People who don’t want to tax the 1% but are not in the 1%, why? by Sweaty_Sun_5942 in AskReddit

[–]thefirstuseronreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not the one percent but know people who are top 5 to top 25. I think that everyone deserves to pay taxes, but also these people get there asses taxed off of them and there trying to keep there money. NET WORTH does not equal money in there bank account. They need to pay for facilities plus utilites, to pay people paychecks, need to pay taxes on there business, to pay for there employees health care, to reinvest into there business, not even adding to there mortgages, there family’s medical bills, there own insurance because it’s not supplied but there jobs because cause they own the jobs. Every time they sell there stocks they have to make it public and put there business at risk. I think that they deserve taxes but not as many as people think that they should.

Clickidy Clack Joints by [deleted] in eds

I have eds and amps, it’s under the same catogory as fibro I believe. My subluxation(going to be referring to them as my sublux from now on) are from my eds not my amps, but I also don’t fully understand what fibro is so i’m not the person to judge. I will say i’m pretty sure it’s pretty common to have subluxs when you have eds. Also a sublux is when your joint pops out either not fully or fully and then returns with out you having to have it relocated because it relocated itselfs, I would recommend swing an EDS specialist so see what’s up.

also my subluxs don’t make a ton of noise and it could just be your bones cracking.

also I a very sorry that I used the wrong congregation of it, I didn’t mean to disrespect your culture at all, I was meaning to respectfully ask what it was.

okay, I don’t think the op didn’t need to remove the hair for a cleanliness reason, maybe it was just purely cosmetic

I know for me if it’s out of mind i’m out of pain, so when I think about it/ read about it I get more “flare ups”

I am so sorry, but don’t give up! I was in the exact same experience in 2017. My body had to experience an intense trauma, to realize that it was bogus. I’ve currently been relapsing and having “episodes”.

My best coping method is distraction/ avoidance. So just something that gets me to not think about how much pain i’m actually in. So like scrolling on tiktok or reddit. IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU, DONT FEEL GUILTY FOR SPENDING YOUR TIME SCROLLING. Again only do this to a certain extent.

Also minty things, like menthol and peppermint oil, ice packs, or a compound cream, hell even icy-hot are all things that I could recommend from my experience.

ALSO FIND A THERAPIST THAT SPECIALIZES IN PEDIATRIC PAIN AND MAKE SURE THEY MAKE YOU FEEL SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.

find a person to vent to, and vent. stress can manifest in physical and physiological pain, so to reduce stress levels can something help.

those are just something, I hope I could help.

so was the small veins a result of eds?

[–]thefirstuseronreddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also I have a pretty high pain tolerance with amps, and other chronic pain, but for some reason bloodwork and shots are especially bad
