Okay it is officially the WORST how acute illnesses amplify the symptoms of chronic illness. Like, I’ve got a cold rn, running a little fever, and out of nowhere my goddamn RIBS hurt. From where I’ve dislocated them in the past. Also the unusual amount/type of pain in my toes & fingers & wrists & elbows all afternoon really makes more sense now. Like this is not normal dislocation/sublux pain. This is something else entirely, like every joint I’ve ever messed up has suddenly just remembered what I’ve done to them in the past and now they’re all yelling at me. Having a fever fucking sucks, because it makes all the old microinjuries from EDS get all pissed off and inflamed again. Just, why is my body so angry whyyyyy
