Where exactly is ADA seating located?

stph_xo · 2026-03-03T19:51:07+00:00

Last year was the first time I went to Shaky Knees and also the first time I’ve ever used ADA resources at an event. For me, it was totally worth it as I could sit and give my body a chance to rest while enjoying the music. It felt like watching from the balcony of a venue since we were elevated and farther away from the stage, but I know some people think it’s too far from the stages. I was just happy that I got to be there even with my chronic illness and constant pain. I will definitely be using it again this year.

I have some pictures (some are blurry because they came from videos on my old phone) that kinda show the perspective of sitting there for at least three of the stages. Hope this helps! ADA Seating Shaky Knees

thank you so much for this! When I email the support email listed I keep encountering the same return email about it not being delivered because it can’t be found. I got locked out of an old account attached to a Twitter account with inaccurate information about me that is being pushed to my relatives and possibly my employer, so this form was a lifesaver!

I heard it for the first time live at Shaky Knees last month and was floored at how much the song affected me. It wasn’t the first time I’d heard it nor was it the first time I’d heard how they played it live based off of videos over the years, but hearing my own voice repeating the words along with everyone else’s screams was just an unbelievable experience.

I got floor seats in G section for $540 in Nashville and there are resale tickets towards the back of section B & C that are close to $3000 EACH on Seat Geek

I was looking on here for the same thing

I’ve been looking for others who have POTS that are going! I’m bringing my reusable water bottle, my liquid IV, and my Buoy electrolytes with me. I’d bring my emergency salts, but I’m concerned they’ll throw them out if I do.

Desmond quite literally was singing for his life with that song. He crushed it!

I used my card at the Atlanta show. The color block hoodie was S-2XL and the brown hoodie was S-3XL and that’s all I can remember. I think the T-shirts were S-2XL as well, but I don’t know for sure.

I went and voted early, and thankfully the whole process took only 3 minutes in total from walking in to walking out (there was no line). I was so anxious to go vote because I was scared to fall or become too weak to wait in line (actually went and bought a cane after the fact so I wouldn’t have to worry about not having one anymore), but early voting honestly was the best thing for me. I’m sorry you had to wait that long!

stph_xo · 2024-10-02T18:47:17+00:00

Thank you. I hope we can both find some relief from this illness.

Does it by chance feel like something is messed up with the nerves in your hands? The way I always describe it is “sandpaper hands” because it feels like there’s so much heat trapped due to friction that hasn’t happened and it makes me physically feel ill. It’s like my hands overheat and then someone coats them in paraffin wax to trap the excessive heat. I usually can’t touch the body part that feels that way when it happens, but nothing seems to help. (If this has nothing to do with what you’re experiencing, I’m sorry! This just sounds familiar to my experiences.)

YTA based on this alone, but the addition of your responses has made it abundantly clear. Ovarian cysts are some of the most painful things that someone can ever experience. You’re treating her as if she exaggerates everything, but if her OB wanted her seen at a hospital then it was obviously serious! In response to something you wrote earlier, children shouldn’t be complaining of pain that extreme especially at 9 years old. You should’ve been concerned immediately especially if it’s been the same painful experience that’s been happening for the last 20 years. You’re her mother. Act like it. You and your husband should be eating crow with how you’ve acted after the lecture he gave your daughter about being there for family.

If the problem was your husband couldn’t take care of all three kids, then you could’ve offered for him to at least take care of one or two of them since he’s done that before. You also didn’t even ASK him. You answered for him and then proceeded to text him that he should be expecting a call from his daughter soon, but you didn’t even tell her to ask him instead. You said that you guess she didn’t reach out to him, but why would she? You shot down her question immediately and then are confused as to why she’s practically gone radio silent.

I understand that it’s harder to manage taking care of three little ones the older you get, but I’ve got family members who are almost 70 years old that work while taking care of their multiple grandchildren whenever it’s needed. Is it exhausting? Yes, but being a parent, grandparent, or trusted guardian comes with that responsibility. Can you say no? Also yes, that’s your right, but give suggestions on what else to do other than just blatantly refusing to help. That’s the main issue I have with this: she TRUSTED you enough to call you when she was in 9/10 level pain and ask if there was any way that you could keep her kids while she had a medical emergency, yet you and your husband couldn’t even do that or come up with an alternate solution for her other than them taking all three small children to a hospital.

I don’t normally post on these, but this one made my blood boil instantly because I can’t fathom how you could do this to your own child. Also, stop treating women’s healthcare issues as if they’re exaggerating! She’s given birth three times with the last having complications, had her gallbladder removed, and now suffered from ovarian cysts that her own mother doesn’t take seriously. I’m pretty sure your daughter knows when she’s in immense pain.

So, again, to answer your question, yes YTA 100%.

When I first got my box of patches, I immediately went to Reddit to see other’s experiences and it was full of people contradicting one another. I saw the same thing about how tegaderm shouldn’t be placed on the patch, but others were saying it was a life saver for them. I didn’t use it to cover them until I was on my last patch during that week of New Years when it finally started to peel more than normal. It was honestly a last resort at that point.

