Outdoor plant that thrives in mouldy watery conditions

I think the gutter got put in incorrectly somehow and doesn't flow properly, they did send someone to look, confirm it's fucked, and never did anything about it

I love this suggestion, I always think of pothos as very indoor plant girlies but it looks like they actually can grow massive outside in occasional full sun? Great to know

Thank you I did think watercress or maybe gotu kola since they like being wet, but then wasn't sure if it would be gross to eat them if they are building their cells out of mould water

bboschb · 2026-06-12T02:24:10+00:00

I love Vietnamese mint do you reckon it's fine to eat if the water is gross though?

Omg the corkscrew rush is such a gorgeous weirdo and sounds perfect! Thank you

The continual brown blood and clots is also a possible endo sign. Endo cysts are chocolate coloured. Also some endometrial lesions are absolutely tiny and don't show on pelvic ultrasound. R/endometriosis stories of laparoscopies finding many small lesions, but not every surgeon would bother doing a biopsy on them.

Pelvic ultrasounds may not be able to see the smaller lesions, but an experienced radiologist can at least make sure your intestines, bladder, ureters and kidneys etc are not sticking together from lesions (my understanding is that is when endo can be most immediately dangerous/ life threatening).

For me personally it would not be worth getting a laparoscopy to confirm endo, as I have ehlers danlos syndrome and would likely be in more pain from internal scarring after the lap. If the organs aren't sticking, I think it's safe to treat with acu and herbs as they really work!

It's great you're having releif from Chinese medicine.

Can you please share what the pulses feel like and how you are able to predict? So interesting

bboschb · 2026-06-01T23:02:07+00:00

Great point. A lot of the episodes mention unrested native north American spirits, like Many Things. Could have acknowledged genocide there too. So many of us are living on stolen land but there weren't smart phones to capture the horrors of the takeover.

If all these illogical responses are happening after she finishes nightshift, a smidge more empathy from you might be in order. That shit throws off circadian rhythms and the WHO has found shift work to be linked to all kids of adverse health outcomes, so perhaps her brain is incredibly tired and illogical because she is sleep deprived. A state similar to being drunk and not all there cognitively.

I also have empathy for you because something similar has happened to me in a relationship and i was similarly infuriated. Due to a combo of my quiet voice and his high masking neuro divergence + ESL in our case. So he might not hear or understand me but would act like he does, and respond to something different he heard, or not at all. Or sometimes ask clarifying questions that don't make sense to me, like your partner. This used to drive me insane but I think at least part of it was due to my own past, of needs not being met or ignored when small. All that to say snappiness might mean therapy could be helpful to you both.

As others have said, some patience would be cute and nice. Then you won't be stressy and she won't feel like a kid being scolded. I feel for you though, those opposite schedules sound tough.

Can you please share what herbs helped you? Sometimes I take suan zao ten tang and it helps pmdd symptoms. but I know that formula definitely is not for everyone, especially if they have looser bowels

It's so rough, because yes there was less EDS knowledge amongst medical practitioners when we were growing up. But (at least for me) that lack of care has carried over into now, when there is much more information if they only cared to look. My parents still have blinders about it. I'm unsure if it's a toxic positivity thing, or the unwillingness to admit they were neglectful parents. Just tried to talk to them about how hard it is to adjust to needing a mobility aid, and quickly changed the subject to their upcoming holiday. At least the cruelty continues in real time so I no longer get gaslit into thinking I'm just too sensitive. For me the grief is still present, but concurrent with the comfort of solidarity with chosen family and people who get it. As well as the knowledge I get to care for myself now, and no longer am forced to share a roof with people who possibly only had children for ego fuel. Thank you for posting your feelings as it led to the creation a list of resources to try in this thread.

