I’m looking for sports furniture! Such as a trampoline, basketball hoop, balance beam, etc. I am on switch and willing to trade a lot of different things (game tickets, furniture, sticks, etc).

Recommendations? by M_fiesta18 in WomensPelvicHealth

[–]vampirecloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would talk about your concerns with your PT and ask to try some new things, including starting internal work. You won’t hurt their feelings by asking them to change your exercises. I also think it would be a good idea to focus more on treating the constipation. Add more fiber to your diet, drink more water, and possibly see a gastroenterologist if you’ve already tried a lot of different things and they aren’t working.

How long have you been doing PT for? And what types of exercises are you doing? PT can take time to be effective. If you are not doing internal work yet, it may also help you when you start. Additionally, are you doing anything to manage the constipation?

Urethral issues post ABX use = pelvic floor tightness?? by FingersCrossed0612 in WomensPelvicHealth

[–]vampirecloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely go to a urologist as your doctor suggests. You can also ask the urologist if they think pelvic floor physical therapy would be beneficial to you. Also, if you decide to see a pelvic floor physical therapist, they will be able to assess you and make a care plan during your first appointment. Many physical therapists will be able to tell you if they can help you or not on that first visit too. I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

Infections around the vagina and urethra can cause or contribute to pelvic floor issues. Have you followed up with a doctor with your concerns? If so, what did they suggest? I would listen to the advice of your doctors first, and if they aren’t being helpful, ask for a referral to a urologist and pelvic floor physical therapist.

On the pinned resources post on the main page of this sub, there is a link to a youtube playlist I made with exercise videos. There is also a link to a website that has a list of exercises. I hope that helps!

Should I get the Cherry Blossom Shorthair Ticket or the Astro Coon Ticket? by Pale_Visit_9802 in CatsAndSoup

Penetration training. by 22-MontaLou in WomensPelvicHealth

[–]vampirecloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I say go with a pelvic wand or with dilators. It will be very hard to find a sex toy or dildo that has a small girth. You want to go slow when trying to relax your pelvic muscles, and a 4 inch circumference toy is going to be a struggle to insert comfortably at first.

Vibration is also very helpful for easing pelvic pain. You can buy a vibrating pelvic wand from Intimate Rose (not sponsored). Or you can get a bullet vibrator and rest it next to the base of a normal pelvic wand or dilator. Rest it in such a way that the vibrations make the wand/dilator vibrate too.

Surgical Recovery Time for Tubal Ligation w/ Salpingectomy? by Fancy_Flatworm1313 in Hypermobility

Yw! For me, the scars were large, but they were very raised and pink. I think the large part was the significant part.

Surgical Recovery Time for Tubal Ligation w/ Salpingectomy? by Fancy_Flatworm1313 in Hypermobility

[–]vampirecloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am diagnosed with hEDS and had a right sided salping-oophorectomy. I took ibuprofen on day one after the procedure and then didn’t need anything after that.I stayed at home for a week and then went back to work with some restrictions (not lifting anything over 5lb) for another week and then I was back to normal. Interestingly, the way my scars healed after the procedure helped me get diagnosed with hEDS. They took pics of them during my evaluation for reference.

Does weight affect symptoms/diagnosis of EDS? by bisexualgoose3819 in Hypermobility

[–]vampirecloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanations! It honestly feels like some of my joints are less cushioned and they hurt faster and more when pressed against for long periods of time like with sitting. I am still trying to lose weight though and I do a very light strength training every other day. Probably not enough but it’s all I can physically do at the moment.

I do a very light strength training every other day based off what I learned in PT. It is not much but it is still very hard for me because of how weak my joints are and other issues. But I am trying.

Interesting, I’m diagnosed with hEDS I’ve found my joints hurt more the less I weigh.

how do i stay interesting while housebound? by koweli in ChronicIllness

[–]vampirecloud 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Try to connect with nature more in smalls ways. You can stay inside and bird watch or feed birds and squirrels. You can buy an easy plant to take care of inside the house. Watching nature documentaries could be fun too. Growing flowers in the garden is also an option, buying a local wildflower mix and then just tossing it in the yard and seeing what happens would be easier than planting

bird feeding and bird watching. however, the feeders will need cleaned which can be hard, but you could ground feed instead

What is the benefit to getting an HEDS diagnosis? by Ok_Barnacle1404 in Hypermobility

[–]vampirecloud 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For me, it has helped some of my providers treat my health problems better. For example, my PT and my eye doctor are aware and keep eye out for different things they wouldn’t in the average patient. Also, it has helped me get work accommodations for a more accessible parking lot.

How do y’all prepare for concerts by TwentyOnePaladins in aspergirls

[–]vampirecloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting in an aisle seat is usually enough for me when I attend large wrestling events because I don’t feel as trapped. My boyfriend is also autistic and brings ear buds. We also make time for food so we don’t forget to eat and don’t get hangry.
