do you actually have a genetic disorder??
how does it work whats it called
I have vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (vEDS - though many patients prefer to use VEDS for reasons discussed in the link at the end of this post). it's a connective tissue disorder with several subtypes, but vascular-type is the only type that's deadly. current typical life expectancy is like 48ish, but even then, that's if you take a certain class of medication that I can't take (makes my blood pressure so constantly and severely low that I become bedbound) - when I was first diagnosed with unspecified EDS, the lifespan estimates for VEDS were closer to 40 years. that doesn't necessarily mean I can't possibly live a good bit longer - there have been patients who've lived about as long as a typical healthy person, but there's no way to predict it or mitigate it. lifestyle, in this case, makes basically zero difference. I could be the fittest and healthiest lifestyle person on earth or be a couch potato who eats nothing but fast food and it wouldn't really mean much in terms of this either way.
I've posted before about my EDS (never in detail idt) & it's mentioned in the About Me section of my Pinned, but had avoided getting the test for VEDS until fairly recently - not fully intentionally, just got caught up in life and kind of already suspected based on certain traits and symptoms I have that are associated with the vascular type (including a history of SCAD*). it's actually good I waited bc they found a new variety of the gene mutation since my initial diagnosis that may be present in a whole 50% of VEDS patients!
*SCAD = Sudden Coronary Artery Dissection, often considered a type of heart attack, where your artery just zshlurps n pops a hole in it. I recently had read a few studies showing that female people, especially if otherwise broadly healthy, are more able than males to heal from SCAD without or with very conservative medical intervention (I don't even go to hospital atp for pretty much anything my body does, but I did briefly die once and have posted my NDE experience here before), however I'm struggling to find these studies all of a sudden. that said, the below AHA article mentions that "among patients with acute myocardial infarction, patients with SCAD have a lower risk of mortality, which is attributed primarily to their younger age, female sex, and low prevalence of atherosclerotic risk factors."

hey does anyone wanna bounce bellhands/they all went to pirate school together ideas with me? im trying to figure out the missing pieces of my personal set up and it might be easier with someone else!
#if youve never spoken to me before please be aware i will type a whole paragraph in response to one (1) sentence#but if ur down for that! please.#ive got like. the start and the end and a couple bits in the middle fleshed out but it doesn't f l o w#this is the problem with trying to condense more than a years of ideas into one cohesive narrative. i usually swap and change things as#and when it suits so im like. i don't know what i need in this#its just for my silly little tumblr post but#i would appreciate it <3#i can send you what ive wrote and we can go from there or we can start from scratch bouncing ideas or u can just ask me questions#or something to help fill in gaps idk whatever works for u! what ive got is like. a fuckin mess honestly its ramblings and half finished#thoughts and just. its. a complete state and thats not even touching on whats missing (like. anything that matters in the middle basically)#nyxtalks#ofmd#bellhands#sam bellamy#izzy hands#israel hands#if you're unfamiliar with the concept: its Hornigold era stuff; jack + ed + izzy + sam all sailing under him and learning the ropes togethe#im not trying to go into too many details; just the underlying structure that is what I think of when i think of them#its probably not something anyone else cares about but i think i need it for some of the more fun 'what if Izzy went with sam' posts#i realised if i wanted to say what the divergence point was i Needed to establish all this lol#'oh yeah its when izzy chooses sam after the mutiny despite their argument' NYX WHAT ARGUMENT. you need to tell us what u mean

New projection headcanon because why not
Alastor and Lucifer both have joint problems, especially in their legs. Alastor鈥檚 come from how long it took him to get used to having deer legs and hooves, while Lucifer鈥檚 are a permanent injury from his fall made worse by having to get used to his demon form. It's easy for both of them to dislocate something (in fact Lucifer鈥檚 kneecaps occasionally slip out of place) because Alastor鈥檚 struggles to get used to his demon form and Lucifer鈥檚 fall caused their connective tissue to deteriorate.
#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel alastor#alastor the radio demon#hazbin hotel lucifer#hazbin hotel headcanon#i have what is suspected to be eds and this is how im deciding to cope with it#an 'i am suffering so my faves will suffer with me' type of thing#ive also thought a few times about alastor having eds in life. maybe this is how he ends up with something similar in hell

