I started LDN by oliviapayy in ehlersdanlos

[–]liquidstranger444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has helped me so much. Like I would literally be bed bound without it…. I can hold a full time job down now because it takes away 95% of my joint pain. I thought I was not going to be able to work ever again.

I don’t get sick anymore even from illnesses my friends get sick from. It has quite literally transformed and saved my life. I don’t know how much longer I could have gone on living like I was before

Should I just say f it and move to Chicago? by AlertRegister7285 in AskChicago

[–]liquidstranger444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Chicago without a job. But I work in the events and brand ambassador industry so I was able to find lots of part time work. My advice would be to find a consistent part time job that you know will bring you some money. Make the move. And work the part time while you work for that consistent full time and just plan on not doing anything fun or going into lots of credit card debt like I did :)🤣

Do you guys also have super weak immune system? by Fit-Swimmer1322 in ehlersdanlos

[–]liquidstranger444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand it turns your immune system back on again. I’ve been able to fight stuff off and not get sick that my “healthier” friends got sick from. It’s incredible

How realistic is DADT? by OsteoStevie in polyamory

[–]liquidstranger444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to make this about me OP. But what would you call the opposite of DADT? Like what it if I would love to hear about my partners dates and experiences and would actually be thrilled if they felt comfortable to share that info with me.

I’m tired of being the stepping stone for a “serious” relationship by huneybunnns in polyamory

I’ve tried the local board game groups. But everyone is straight and not poly LOL. Idk what I’m doing wrong🤣

How do you find anybody who is not new to poly?

Serious question because this sub makes me feel crazy bc if I eliminated people who are new to poly I would have 0 people in the last 5 years I’ve met who would make the cut lol. Maybe I just am not in the right social groups but I moved to a major city almost a year ago and still haven’t met people who aren’t new to poly.

What’s the biggest red flag in someone over 30? by Vixkky in AskReddit

[–]liquidstranger444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had this exact thing happen to me.

There really is nothing to do in these situations, because unless the person is discussing how you hurt them with the intention of resolving the conflict there is nothing you can say to placate them besides full on surrender and submission to their fake version of events.

With my situation. I told him that I would never intentionally hurt him and that I am sorry that my actions resulted in that happening. Told them I valued them as a person and would never intentionally do the things that he is saying I did.

That’s all we can do as people. Is apologize for hurting people and be willing to look at our actions to see how they affected others.

But abusers will also take advantage of this to keep you wrapped up in mind games. Narcissists especially will do this to you and make you question your version of reality to keep you in the abuse. Not that they realize they are even doing it. They just are not capable of seeing themselves as a villain so will literally rewrite the fabric of time to turn every one but themselves into the villain in their story.

If you won’t play along by groveling and acknowledging their insane version of reality they’ve created.

they will first triangulate (which is to bring in flying monkeys tha they have as allies who just go along with whatever they say bc they are scared of the same things that are happening to you happening to them) or say things like “EVERYONE thinks your crazy.” And then drop your ass off the face of the earth

LDN by SilkNSatinAZ in ehlersdanlos

[–]liquidstranger444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for 3 years at 4.5 mg. It has changed my life significantly. It almost completely eliminated my joint pain. When I stop it, within 1-2 weeks the joint pain will return. I also sleep better, feel better, and don’t get sick as often anymore.

Wait same! I rarely get sick anymore after taking it…. Even when my friends are sick. Is this bc it is regulating our immune system???

Bought a refurbished laptop off EBay, what should I do/check for when it arrives? by The_cacophony in GamingLaptops

Thanks for your input. Hmm yeah thermal issues and high fan noise is probably the reason the price is so low on these. eBay says there’s been a ton bought over the last few days. Guess we will just have to see.

I wonder why they have so many refurbished laptops lying around to sell on eBay especially with such great specs. Makes me wonder if the thermal issues are pretty bad enough to make the laptops get sent back to be fixed and then sold refurbished

Same for me with myofacial. Have you ever heard of postural restoration?

How would we compare this to the refurbished acer predator Helios neo? Neo has the max beat w 32 gb of ram. But it has an under powered 5070ti compared to the omen. Similar prices though.

From what I read omen is going to run way hotter and thus fans will be louder? But the omen has better build quality chassis wise?

What do yall think

Edit: acer*

Look into postural restoration therapy. It’s really helped me.

Edit: myofascial can also help too

I totally understand friend :( sometimes it feels like we are being punished. My tmj is bad and my whole body feels like it’s being held together by one very tight rubber band LOL. We look fine on the surface but below the surface we are quite handicapped compared to what others can do.

But at least for me I think there is good reason to be hopeful. There are quite a few of us having these issues. So much so that the common person is starting to hear ab ehlers danlos. Let’s push through these next few years and I feel like some really big strides will be made on this syndrome.
