yes I know you should not drink at all. yes I know it's bad and I'm supposed to cut out all bad foods and be completely sober. I'm in my mid 20s and I still want to be able to have fun and go out occasionally with friends. what is the best way to implement harm reduction in this situation because I will do it, I just want to be as safe as possible given the circumstances. thank you so much for any advice!
Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone who has hEDS has had any experience with getting an ovarian cystectomy and how did that go? I currently have a 7cm cyst on one side and a 2cm cyst on the other; my doctor is starting to push the idea of surgery because we've been monitoring it for about 2 years and it's still the same size. I've been very hesitant to do surgery because mainly it on the scale of things it barely impacts me and I barely notice it and also I know with any sort of EDS there's much higher risk of complications after surgery, higher risk of pain or developing crps, etc etc. all I know is eds bodies can struggle in surgery and I'm not sure if it's worth it at this point. if anyone has had one, can you please tell me how the surgery itself was and the recovery and also the time after with how your body responds long term. thank you so much!
hi guys! I'm a daily smoker, I usually smoke in my bathroom completely away from my cats but sometimes I smoke in bed. usually I'm about 5 feet or so from my cat (queen size bed, she's at the bottom and I'm at the top) and I always blow the opposite direction of her. I have a window open and a fan going, do you guys think this is too close/ she could be getting contact high? I don't want to hurt her at all and I would think if it bothered her she would leave the room but I just want y'all's opinions on if this is too close or if I should completely lock her out of the room while I smoke (I normally don't because she will HOWL and claw at the door if I ever lock her out)
