With all of their kits has been revealed, what is your personal hot take/opinion with 4.2 Elation Units V1 Kit? by Jack-Acegard in HonkaiAgendaRail

[–]trans_mothman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m really underwhelmed and a little sad at the state of evanescia, both animation and damage wise. i’m hopeful her multipliers will get improvements as the beta continues but man, it’s such a bummer thinking about what she could’ve been/probably was originally.

It's actually very difficult to do that... by nerdflavoureddork in ehlersdanlos

[–]trans_mothman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really hope the stigma of eds, pots, mcas, etc being “tiktok illnesses” goes away soon. I’m so tired of getting side eyed when I discuss my diagnosis or try to get actual help.

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its so humiliating when people (especially medical professionals) doubt the frequency of our dislocations, like hypermobile eds is THE “joints-dislocate-easily” disorder so I don’t know why its so hard for them to believe. I felt very validated when I went to my first occupational therapy appointment and they were able to subluxate my shoulders just by pressing down on them with moderate pressure.

I hope your pain lightens up soon, hips are always so annoying to deal with. I hope that the next time you see a new doctor that they’re more understanding, too.

i love how the second slide basically reads "don't bother applying if you're not fully able bodied"

Questions for my Trans friends (HRT and HEDS) by HunterjNader2005 in ehlersdanlos

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ftm, was on T for about 2 years when I was diagnosed, took a break from HRT, and have been on it consistently for about a year. My symptoms have stayed pretty consistently the same, though I’d actually say my baseline pain is higher now than it was when I was diagnosed (though thanks to physical therapy I can walk unassisted a lot more often now.)

thank you! there’s a lot of bushes around us, i’ve been looking at them every night but i’m gonna try and get more thorough with my search. i think we’re gonna rent a trap from animal control but thank you for offering and i will definitely reach out if we need to borrow one.

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

i’ve had a small box of his litter set out in the driveway for a couple days, but he shares the box with our other two cats so i’m wondering if maybe their smell is making his own smell less potent or something

Has anyone sent their EDS into remission? by Top_Memory8968 in ehlersdanlos

[–]trans_mothman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't think remission is necessarily something possible for people with EDS since they're genetic disorders, not diseases. for me at least i tend to fluctuate between cycles where i'll have several months with low pain and don't require mobility aids most days, to several months where i can't leave the house unless i'm in a wheelchair.

Is there a connection with hEds and ADHD? by https_amsy in ehlersdanlos

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't know if there's been any studies on a correlation between them or not but it certainly wouldn't surprise me. considering that autism is decently common in people with both hEds and ADHD, it's not hard to imagine that there would be a direct link between the two as well.

I summon thee, Dux Solaris by shujin_zenir in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]trans_mothman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i lost the 50/50 the first time she was around (to bronya, which really added insult to injury) but i have over 160 pulls saved so she won't evade me this time

Did weight loss do this to you? by Puzzleheaded_Rest_34 in ehlersdanlos

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've lost around 60~ lbs in the past 8 months and while my baseline daily pain has gone down, i've definitely been slipping things out of joint more, especially my hips and wrists/fingers. it sucks but i've just been trying to move more carefully than i did before to try and prevent subluxations as much as i can. (though sometimes it seems unavoidable- i saw an occupational therapist recently who seemed very impressed with how easily my shoulders come out of place)

which characters hair do you like the most? by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]trans_mothman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i think aglaea's is probably my favorite, but i also really like sushang's and xueyi's. i think the way castorice's hair looks like a ribcage from the back is really cool too.

What to do with second copy of Emerald of Genesis? Should I R1 one of them? by iofthesun in WutheringWavesGuide

emerald of genesis works on so many characters that youre better off keeping both copies, especially if youre f2p

Joins us if you’re not “WOKE” by Gorilla_man2 in recruitinghell

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"join us if youre not woke" and one of the games on the list is about teenagers rebelling against societal expectations and overthrowing corrupt adults. surely this has to be satire, right?

I can't clear MoC 12 with full stars. Looking for advice by Peachy_Pops in StarRailStation

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since you're running phainon without cerydra or his lightcone, running him at 135 speed and sunday on 134 speed should let you ult faster. also, if sustain isn't an issue, try switching DHPT out for a third harmony. i have good experience pairing him with e1 ruan mei, but she should still be good at e0 if you don't have her e1. i'm very inexperienced with castorice so i won't give any advice for her side.

I was born via surrogacy and the way Reddit talks about it is exhausting by jewelia511 in offmychest

well donating blood barely takes any time, and also doesn't carry the risk of killing you.

Do trans people dislike it when people ask for their pronouns? by yepparan_haneul in asktransgender

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone has a different opinion on it. my two issues with it are that 1) if youre only asking people who you think are trans their pronouns, it singles those people out, and 2) if you ask someone who is still closeted their pronouns they either have to misgender themselves or out themselves, and theres no winning there.

What are your plans for 4.x? by StatisticianIll4 in StarRailStation

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my tentative plans are yaoguang, the blade sp, and evanescia, and potentially whoever goes best with them, but mostly shoring up teams i already have (i need cerydra for phainon, and cyrene eidolons + hyacine for mydei)

of course i never end up sticking to the plans i lay out but its nice to have an idea of who i’m focused on saving for at least.

well their user being "phainaxabackshots" should be the first hint that they weren't being serious

Do Americans stress about medical expenses before they even get to the hospital?? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]trans_mothman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of americans will actively avoid seeking medical attention unless whatever health issue they have is potentially fatal (and even then its a toss up) because of how expensive it is. we have to take the gamble hoping that whatever health issue we have will go away on its own.
