Might want to look into dirt bike protective gear. I am personally a fan of Leatt but there are loads of brands to choose from. I have never ridden a horse wearing dirt bike gear but I have hit the ground and trees many, many, times while dirt biking and it has served me well.

Mostly Avolites and ETC. Mostly just always save to a couple of USB sticks as backup, one of which lives on my keys and the other in my computer bag. It is nice to have quick access to my user profile and some pre-built stuff though. Some of them I keep around because I do those shows every year but mostly it’s just not worth the effort of deleting them because the files are so small. They are also all backed up to my home server.
Mine is mostly lighting console show files of various concerts/comedians/dance performances I have been the lighting designer for. I know my use case is different than most people’s, but hey, you asked.
Thanks for the info. The Brighton test is actually what led us to start looking into EDS. I easily get 4 points with the pinkies and thumbs. I’m not sure on the knees and elbows, I go past straight but I didn’t know how to properly measure what angle I get to. I cannot even come close to touching my toes because my spine does not curve the way it is supposed to.
I did not know about the antibiotic, that is good info to have. I did know people with EDS need to be particularly careful with stretches and yoga but had not really thought about physical therapy. Last time I was in PT for my spine I ripped my collar bone most of the way off of my sternum so that makes sense.
Again, thank you for the info.
I suspect that I have Ehlers Danols. I have an appointment with a new doctor next month to look into a possible diagnosis. When my wife first found out about EDS and said she thought I might have it I was just like “whatever”, but then the more we looked into it the more my entire life made sense. I’m not saying I hope I have EDS but it would be really nice to actually have an explanation for the constant pain and unstable joints.
I did the same thing with Kleenex vs toilet paper. TP won.
Some nights that’s what it feels like I’m doing.
I like the way you think. Not sure if my wife would be too happy about it though
If I sleep on my stomach I can’t move my neck the next day, right side my right hand goes painfully numb, left side my left hand goes painfully numb, back both hands go numb. There is literally no position I can sleep in that I don’t wake up after a couple of hours and have to shift to a different position.
When I was a kid my mom was baking potatoes one time and realized partway through that she forgot to stab them before putting them in the oven. She quickly opened the oven and slid the rack out and stabbed one with a fork. Unfortunately it was too late. I was standing right next to the oven and potato exploded all over my mom and I as soon as the fork touched it.
It doesn’t really have any nutritional value for them but it fills them up so they don’t eat as much of the things that they should be eating to get proper nutrition.
My wife (43) and I (41) had an epic sword fight last month after finishing off 2 rolls of wrapping paper.
A buddy of mine was talking to his doctor not long after he turned 50 and he was complaining about some random pain. The doctor told him “You know all that stupid stuff you did when you were younger? That’s what hurts now.”
