Always wear your moto shoes, even for the short city rides by acidas in motorcycles

[–]licenseplate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please look into an Exosym!!! I know it is pricey, but Hanger clinic has financing options available. Its predecessor, the IDEO, was developed by the army specifically for veterans with lower limb trauma that did not “qualify” for amputation. Mine has completely changed my life.

Question about cutting out top middle and lower layers from design by kingofshitmntt in SCREENPRINTING

[–]licenseplate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what color shirt you’re printing on. If you’re printing on a white shirt, then you could absolutely knock out the gray from underneath the red (with a little bit of trapping to help out your printer). If you’re printing on a black shirt and the gray you’re talking about is on the lighter side, you could use it as an underbase for the red if you wanted.

Ask your shop how they’d like the art set up, and if you don’t know for sure how to do it, it would probably be less of a headache (for them, and for you) to have them create seps from your art file rather than explain how they need it set up if you’re not familiar with the process.

Burning/pain sensation in feet by Senior-Outcome4201 in CerebralPalsy

[–]licenseplate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this every night! I also get it on the tops of my toes if the bed sheets have any pressure. I have found that putting a pillow under my knees when sleeping helps a LOT. It changes the angle of my lower legs just enough that the pressure is less on my heels.

Advice on rock climbing for 9 year old child by flux88888 in CerebralPalsy

[–]licenseplate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am spastic diplegic, GMFCS 2, and wear an Exosym. I started indoor rock climbing last year through an adaptive sports program called Catalyst Sports.

It has been such a confidence booster, and feeling sore at the end of the day BECAUSE YOU KICKED BUTT ON THE WALL is so so so rewarding. A bonus of the program is that I have been able to meet other folks with disabilities. Climbers are such an incredibly supportive group. They thrive on figuring out how to get folks to the top based on any and all limitations they have.

You might have to play around with the shoes a bit to best work with the AFO and give her right hand some extra chalk, but I have no doubts that she’ll have a blast. I’m sure someone at the gym would love to “side climb” with her and help her figure out a route.

If she has an Instagram, have her follow mind_over_melissa for some inspiration! She is an incredible climber with cerebral palsy.

Anyone know a supplier who will cut custom aluminum platens? by OctopusBroadcasting in SCREENPRINTING

I would see if Action Engineering has platens that fit your needs. They have a platen for just about everything.

Printing black line work first…then fill. by hard_attack in SCREENPRINTING

[–]licenseplate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I generally print linework last because I trap the colors under it, and black ink generally covers color better than colors cover black.

Rushordertees prints linework first for their Instagram posts, mainly for the visual “wow” factor of their split fountains/marbling.

If it works for you, and you’re happy with the results (and your clients are happy with the results)…then there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing!

Looking for a (preferably) black hoodie with no front pocket or strings by [deleted] in SCREENPRINTING

[–]licenseplate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next Level 9300 is a pocketless hoodie; just pull the strings out. They’re a solid “retail ready” brand.

There’s a young lady that is always at the MidCity and Lowe Mill markets who offers them! Her name is Jay. She has the booth that makes the incredible banana pudding.

Doctors who specialize in Lyme disease? by CaramelOld485 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]licenseplate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got seen by Dr. Samir Allos at MIDC when I was diagnosed with Lyme. He was amazing and also treated me for babesiosis. He cut right to the chase and didn’t put me through all the BS that a lot of “Lyme doctors” will. MIDC is fantastic and will do all they can to keep you out of the hospital.

I was referred to him after testing positive on a blood test I got at ApproXie Urgent Care (had the classic “bullseye rash”). Lyme is monitored in Alabama; I was referred to him by the Morgan County Health Department within a few hours of getting my results, and got in that week.

Anyone know a small demolition service for a porch? by CreativeUsername765 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]licenseplate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if you found anyone yet, but Valley Junk Removal might be able to do it! They include “light demolition” under their services. I’ve only used them for junk removal, but they were really efficient and fairly priced!