can you leave me the fuck alone tumblr
#red rambles#ive never used these tags in my life and furthermore i dont think any of us really need to be seeing that unexpectedly#im not an enemy of the ed community on here. they had good advice when i was trying really hard to figure out how to stay fed in hs#but there's a lot of reasons that no one - in or out - should be seeing these unexpectedly when typing two common ass letters#(the phrase i was typing was 'i was')#uhhhhhhhh. ask to tag?#HUH. yeah for some reason they keep giving me a shitload of ed tags in my 'popular' or whatever thing#i type the letter u and the third from the top is 'ed vent' WHERES THE U TUMBLR#like. whats going on here man.

Love it when a doctor is like "I'm ordering a LOT of blood work for you today, sorry" like no don't be sorry, thank you for turning over every stone you can looking for answers for me
#todays doctor visit is the rheumatologist#ordering me a bunch of tests for autoimmune diseases#and a full tick-borne illness panel because she was shocked ive never been tested for lyme or any other tick-borne illness before#and we also talked about the possibility of EDS but trying to look into everything else first that could possibly be wrong#because there are so few people in the state who even do genetic testing for EDS (the types that can be tested for)#and even fewer who treat it so it'd be a long referral and wait process probably involving a lot of travel to other counties or into NYC#also getting a bunch of vitamin level testing done because my ones in september was NOT GOOD for a bunch of vitamins#6 vials of blood#definitely havent ever had that much blood drawn at once before#health stuff#ndr#not dog related

thinking about the fact that i was so socially awkward as a teen that the school wanted to me out of class to attend "social skills classes" once a week (to which i attended one and demanded i be removed from the program cuz it was just me and about a dozen equally uncomfortable probably-autistic kids who also probably did not want to be there, being forced to do icebreaker activities by deeply condescending special education teachers)
how did i not receive an autism diagnosis til i was nearly an adult and specifically advocated for myself to be taken to a professional to get checked out for autism and adhd???
#eliot posts#i'm really curious whose call it was to put me in there#it wasn't my parents because my mother was Outraged that her kid got put in a special ed type class and signed the papers so i could leave#so like. what teacher made that call.#and what exactly sparked that#was it my general being a loner or was there An Incident#i don't remember exactly what grade i was in. probably 8th or 9th?#so still kind of stuck in my ''convinced myself i was just Better than my peers and that's why i didn't have many friends'' phase#following that was a phase where i got over myself but was kinda just shy#and then a phase where i went okay fuck it we ball and acted weird but in a way intended to be funny#that annoyed some people but some people enjoyed. by then i figured ''eh i aint seeing most of these ppl ever again after graduation''#i had some friends in high school bc of marching band but they were all in different grades than me#tho even then i was only close w like 2 of them and the rest all seemed closer to each other than to me#edit: dug through my blog and it was 7th grade (yeah ive been on here that long)#so this was before i even had my marching band friends. but probably after my singular friend from elementary school moved away?#i forget if he left in 6th or 7th grade#(im still friends with that friend. he's great we love him)

i think with the discussion of autism people forget that a lack of social skills also makes you look like a fucking loser sometimes and its still ableist and embarrassing to be made fun of for it. and that its still intrinsically tied to your symptoms. and also it presents as annoying as shit. and also is still a symptom. you know what i mean?
#txt#going to a special ed school was very inreresting because it was like#it made me realize how different 'social ineptitude' can look in different people#and the thing is they cant help it either and i cant help it and sometimes whern you mock that person whos a total loser you ARE mocking#them because of autistic traits that they have. and no matter how many times someone goes 'but its the autism. youre mocking autism'#it like doesnt click bc its still 'loser behavior' to the person. you know? you know?#ive been thinking about it since i saw the autistic sex post. 'what does being autistic have to do with not having sex' well you see the#thing is a lot of allistic people think autistic people are annoying losers who are selfish and bothersome#and a lot of autistic people see their OWN community as the same thing. because a lot of types of autism dont mesh together#so... you know. sometimes the social disability is socially disabling#and ppl think ur lame bc of it

