forgive my absolute ignorance and maybe stupidity, but does swimming and other pool related activities help hypermobility? Whenever I told anyone related to medicine I'm having joint pain, they told me to take many a bath and frequent a pool

yes. water-related actitivites help with joint pain a) by in the case of exercise like aerobics and swimming building muscle and b) doing so whilst relieving pressure on the joints because the water is holding you up

hot baths will relieve pressure on the joints (unlike standing or even sitting to take a shower) and the heat will relax the muscles whilst the water supports you

I bought BG3 three weeks ago, and I adore Karlach as much as the next person, but speaking as someone who has had an external fixator (and still has some internal fixation), MY GOD do those rivets look painful.

I'm obviously still pretty early in the game, but thus far it seems Larian missed an opportunity to include a chronic pain aspect to her infernal engine storyline.

How can I bribe you into helping me get a job in the industry, other than promising my undying love, which you already have <3

The industry is horrible and awful, low pay, long hours, no real chance of advancing.

Whenever people touring the station or new interns ask me for advice, I always tell them to change careers lol

Enjoying rereading FMA as someone who is becoming increasingly disabled. Ed can feel bad weather approaching in his joints. Al's body might fail him at any moment. Ling sticks a superhero landing and then goes 'ow my knees'. Izumi's got internal bleeding from the hysterectomy from hell.

I definitely have issues with some of the ways it handles disability, but it's nice to see young people going 'oof ow my bones'.

frank iero’s solo work is the musical equivalent of getting gravel in an open wound. i mean this as a compliment

When I was a kid I always thought ace bandages and joint braces looked like cool science fiction armor and accessories and always wanted an excuse to wear them lol

people who are able to walk without issues underestimate how much walking our daily life includes. walking down a set of stairs to leave the building and going to the bus stop right outside it? 500 steps. a 20 minute grocery shopping trip at a small (!) supermarket is 1km (1000 steps). walking to uni (about 7 min walk) and not finding the room immediately? 3km (3000 steps). my personal pain threshold is 6000 steps A DAY.

"oh but it's only a 10 minute walk and we can go slow" it's not that simple when you have a condition causing micro-fractures in your ankle with every step that take days to heal. this has made me realise how low most people's empathy or understanding really is

I had to take Concerta and double doses of all my heart meds and albuterol to do it but I took out the trash and voted and picked up my prescriptions and made + consumed one (1) Real Meal and carried a box of books up the stairs, Please Clap. I want to sleep for 16 hours I am having heart palpitations and my brain is a desiccated steel wool scrub brush. There's another infected sore on my leg because None Immune System and None Wound Healing and I am So Tired. It won't scab so I'm just disinfecting and packing it I guess. When will my lymphocytes return from war

trope thing!!!

how do you feel about: enemies to lovers, love at first sight, near death experiences

enemies to lovers: I think most of the time what I find myself reading is "adversarial colleagues" or "one of these people is an asshole to everyone, actually" or "pitted against one another in a situation outside their control and bearing no personal ill will" and I'm guilty as well of using it as shorthand to describe a dynamic where the love interests get off on the wrong foot. even a very wrong foot is still a foot, you know? we're walking. what's one fight? what's a heated disagreement that spirals into a misunderstanding? true enemies, in my mind - like, 'lifelong embittered rivals', or 'fate has brought us against each other arbitrarily but i have since found reason to hate you', or 'you have committed an act i can never forgive and it has poisoned me' - that is something I rarely read but I think, in the right hands, can be incredible. the more Real and True the state of 'enemies', the more profound the journey. the shallower it is, the easier the execution. this is a trope that when done deeply and persuasively is S-tier imo, but there's an inherent challenge in having Enemies - as in adults with their own agency who have somehow come to the point of being like, yes, That Man There, He Is My Enemy - being able to move on from that. same way you never stop loving most people you've loved innit. can you stop hating someone you hated enough - and mutually! - that you were considered personal enemies? there'd always be a little something in there. can be very sexy...runs risk of being pat and hollow Grade: C - neutral, depends on how it's written

love at first sight: no notes. so weak for this. ADORE it. in every genre and shape. Grade: A - love it

near death experiences: fun plot movement device for sure. however is adjacent to something that can really take me out of a story, which is my suspense of disbelief being suddenly obliterated by unconvincing depictions of pain, injury, or healing processes. i am a clown for having made myself do this in oaths. very self-conscious of it. i think even with some experience and knowledge it's inherently one of the harder things to write well. you're evoking something that is a) very infrequent (hopefully) in your own life and personal experiences, yet b) not outright fantastical and thus can be judged for accuracy despite that accuracy being judged, usually, by someone else's own small pool of experiences. terrible. worst of all worlds. would write 1000 porns before writing someone getting seriously injured ever again. i know i'm being dramatic but i have a cold so Grade: C (if it involves bodily injury) - neutral, depends on how it's written; B (if it's a close call situation) - like it

(trope grading)
