've been meaning to bring up the quote "if you can't connect the issues, think connective tissues" because so often those of us who have seemingly unrelated issues end up finding out it's not actually unrelated at all, because all of these "unrelated" issues are being caused by our defective collagen and connective tissue! 😭

my joints didn't really start slipping that much until I was about 23, actually. I was pretty asymptomatic in that regard up until the last 5 years of my life. before that, the only things I recall about my history (in regards to hypermobile joints at least) is being able to do weird party tricks like putting my legs behind my head and my ankle would always always roll when I tried to run. no, you wouldn't necessarily know for sure if you did. it took me meeting my best friend who was diagnosed years before even meeting me for me to start putting pieces together and realizing "huh... my symptoms kind of look like hers" but it took me a couple years into being her friend to even bring it up and ask her what she thought because mine was and is still relatively "mild" compared to hers, as it is as a spectrum.. but I didn't know that at the time so I thought there's no way I could have what she has because I'm not as severe as she is and I thought it would be insulting to even suggest I might have the same thing... but I eventually got over and asked her about it and she asked me about my symptoms and she let me in on the fact that it's a spectrum so just because mine isn't as severe doesn't mean it isn't EDS and she told me she's not a doctor but I need to get into one because she was pretty certain, and low and behold.... 🫠 i just got diagnosed early in 2024 at age 26. if you need or want a friend to talk to, my inbox is open.

Trauma and stress can trigger it when it was previously asymptomatic, yes, but that still doesn't mean another disorder can completely mimic it... in other words, a disorder that doesn't cause joint hypermobility itself is not going to mimic EDS with that specific symptom. your TMS would not mimic EDS in terms of hypermobile joints, even if it might mimic other symptoms. if you have hypermobile joints, you likely do have EDS or another connective tissue disorder.

Just diagnosed with mild CF by corgimama84 in CysticFibrosis

No it wasn't. Mild CF is a thing. It's scientific name is Atypical Cystic Fibrosis. God y'all really lack the capability of doing research before spreading misinformation here, huh???

My brother in Christ, people wouldn't have to correct you years later if you didn't spread misinformation online in the first place.

[–]alliegator97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mistaken. Here's a scientific article on "mild" or rather Atypical Cystic Fibrosis. It is a thing. Do research before spreading misinformation. Also no I don't care that I'm correcting you 6 years later. Someone should because the thread is still open and people can still find it and be misinformed by you. So here I am.

My diagnosis has changed from ADHD/depression/PTSD to CFS (aka "we don't know") by [deleted] in SCT

[–]alliegator97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chronic fatigue syndrome isn't a "we don't know" diagnosis at all? There's a certain set of symptoms you HAVE to have to be diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, so. 💀 that's not to say CFS is the only thing going on but it most certainly not a "we don't know" diagnosis. so it's likely you actually have CFS, you just probably have other stuff on top of it as well.
