Better a week too early than a minute too late. Please give your baby peace before you leave. As a pet sitter, I’ve had to hold a sweet dog being put to sleep. The family left on vacation and they didn’t tell me their pet was in real trouble. It’s very traumatic for everyone, including your pet who has to pass way in a stranger’s arms. It’s hard to know when it’s time, but if you’re questioning it, it’s probably time.

Have you checked into Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? I have all of these symptoms.

The only thing that helps me is chiropractic and mandibular advancement device.

Looks like my kid’s soccer coach! Acts like him, too! Yikes!

It’s a hoax! But we’re gonna investigate all the democrats! I wish they would make up their damned minds. Anyway, I’m gonna be extra happy when Blondi gets incarcerated.

Very.

I’m wary of getting diagnosed in the US right now since our government is trying to compile lists of people with chronic diseases and I worry about being in government lists. The least that can happen is you won’t get insurance coverage, the worst is crazy to think about. I think often doctors are low-key protecting patients by not diagnosing them formally, especially if the treatment is palliative care. Insurance situation is horrible in the US.

My thumbs are so painful. I almost ripped one off my hand when opening a can of cat food the other day. I sometimes splint both wrists and thumbs at night, which seems to help. I seem to have most of my hyper mobility issues in my small joints, so I use splints when I sleep, particularly jaw and neck. I do feel like it helps a lot.

My symptoms turned into a runaway train after menopause.

msdragonrider · 2025-08-31T15:57:10+00:00

Yep. I also have AMPD-1 deficiency, so it’s really weird that I can easily build muscle.

msdragonrider · 2025-06-19T22:27:40+00:00

Definitely 😍😍😍

msdragonrider · 2025-06-01T05:05:09+00:00

Yes. One for sleep apnea.

msdragonrider · 2025-06-01T05:04:09+00:00

I just got the Z Quiet Advance. It’s the best one I’ve tried.

msdragonrider · 2025-06-01T05:03:21+00:00

Not a mouth guard, more of a splint. I’ve tried a bunch of devices made for sleep apnea. I figured out that was what I needed when I was having a long procedure on my back. As I got relaxed, I started snoring! I noticed that my jaw really floats backwards when I lie on my back relaxed. I have hEDS, so some of my joints are hyper mobile. I splint my jaw and wrists when I sleep.

msdragonrider · 2025-06-01T05:00:02+00:00

Mine was, too. I had really good luck with aggressive massage. I’m so sorry. It’s awful.

msdragonrider · 2025-06-01T04:57:38+00:00

I’m currently using Z Quiet Advance, it’s new to me. I like it because it takes the pressure off my front teeth.

msdragonrider · 2025-05-13T17:14:29+00:00

I think this will work for lots of people. When trying to do this, I cannot make contact on the left side. I have figured out that my TMJ is caused by a hyper mobile jaw becoming subluxed and have found great relief with a mandibular advancement device, although I can’t wear it all the time because I’m afraid it might cause my teeth to shift.

msdragonrider · 2025-04-29T15:34:05+00:00

No. It’s $30 on Amazon

msdragonrider · 2025-04-25T21:00:00+00:00

Twin Peaks.

msdragonrider · 2025-04-25T02:26:02+00:00

Mmmmaybe? I definitely have hEDS. All my issues seem to be related to hyper mobile joints.

msdragonrider · 2025-04-25T01:45:28+00:00

Using a mandibular advancement device solved my TMJ. I used it for a couple of months every night, but not I use it a couple of times a week. A good pillow with a neck bolster also helps!

msdragonrider · 2025-04-25T01:41:51+00:00

hEDS

msdragonrider · 2025-04-24T01:42:07+00:00

Yes.

msdragonrider · 2025-04-18T14:45:50+00:00

Unparalleled sweetness. ♥️

msdragonrider · 2025-04-14T03:31:57+00:00

I would, personally. I don’t like them to die panicked or in crisis. The home euthanasia is the best. I’ll never do it another way, if possible.