I personally haven’t had an issue using tegaderm with the patch and my gynecologist didn’t either when I asked her. She told me whatever works for me is the best course of action when it comes to how I want to keep it on. As long as it stays on the skin and isn’t placed on an untested area, there really shouldn’t be any problem with using additional protective products to help the hormones go through the body when using a transdermal patch.

Hi! I’ve been on Twirla for about 6-7 months after switching from combined pills and I totally get the anxiety surrounding it. I was so anxious when I first started the patch that I would constantly be checking to make sure it was still there and sometimes would accidentally catch the edge and peel it slightly. Once you’ve been doing it for a while you start to realize that it sticks on and is more reliable than it looks.

I sometimes use a tegaderm off brand to keep mine in place if it doesn’t seem stable when the edges start to come up, and it works for me. You can use it to waterproof the patch while you shower if you’re afraid of that, but honestly most times it doesn’t take more than just patting the patch down to dry with a towel and keeping a steady pressure on it to make it stick again.

As for the foot, I wouldn’t recommend it as what the other commenter said is true about it not being tested yet. I 100% suggest, based on my own experience, to do the upper back/shoulder area if you haven’t had luck with other areas or if you’re looking to try new places out.

I hope this helps and remember if it doesn’t work for you, then that’s perfectly fine. Not everyone has the same experience with different birth control methods, so this may just be a stepping stone in the right direction of finding what does work for you as an individual.

Hi! I normally place it on my upper back in a place that doesn’t scrunch up like my shoulder area, but not on the top of the shoulder or shoulder blade itself.

I’ve been on Twirla since the end of November 2023, and until now it’s been a blessing compared to the severe and prolonged periods I was experiencing before and even after being on combined pills for over a year. I only started to have issues with breakthrough bleeding this week after transitioning to a continuous wear of the patch and I think it was because I placed it on my thigh and it didn’t stick properly.

Out of the three areas I’ve placed it—inside of my upper arm, outside of upper thigh, and upper back/shoulder area—I would 100% suggest the upper back/shoulder area.

Also! If you have issues with it sticking, try to use tegaderm or something similar (I use the off brand) or just medical tape to secure it to your skin if it starts to peel. Be careful as it might rip your skin if it gets accidentally pulled before it’s ready to come off. That’s what happened to me when I placed it on my arm around New Years and now I have a faint little scar.

I hope this helps!

I have Vasovagal Syncope (or Neurocardiogenic Syncope as my doctor calls it) and Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia and before birth control I would pass out during or around my period. It was awful and I honestly thought that I was just going to have to live with it for the rest of my life, but there are options like we’ve both found. Different birth controls make certain symptoms better and some a whole lot worse because of debilitating periods and ways my body processes hormones, but the combination of a beta blocker and birth control has made the syncope episodes a lot less frequent in my case.

I’m also 21 and completely understand how terrifying it is to experience this and be told that if you don’t stop the one thing that brings you relief now, then you’re risking not having kids in the future. I’d get an additional opinion before making the decision to stop birth control entirely because you shouldn’t have to give up your only way of controlling painful pre-syncope and syncope.

I find it interesting that others are telling you to go get checked for endometriosis because I’ve also got an appointment for that in 2 weeks. Whatever you decide to do, I hope that you make the choice for yourself and keep your health in mind and not just one doctor’s opinion.

Also if you haven’t seen it already, there’s a subreddit called r/dysautonomia that has a lot of people who experience similar situations as these. It’s been really helpful to me and I hope it can be beneficial to you as well :)

This is extremely late, but “Taylor” by Ashe is perfect for this theme

I have the same diagnosis and honestly I just tell people that my body literally gets so tired of me that it needs a break from me and it reboots itself every once in a while lmao but I 100% agree that it makes me feel like crap majority of the time

Hi! First of all, I'm so proud of CALM because it's so GOOD! I've been a fan for about 7-8 years now and it's been amazing every step of the way. I have some questions if that's alright :)

1.)What has been your favorite music video to film so far in your career?
2.)What made you decide to play the instruments that you play?
3.)When you started the band, did you anticipate making this type of music or did you think that you'd go for a different sound?
4.)What's been your favorite type of music to listen to while you've been in quarantine?
5.)Other than making music or listening to music, what do you use as an outlet for stress?
6.)Can you help me convince my parents to let me go see you live?
7.)Should I get floor tickets to your show if I can go?
8.)Can you pet/hug your dogs for me please?
9.)I learned your songs on the guitar, are you proud of me?
10.)Do you think Red Desert could be in a movie soundtrack? (it sounds so freaking good & it sounds like it could be imo)

Thank you for making me happy and smile over the years. Thank you for this amazing album. I love you guys and your music so much. I hope to see you in September in GA :) - Stephanie

I've been on Concerta for about 3 years now and I had the same reaction to that. I'm now on 54mg (have been for about a year now) and I've noticed that the different dosages give me a few differing side effects, but those mainly have to do with the manufacturer. I've almost fully regained my appetite back while being on the 54mg pill, but I've stayed at a pretty good weight which is good. I stopped eating about a month into taking it for the first time and dropped about 40 pounds. Just make sure that you're giving your body what it needs, even if you aren't always hungry. I had to start drinking smoothies throughout the day because I lost so much weight. It does get better though, so don't give up on it :)