also currently trying 2 talk my mum in2 doing a trip in august to see family out west who i havent seen since i was single digits in age and like. i genuinely for realsies want 2 see those aunts n uncles but also...... i kinda really just wanna see metallica live. this is just a 2 birds 1 stone type of situation. srry 2 my aunts n uncles. yall r at least 55% an excuse 2 go out there in the first place.
#WHYYYY couldnt i have gotten in2 metallica LAST YEAR#WHEN THEY ACTUALLY TOURED THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY#im like. 40 years late 2 the party. ive literally always thought they were overrated assholes. NOW look at me 馃檮#id say its an age thing but actually im sure there are still ppl my age and younger 4 whom metallica is their Gateway Metal Band#and actually one of my biggest gateway bands was a7x. which ppl call(ed?) metallica ripoffs. so who knows really#i managed 2 come around on liking death metal b4 i got metallica 2 click 4 me. probably not the standard Metal Subgenre Journey#real talk tho i get stuck in these music modes where i only listen 2 a narrow slice of things for weeks on end#and i have been in a 24/7 metallica lockdown for like at least 3 fucking weeks already LET ME OOOUUTTTT#the only concession ive been able 2 wrangle from my brain is a sprinkling of megadeth of all fucking things#Yet Another Band ive only just learned 2 appreciate but actually rust in peace is a fucking banger so thats ok i suppose.#still. would be nice perhaps. to maybe listen to any of the 10 million OTHER types of music i also enjoy. sometime soon pls brain. 馃檹

im sick to death of hearing teachers complaining about their students on social media. first if all i dont think you should at all be complaining if theres even a CHANCE that it can be traced back to you if you are complaining about your students, children are extremely fragile and if they hear what you say that could haunt them for the rest of their lives. and now we have fuckjng podcasts and video shorts of teachers telling fucking stories of their bad experiences with *kids* when they were teaching. I HOPE YOU NEVER WORK IN CHILD CARE AGAIN ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? its INSANE. and i just seent this bitch ACTUALLY FILM INSIDE OF HER CLASSROOM AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HER STUDENTS. ARE YOU INSANE. I HOPE YOU GET FIRED.
#i will literally always care a million times more over the childs life and health than the teachers burnt out#how are you going to record yourself in your classroom and talk to tiktok (mind you ive seen this woman's videos before and her students#KNOW she has a tiktok page and she talks to them about it)#about how your students were ''so disrespectful'' when they had a subtitude. like are you insane. youre filming in your school about your#current students. if i was a parent i would literally do everything in my power to make all of the parents aware that she was doing that to#their children#not any amount of burnt out and irritation grants you the right to go and complain about children put in your care who trust you and who#youre meant to watch over. being a teacher means literally the entire world to me and it doesnt matter how bad a kid is i cant ever imagine#myself going to ridicule them online for all of my followers. its so horrible i have no idea how you could do that to a child its so#disgusting its insane.#she literally is friends w a bunch of other trash ass teachers on tiktok too they literally had a controversy because they were bitching#about special ed kids needing help in school and calling them stupid. i wish they would never work with children again. it makes me so mad.#(meant to watch over on a social media post*) (i love not finishing typing a thought before starting to write the next)

Okay I use the for you page sometimes and usually it's good, just showing me shit from mutuals/mutuals in law/generally shit from fandoms I like. Like normal. But sometimes the algorithm completely shits itself and now it started randomly showing me some Polish eating disorder community????? Like people sharing how much weight they lost and how they want to be skinny and all that. Literally anorexia posting. What did I do to deserve that shit
#ive never been even close to that type of ed#but i am fat so.#seeing all those people talk about how much they hate being fat when theyre already underweight was pretty bad#i jusy blocked every one of those people and eventually it stopped showing up but its still insane#like why did tumblr suddenly decide thats what i want to see#tw eating disorder
