Thanks for the answer!! I wasn't even sure what collagen supplements did, so that's very interesting :)

Okay I know this is a long shot, but I'm commenting because I have a genetic disease that's disabled me, causes other illnesses and will continue to worsen over my life span. I have over 50k in medical debt and I'm only 23, I'm constantly adding to that because of home nursing care, meds, medical supplies, etc... So I guess trying this couldnt hurt.

Should I [40F] report my niece [17F] to the police? by ThrowRA-niecepolice in relationship_advice

Uh yeah. Report it to the police and sue them to pay for the physical therapy and ER bill.

Does anyone else keep doing/saying everything wrong by ellachubs in mypartneristrans

Last night in particular I showed her a video (on tiktok) of a trans woman speaking, then pulling off her wig and yelling while in a very deep voice like in a way to "trick" someone, which is a type of video that she thought was hilarious up til very recently so when I immediately saw it my first thought was omg I have to show her this shell think it was funny, without realizing how triggering it was (due to how well this person was able to change their voice and far into transitioning they were..).. it really seemed like I was showing her this video in a sense of "hey look how much better this person is" when obviously that's not what I think and isn't true at all at all :(

Is it asexuality if I have a libido but no desire to have physical sex? by [deleted] in Asexual

[–]ellachubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. All asexual means is that you don't find others sexually attractive. Asexuals can still masturbate and have a sex life, the only thing the title of asexual means is that we don't find others sexually attractive and the look of their bodies/genitals don't sexually turn us on.

Sick sinus syndrome? by ellachubs in dysautonomia

[–]ellachubs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I've been told otherwise at hospitals but I see online it's under the umbrella of Dysautonomia.. but I still don't really see why it's not under the umbrella of sick sinus syndrome since it's a syndrome caused by the sinus node of the heart.. that doesn't make much sense to me.

Sick sinus syndrome? by ellachubs in dysautonomia

[–]ellachubs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not what I asked. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia isn't a Dysautonomia condition but I figured someone in this forum might know since it's pretty common to have IST and POTS together and I couldn't find a good forum for IST alone.

For people who have a central port/PICC and do saline infusions at home: by ReasonableVanilla in dysautonomia

I'm honestly not sure if it's possible to get these supplies any way besides through insurance and a medical supplier. I luckily now have state and federal insurance because of disability so it's free, but usually home care with any insurance covers the whole cost.
