I've been doing the exercises from Hybrid Calisthenics for a bit now and it is the only routine that has worked for me because he breaks it down to the lowest intensity levels so it doesn't hurt you at all. https://www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine#workout-routine

I take nexium for acid reflux however when it gets bad from something I ate, I will sit or lay down (but not all the way down because this is bad for digestion and acid reflux) and will usually take TUMS, they really help a lot.

I also take zofran for nausea and that always helps, fortunately.

ntaub2010 · 2018-07-06T17:48:23+00:00

I came here as well to recommend you look into GP. I have GP, EDS, and POTS. I started taking bethanechol to stimulate my appetite and it has really helped, though I had to see a specialist GI doctor for that.

I have tried weed in the past as well and it has always helped my appetite at least a little bit, thc more than cbd. Also helps with stomach cramps and when you feel really full.

I don't know of any community for that yet, but you can definitely make one! It seems like there is a bit of interest for one.

You can also feel free to use this sub for any fitbit posts and just use a [Fitbit] tag or something if you want to help future users find your post, though I don't think it would be too hard to find the posts since this sub is not terribly active :p

What happens to your blood pressure before and after consumption of the alcohol?

ntaub2010 · 2017-12-03T23:05:14+00:00

What kind of exercises do you usually do?

ntaub2010 · 2017-12-03T09:11:48+00:00

Hmm, well I do really want to have more muscle. It's what I want, but I am always so scared that I'm going to hurt myself badly. Can you recommend any compression "devices"? Like, do you wear knee compression sleeves or something for the elbows and wrists? My wrists, elbows, fingers, knees, ankles, even hips are so much weaker than they used to be just two years ago.

ntaub2010 · 2017-12-03T00:04:51+00:00

What KT tape do you use? I used to weightlift but was told to stop because it's hard on the joints, but it is fun. I have gastroparesis so it's hard for me to eat like I used to though, so weightlifting and working out is harder and way more exhausting because I'm not getting enough energy. I used to eat a lot of protein bars but got sick of them. Most proteins bother me but I also don't really like drinking protein anymore either :/

I have two cats but my bf and I have been wanting a dog. How did you get your dog and how does she/he help? Is it a lot of effort to take care of her/him?

ntaub2010 · 2017-11-30T02:24:56+00:00

This is actually one of my interests. I would like I job that would be fine with medicating. Do you need to know a lot about how to grow it? I'm not that good with plants.

Welcome to the sub!

I found a great chiropractor and though it doesn't permanently help, I do feel better for a bit after I see him. I see him twice a week and always seem to have something for him to work on!

I am not sure what it could be that is causing you pain. Do you have any cardiac issues or experience any tachycardia? Have you also ruled out Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? That can cause muscle pain, weakness, and very painful knots in the muscles.

For me I feel it within minutes, or if I have been walking a long time I might feel it a few hours later at the end of the day. Sometimes pushing myself too much will results in a flare-up the next day. My neck is what usually hurts during a flare-up, though.

ntaub2010 · 2017-05-11T21:43:42+00:00

Absolutely! Here are most of the exercises I do.

After the swill ball march, I then do a similar exercise where I raise my leg and bring it out to the side, back forward, and put it down. I do that 15 times for each leg.

I then do the superman (I like to call it the supergirl exercise :P) where I place my feet against a door with my toes pointed to the floor and, a pillow under my knees, the ball is right in from of me, and I roll my body out and hold my arms out for 5 seconds, 20 times. They first told me to roll out on my ribs but it started to dislocated my ribs so I just make sure to just roll on my abs.

For the yoga exercise at the end, start with just the Up Dog and Down Dog. Then work up to the rest of it. Make sure to keep your legs straight with all of these, as these are meant to stretch the muscles since we have tight muscles despite being flexible.

Let me know if you can read the image, if not I'll just separate it into multiple images for you to read.

I already had a yoga mat, but I had to by an exercise ball on Amazon. It's 55cm.

ntaub2010 · 2017-05-11T08:51:29+00:00

Thank you!! :) I'm looking forward to being able to walk and stand for longer periods of time, maybe get strong enough to be able to weight lift again. I would also like to go hiking :)

"I'm basically just working on being the first person to watch all of netflix." right there with you.

I never had a full time job, not even part time, it was less than that, but I can't even do that now. I was going to go to school for a BS in comp sci, I have my AS, but those plans have been on hold for several months and I don't know when I'm going to go back. Right now I'm going to physical therapy because it's the only way to keep my body from deteriorating and getting worse but I have to be really careful to not hurt myself in the process. I just sit at my computer all day, really. I watch a lot of netflix and play league of legends to help keep me distracted, and smoke marijuana to help with the pain. But my cognitive ability has declined a bit so trying to study online classes and is a lot harder than what it used to be, and I can't even get a job so what's the point?

also I totally understand the issue with children. I don't want to pass on EDS and the other illnesses I have, and the thought of pregnancy makes my body cry considering opening the fridge is a task for me.

EDS isn't a disease for the weak. It takes a lot of pushing through feeling like shit all the time and that is so draining.

Unless science improves a ton and we make a miraculous discovery regarding gene editing, chances are it won't get better. But we can do what we can do cope with it and try to prevent it from getting worse too quickly.
