I also don't love movie theatre seats but love movies. My favorite spot to watch is in my Swiss Temporpedic Mattress (Swiss makes it sound so much more important) I live in my room most of the time with my flat screen mounted on the wall. Our kids friends always were brought into our room to say hello when they came over, most of them probably just thought I was a lazy mother the amount of time I spent in bed. Maybe they still do? I did ask my kids once, did you tell them I have a disorder and I'm not just lazy? They said no why would I? Like, we don't talk about parents, duh! There has been some shy kids who look a bit taken aback when I or the kids say come say hi to my mom. My husband just gets in there cause I'm there or he would only sleep in there. My little 9 year old cousin had a visitation with us a couple of weeks ago and we watched a movie and she cuddled up and said I love your bed! It is a king size so Neely fits in it as well.
I have tried the sleep number bed and I think that will be my next bed. Loved it.

Jennifer...if you all end up liking either of the clip arts I submitted below and can't find anything you like, just ask Adina. She knows how to pull the art from this page and insert it.

Ok, so the movie was a nice change of pace. If you have read any of her book(s) you know the ending, I never have heard of her until now. The movie has not been release as of yet, but we got a sneak peak of it. The line, I don't need easy, I just need possible, it's at a great spot in the movie. Didn't really care of Carrie Underwood in the movie, it's her first movie I understand (?) so giving grace, but I think (as do the 10 people I saw the movie with) she should stick with singing ~ she is REALLY good at that. Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid are the MOIVE though. Yes it's about the girl who lost her arm, BUT the parents (if this is really what they are like in true life) are awesome. They supported their daughter in such a way that was so graceful, such a blessing to see as a parent. Inspirational movie indeed! Not a movie critic by any means! This is JUST MY OPINION!!!

I will email Adina tomorrow, I do not have the power to put a picture up, it is different I guess. Oh well we know who we are.
I really want to see Soul Surfer. I keep hearing that one line over and over, I don't need easy, I just need possible!!! I love it....
I hope you had fun tonight...

Hi Jena. I was screened for MS at one time prior to being diagnosed with EDS. MS is often one of the first diagnosis that is ruled out. I have had several people in my area go to foreign countries for CCSVT. It has been successful in the cases well publicized. I did have one patient as a client when I worked as a mobility specialist at a home health and oxygen place and know what he was like 10 or more years ago and to hear of what he is now able to do almost immidiately and in continuing scientifically measurable ways is so wonderful for him as he has lost so much to the disease in his life time.
I also have neuropathy and have had great relief in gabapentin. It has been a life saver as there is nothing worse than nerve pain. If I had of had a gun I swear I may not be here, thanks to good Canadian gun laws, lol.
I am not sure that Fibro is a real diagnosis in conjunction with EDS OR whether it is the closest set of symptoms that already has a name. It can also be so much like Chronic Fatigue syndrome as well. Are these separate disorders? Or are they related. I tend to think I have Ehlers and that Fibro is another disorder but one that allows us to be labeled that we are in fact treatable. As soon as you say you have Ehlers than the Dr's that don't have the time or the knowledge to follow you tell you that there is nothing that can be done for you as there is no cure. They would rather not treat the symptoms unless it has a name. Ehlers can't be fixed yet there is a treatment for neuropathy but one has to be willing to listen to the symptoms instead of washing their hands of you as a diagnosis.
Basically I look great on the outside!!! imo but am falling apart from the joints outward.
It is nice to see people with Ehlers have great taste in dogs!! Look forward to chatting some more.
By for now.
