hello :3 i forgot to make an intro post, so i’ll do that now.

my username is a placeholder right now until i think of something better.

transsexual man | 20 years old | united states

i love drawing, collecting stuffed animals (especially build a bears and pillowfort weighted plush from target), vintage electronics/clothing/toys/etc, and watching youtube.

my special interests are my little pony: friendship is magic, psychology, genetic syndromes, true crime, cats, and disabilities. i love learning about disability aids !!

i have 4 cats at home. i have a girlfriend and she’s super awesome sauce :3. i love my mom.

i have GERD and i have joint problems which i suspect may be hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. it’s really hard to get into a doctor to do genetic testing, and i don’t want to take away time with a doctor from people who really need it. i try to deal with it by using braces for my knees, elbows, ankles, back, shoulders, and wrists.

thank you for listening! i will update this as i get more comfortable ^_^

my favorite hack for my GERD or any acid reflux is putting a pinch or two of baking soda in my water/drink. you can barely taste it and it neutralizes the acid in your tummy.

why did nobody tell me that GERD was a chronic illness? i was diagnosed with GERD a while ago when i was very stressed out from high school, it flared up and i had to restrict things i was eating. it still flares up when im stressed out and my whole family has gastrointestinal problems-but i was never told that this is a chronic illness. i guess i never realized that this is a life time issue. when i’m feeling okay, i don’t need to restrict what things i eat as much but then ill have stomach issues that i just deal with bc i like eating my favorite foods and drinking my favorite drinks. idk just a ramble.
