Does anyone else with #hEDS get really bad foot pain? Like sometime I feel like I can't even put my feet on the floor when I'm sitting down bc they hurt too much. Its one of the main reason I can't walk very much.

Flying is always hard. No matter what I do, I always have a headache and vertigo afterwards.

My life became a lot easier after I accepted that I'm disabled.

I feel like there are better ways to block AI. Probably there is a way to ban it at certain IP address or with school emails. In class work or quizzes are also an option.

I disagree. A lot of degrees don't require Internet but soo many of them do. Like computer science or engineering. With a lot of the degrees with no Internet everything you could teach would be outdated in a job setting.

I want to try a low histamine diet for #mcas but I have no idea where to start. I already don't eat a lot of foods like nuts, cured meat, fermented food, or alcohol. But soy sauce, citrus and yogurt are staples for me

Right? Like all the roots just get super sensitive and it hurts to touch. I did not know this was not just a me thing lol

It sucks being a chronically ill college student because I'll never be able to participate in club activities or go to parties because keeping up with the work takes all my energy.

Update:
I'm doing slightly better. It may be partly a reaction to black mold. I also found out I'm allergic to potato skin or whatever is sprayed on potato skin 🫠

Am I having the worst mcas flair I've ever had? Yes.
Has my entire body been covered with hives for weeks and I can't find the trigger? Also yes.

True, but in the original post just saying "woman in a dark room" leaves out a lot of important detail that could be added. I feel like alt text comes super easy to some people and not to others

I didn't really mean don't bother, just wanted to point out it's actually not as simple as some people try to make it out. If you do too little it might not tell the reader anything but too long and it's also not useful

Also if you don't do a good description it's not that helpful. All the people saying it's easy fail to take into account that an easy description is often a bad one.

I would buy one. It's actually really surprising how few alternatives to a mouse and keyboard there are. Even for not only gaming but just regular computer use

Well I went to the ER because urgent care is not open and it's not life threatening but I now have painkillers and muscle relaxers 🫠

I don't know what happened but suddenly I can't lift my arm without pain and there's stabbing pain in my back 😭

I only have a certain amount of vertical time per day. Then it's horizontal time.

Sources I've found say you need to buy it illegally using crypto

I've heard you can do this for estrogen but testosterone is a controlled substance (cis men 🙄) and I don't think you can make it

Not to mention that this would be so helpful in general? Like remembering and getting to the pharmacy once per month, specifically the 3 days right after I run out of meds, is really challenging.

I end up skipping a shot usually B4 I have time to go.

I don't meet the definition of disabled that allows me to get government assistance, but I can't imagine what my life would be like having to support myself without help from my family.
