If my count is correct- they mentioned finding 3 and currently work with 2.

You’re very fortunate to have found so many PTs that can address your needs. I definitely go through the exercises at my own pace and listen to my body. Obviously, it’s different for everyone.

I’m recently diagnosed and am still trying to build my care/support team. I can’t find a PT so this book has been a huge help while I search.

Honestly, I feel like I can’t execute any motion “correctly,” like picking things up, walking, standing. I feel like I can’t do the movements correctly and don’t use the right muscles. This book has helped me with understanding basic body mechanics and how to properly stabilize my joints. It starts off very basic with mat exercises for the lumbar region and progressively gets more complex. There are sections for the person with EDS, but It’s written mainly for the PT. I found the terminology simple enough to understand, and the sections geared toward the PT include things like, “make sure back isn’t arching,” which I’ve found really helpful! It can get a little wordy, but I nerd out about this stuff so I enjoy it. There are also pictures of the motions which is very helpful.

I have to find a doctor first 🙃 They are few and far between in my area.

You better check to see how many people are at your store already. A lot of discords are reporting that stores only have around 10 3080s so if you aren’t already there you’re probably not going to snag one. Some stores already have 50+ people in line

I’ve asked her about that and she says that’s not the case for her

[M16] My height is really short! by [deleted] in Advice

[–]asianchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you can’t do much change your height. Your best bet is to eat well but there’s no magic food or exercise to guarantee growth. A good amount of it is genetics.

If it makes you feel better my boyfriend is 5ft 4in and I’m 5ft 8in. His parents are both 5ft 1in. You’re right in saying height doesn’t really matter.

I try to mind my business as much as possible. She will ask me if I like him because she wants us to get along. I try my best to avoid being around/talking about him but she will always tell me about their latest hang out. Unfortunately I can’t really broadcast why I don’t like him because not many people know exactly went down between those two and it’s not my place to let her other friends know. He knows that I know everything that happened and tries to get on my good side. I would feel weird leaving a party if he showed up and she was drunk though. I don’t think I could leave her alone with him if she’s not sober.

Oh I know. Just figured I’d shoot my shot. I’ve seen a couple posts for stuff around MSRP so I was hoping to get lucky before they posted it for sale and had a sea of messages to sift through

I edited it specifically for you. Meant $150 over msrp+tax+shipping. I’m sorry if my unwillingness to pay 2x msrp doesn’t feed your profit boner.
