You know if I hadn't been disabled my whole life, I probably would have been a gym rat/grabbling martial artist. Makes me almost happy to have a collagen defect....
@budsofstone and sorry if that came off as condescending, it wasn't my intention, it's just me lamenting what EDS took from me.
(I'm also very high rn and have no filter lol)
@bengesko no lol its okay I hope your high is going well, I mean i used to hike alot 15+ miles a day. And I was a free diver with a breath hold of 2 mins and 30 feet dive. Before things got really bad and covid did its thing. I just never did the gym/high impact stuff cause I knew something was wrong, before I got a diagnosis. I just know what douches gym rats and contact sport people can be and in a weird way eds saved me from that. Not that I don't wish that I didn't have it mind you.
@budsofstone yeah I know the feeling. If not for my fibro diagnosis in 2008, I'd've stayed another 4-10 years in the Navy, and I was a piece of shit back then, hadn't outgrown my conservative upbringing. I hate to think what kind of person that might've made me.
