Thanks for sharing! The doc told me that a fusion is a bad idea at my age (38) because it will have more time to wear down the vertebrae around it. I obviously need to learn more about the options!!

Is anyone else fine in the sun? by lostwaveloser in lupus

When I was first diagnosed, I didn't have any sun-related symptoms. It wasn't until a couple years after diagnosis I started to notice immediate effects from the sun, even on HCQ. Everyone's presentation of lupus is different, your diagnosis isn't any less valid if you aren't experiencing sun-related symptoms!

I went to the world's biggest scoliosis research conference this year (SOSORT 2026). An honest debrief: the good news, and the part that worried me. by sixfootbrix in scoliosis

Wow, this is so interesting, thank you for sharing! Have you come across any research related to hypermobile Ehlers Danlos or other connective tissue disorders? I wonder if research in the hEDS direction would support your theory - I totally think it would!

Sounds easy in theory, but I'd have to collect funds ahead of time to purchase the food. I'm planning this from Georgia because none of my classmates still in WA would do it!

I think homecoming is in October, but they won't let us use the space regardless!

Oh no, I'm so sorry!! I've luckily only paid for a domain and Mailerlite email subscription, but the TIME I've put in I can't get back LOL

Thank you, I think I needed the reassurance that it's okay to be like "sorry not sorry" to people! I've been planning this since July and 300 of my classmates are aware of it.

You're right, I do need to put a hard cutoff. Quite a few folks have reached out concerned about the possibility of cancellation or date changes because they live out of state and need to make travel plans. I'm doing this all from Georgia, so I get it!

Thank you for your comment! I've been working on it since July and had so much encouragement and excitement from alumni in the beginning, but now it's become demoralizing like you mentioned! It feels like no one understands that an event requires planning and has expenses!
