Oh, it's not too personal, I've spoken about it publicly before but it seemed forced to mention it in here. When I was 25 I rapidly started suffering very severe back pain, joint pain and another few issues (felt like I'd gone crazy). I would find out about a year later that it was Joint Hypermobility Syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobility type (2 very similar - and to some docs the same - diseases, they haven't decided which to classify it). A couple of years down the line I was getting partial dislocations of my knee and hips on a near daily basis, and it's been pretty miserable to learn to live with it. The back pain stops me from lifting stuff that was trivial to me before or bending down, the condition causes me problems with walking for more than 20-30 minutes, I get really exhausted and the pain in my shoulders/wrists/finger joints even makes art a lot harder than it was. Unfortunately the only option is to manage it and work around it, which admittedly I am getting better at!
-
Oooohhh that's awful ;D; Is there anything that can be done to help more?
-
Physiotherapy from a physio who knows the condition can be helpful, but unfortunately I can't afford it. I have seen some other specialists (including wasting away nearly 2k euro of my savings on a physio) but the help they offered vs the stress was really not good at all, most of the management techniques I've learned came from the Hypermobility Syndromes/EDS charities and have helped me out a whole lot more. They're very supportive! :)
-
Yeah physio is expensive @_@
Glad to hear there's at least someone who has been able to help :3

This is unrelated, but I tried to offer your conbadge as collection to you, and it sent the following error message: "Whoops! Your collection offer could not be sent because the recipient is unable to receive it. This may be because the submission is friends-only, or the recipient's rating or filter settings prevent them from viewing it."
Can you check your rating/filters? ^^
-
Heya! :) Just had a quick check - I don't have any filters set up at all, and rating should be any (18+), so I am thinking that's not the issue! I've not yet had anyone else offer me a collection though so I'm not sure...
-
Not sure what you changed, but it's working now. :)
You were the only person with this issue with me, so I can't tell you more. I'm just glad it's working now.

haha this was an entertaining read :) I wish I could shit money XD
I'd like to ask what the disability is, but I understand if it is too personal and you'd rather not talk about it. That really sucks though, I hope it improves over time.
