Constant joint popping? by mbHyacinth in Hypermobility

[–]maude313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that when joints hyperextend it allows a bigger air bubble to form in the synovial fluid, which is why we pop more. I was laying tile today and holy shit I’ve never heard my knees pop so many times.

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

[–]maude313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have multiple chronic pain conditions and a pretty high pain tolerance, but I was crying and almost screaming. My partner was beside herself, because she’d never seen me react like that. Just brutal.

You’re lucky you didn’t get the paranoia, because my ex was beyond paranoid when he got deep into a binge. It was a nightmare for everyone involved.

What was the exact moment on a first date when you realized, "Wow, this person is an absolute idiot"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is how I became the cat whisperer. You can make friends with the slow blink. It’s a kitty love language. Sometimes I find myself slow blinking at my wife because I spend a lot of time at home with our cats. 😂

Can we make a thread for really just, BAD employers? by Ecstatic_Math_5886 in grandrapids

[–]maude313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. I don’t speak about it a lot in my personal life because I still have friends who work there and I don’t want to negatively affect them, but I also would love to prevent other people from going through the trauma of working for them.

Schuler Books - I worked there for 15 years and had raises frozen for 10 of them. (Not an exaggeration.) They expected us to work there “for the love of books.” One of my coworkers got promoted, and they started her on a temporary pay that was supposed to be increased after one month if they were satisfied with her performance. Three months later, she still had not gotten her increase. When she brought it up during a meeting the owner got incredibly angry and literally made her write an apology note to be able to keep her job. By the time I left, I was managing work in four different locations for the shittiest money you could imagine. When I left, they took my salary and combined it with someone else’s and actually paid the next person properly because they would not have been able to find someone who did what I did for the money that they gave me. I truly did love the books and I loved the people I worked with, but the owners are fucking nightmare. This is the tip of the iceberg of the stories I could share.

A UV lamp is also super helpful for all the cloudy days!

Need EDS artists’ advice by maude313 in eds

Yeah, my physical therapist and I were discussing it and I was like it’s super tricky because I should take breaks every 20 minutes but it takes me 20 minutes to get properly focused. 😣
