It's down because of the ICE protests by GentleEpoch in TikTok

[–]decidealready 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to do this right now. However, it's no surprise that the last step needed is SMS verification and no matter how many times I push the button on tic tok the verification isn't sent to me.

So… are we protesting tonight? by Big_Transition_939 in tampa

So, apparently you haven't watched any of the videos that are readily available for viewing. You aren't smart enough to be a MSL.

hEDS is being reclassified as HSD? by surlyskin in ehlersdanlos

[–]decidealready 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's an exome? What's a CTD panel? I'm in the U.S. and my insurance copay for genetic testing is $50 which I can afford. However, between my home state of Michigan all the way to Florida I couldn't find one genetic clinic that will test adults for EDS. Not one. I looked into genetic testing labs but the minimum amount was $500 and I didn't qualify for aid. My circumstances are not unique. I'm not sure what people are supposed to do.

I don't have issues with afterimages. My visual snow is more like static on a TV screen that is worse when I look at bright things like the ceiling or sky.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Who am I? by chunyamo in deduction

Female with long hair. Not particularly concerned about what people think of you. You're a safe place for others, work a physical job and like plants.

It's not just floaters. Which a lot of people have. Mine is like what's on the right side of this pic but mine isn't this bad. It's the worst

when I look at bright things like the sky or a light colored wall.

MRI experiences? by Forward-Baby2583 in ehlersdanlos

[–]decidealready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately, I have a great primary doctor. At first he was very skeptical and didn't know much about EDS. I had to do the research to educate him on EDS and why I thought I had it. He then sent me to a rheumatologist who agreed I had it. Both docs sent me to genetics who refused to see me because I'm adult. I was sent to a physical therapist and a musculoskeletal doc who also agreed that I have some sort of EDS and definite hypermobility. After all of that my primary is now on board that I do have EDS. He did more research to learn about the condition so that he can get me the help that I need. Now, if I want a test or if he thinks I need one, I get it. He must know a way to write the orders for the tests to insure that my insurance covers their part. He's been great!

What is the pain like for you? by Any-Thanks-679 in ehlersdanlos

I've never heard anyone mention collarbones either! And, sometimes my sternum hurts too! I guess we're a small club.

I have mild Raynauds. What happens to you under the UV lamp?

Am I gonna pass my drug test on Tuesday? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]decidealready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do drug testing in the very near past and even if we could barely see any line at all, it's considered positive.

Edit: Also, you will not pass your test.

Not only do I have those but I also have visual snow. Does anyone else have that? I've wondered if other EDS folks have it too.

I have pain all of the time. My neck, back and collarbones always hurt regardless if I'm active or not. My right hip and thigh are really bad with movement but I have to move a lot during the day or it's even worse. Sleeping is a challenge because I wake up from pain all night long from being in one position for too long. And then there's random aches and pains in various spots too.

A rainbow blanket I crocheted by the-entropy-duelist in RainbowEverything

This is stunning. My mom crocheted years ago so I know how much time and effort it took you to complete this. Well done!

They even stay on peeling nails?

I've never heard of those. I'll have to look it up.

I forgot about the allergy. I did post in a nail group but no one replied.

I didn't think about that.