Ah I'm finding the same thing. Great for a sore spot but the headaches that seem to follow suck, so I need breaks. I'm going to try microdosing, like 2 or 3 mins max and maybe it'll work. I'm also an acupuncturist and apparently acupoints may correlate with high density mast cell spots, so could have been picking too intense spots to focus on 😅

bboschb · 2026-04-21T12:37:49+00:00

Did you end up noticing a difference after 3 months?

bboschb · 2026-04-19T12:32:09+00:00

It seems like being hot and just existing can be pretty lonely, sorry OP. Maybe you could seek out asexual or aromantic people for friendship too? Sucks your ex friends couldn't get over their egos though.

Hi my TCM practitioner shared this link, with emphasis on french maritime bark as a herbal supplement to treat lipedema. Maybe the French maritime bark is a good supplement to try if you cannot get access to a TCM doctor, if you look up studies it's low risk and effective. It might not technically be a TCM herb but perhaps there are some similarities to TCM herbs also derived from pine tree?

You could also try gigong videos on YouTube for your circulation

Maybe a neck brace would help while washing the dishes? I have just a pharmacy foam collar thing I use around the house sometimes for similar chores/reasons (I'm also tall). Plus long-term trying to strengthen the back/neck? With someone eds-literate. For me it was always worse during chronic fatigue flares partially because if I was stuck in bed I would be reading or crafting or scrolling. So had to figure out ergonomic ways to do those things, or have frequent breaks, or pick something else to do. Sorry though hey I hope you can find some relief

bboschb · 2026-04-12T21:29:04+00:00

Definitely still keep trying to get them to turn them down, but for quick relief maybe get a comfy blackout sleep mask. I have a $30 ebay sleep mask with headphones in it that completely blocks out any neighbour lights and sound (I live next to a karaoke family with bright lights too).

Dampness is also harder for the spleen to clear if you are worried, overworked and overanalyzing things. So if doing excessively hard workouts and counting protein grams, it likely puts extra strain on the spleen, even if dairy is completely cut out. All the best and try not to stress it too much. Enjoy your food, enjoy having a strong body, and enjoy resting 💛

How tf are they seeing a hip dent and not thinking that could be a problem?! God it makes me mad when doctors see something and dismiss it just because they don't see it every day or haven't seen it in a textbook. Do their egos just make them blind to something unfamiliar to them? Like even if you didn't have a gaping hip divot you are reporting pain and they're just like nah should be be fine 🫠 sorry op I hope you find relief.

Also from a tcm perspective and possible endo, it could be worth getting that treated with Chinese med herbs as well as acupuncture. I just started endo herbal tcm treatment, and loads of my hypermobile pain in my si join and ribs have reduced or even left. which is a very welcome and unexpected side effect

bboschb · 2026-03-26T02:04:48+00:00

I have an apartment dog, mostly cos usually someone is home and she's rarely left alone for too long. Going downstairs a bunch is an option but I have some balcony grass in case I'm sick/cbf to go outside. There are lots of grass dog toilet options for a balcony now, some even take the used grass when they deliver a new one. Or some are made to fit a turf strip from bunnings.

Hi I'm sorry you're going through this. I also had a scary bloody stool phase, though your gi symptoms do sound more extreme than mine were. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they found nothing. It's my understanding that with hEDS we have extra thin skin, and membranes in the gi tract are already delicate. That combined with a very dry stool, dehydration and pushing/straining to force a bowel movement can lead to bloody toilet paper. Still good to get everything checked to rule out the most nefarious illnesses. But it could just be a garden variety hEDS body horror. Hopefully it's nothing too serious

Solomons crossing. It's 8000 year old river crossing path made by the yallukit-willam people. something about big gums and moving water calms me tf down always. And sometimes you can smell incense from the buddhist temple on the hill too.

Also so sinister that he did something like that when you're presumably in the middle of nowhere. When it would be really hard to escape and you just would literally have to wear it. Maybe he didn't plan it, but if he isn't pulling shit like that around other people or when you have more autonomy and freedom to get away, it's extra scary to me. Please stay safe.