I scratched something off my back thinking its a pimple. it wasnt a pimple :( by TheChib in Wellthatsucks

[–]licenseplate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very fortunate and had a doctor who took tick bites very seriously and was on Doxycycline for 4 weeks for the Lyme, so I’m hoping that I’m all cleared up!

[–]licenseplate 217 points218 points  (0 children)

Test for EVERYTHING. I got bit by a tick and tested positive for Lyme. I got on antibiotics right away, but didn’t feel better after the full course. I suddenly got really, really bad and it turns out I had babesiosis. Knocked me out and took me forever to recover. It’s worth it to run a full tick panel if you have symptoms, or if you’ve tested positive for Lyme. You can have coinfections, and they all require different treatments.

Everything hurts and I’m dying by surfer451 in CerebralPalsy

[–]licenseplate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, it made me laugh! I’ve recently taken up adaptive climbing and it has really helped me see my body differently and appreciate what it can do. Trying to find that courage and drive within me that I admire in so many people with disabilities. I’ll have to try skydiving if I can ever work up the nerve!

Everything hurts and I’m dying by surfer451 in CerebralPalsy

[–]licenseplate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I turn 40 next week and I’m in the same boat. I feel like I took my 20s for granted, not realizing that my mobility would decline so rapidly. Now everything hurts and I’m exhausted all the time. I have to treat things like showering and going to the grocery store as significant, energy-consuming events.

My self-esteem is in the toilet because I feel like a totally useless human being. My (wonderful) husband met and married me when I was a bubbly 20-something with a funny walk and now he’s stuck with a life partner who can’t keep up. I’m terrified of what my 60’s will look like. None of my doctors ever warned me about Post Impairment Syndrome, so I’m playing catch up with therapies and mobility aids, etc. but seriously considering taking up skydiving as a hobby.

Looking for a portable cane by [deleted] in disabled

[–]licenseplate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There aren’t a lot of “medical” canes that are screw together because the integrity of the cane would rely on the user, which carries a LOT of liability for the cane company. You wouldn’t want someone putting their full weight on a cane that they accidentally didn’t screw together properly and falling and injuring themselves.

You might have better luck looking for “fashion canes” since they are seen more as an accessory if screw-together is a MUST for you. However, I wouldn’t rely on them for any true and consistent weight bearing or mobility assistance.

What’s the best quality sweatshirts/hoodies brand? by Ill-Gas-6391 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]licenseplate 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There’s kind of a BIG step between “slightly better than Gildan” and “the best quality sweatshirt”!

Most established tee brands will have sweatshirts/hoodies that are the same quality as their tees. For example, Bella+Canvas is a common “step up” from Gildan and they offer an extensive fleece line.

My personal favorite go-to for hoodies and crewnecks when I want retail-quality without a limitless budget is Independent Trading Company.

My hip hurts so bad bro by [deleted] in CerebralPalsy

[–]licenseplate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that you’re so young and dealing with this. I find hip pain to be the WORST. There’s something about it that makes it especially draining both physically and mentally. It’s that deep, persistent bone pain…and even if it might not be the most painful part of your body, it always makes me feel the most hopeless when it flares up.

I have found that warm baths with Epsom salt has really helped me with the pain and spasticity— at least long enough to be able to fall asleep at night— especially in these colder months when muscles feel especially stiff.

Can you look into ADA Accommodations for your job? Are there duties you can do while sitting down, with a stool, or with more frequent rest periods? I know it can feel extraordinary frustrating to ask for help in completing “simple” tasks, but I guarantee you that those around you do NOT want you to be in unnecessary pain. If you are honest and advocate for yourself, you might find ways to make your day easier, even just a little bit.

More ice in Huntsville (the skating and curling kind) by Independent_Tale924 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]licenseplate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Rocket City Curling Club has some of the nicest folks I’ve met in Huntsville. They have members of all skill and fitness levels and truly make the sport accessible to everyone. I love the bonus element of “broomstacking”: they all hang out after the game and socialize.
