Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.

For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!

The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!

If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!

I’m literally crying right now. I will be able to use my hands!!! As it stands I can’t do dishes, hold things, write, hold books, type, without pain or dislocation. Oh my gosh. This is a miracle.

@peaceypanic

those are gorgeous and that is amazing how well they’re working! signal boost!

I love these things. I use one for my thumb because due to arthritis I have very little strength/support in the joint and therefore often can’t do anything. My splint makes it possible for me to do my job, do the shit i need to do and not have as bad of pain. 

these are so cool

omg the first ehlers danlos post I’ve seen, this makes me happy!

We love Siris Ring Splints (silverringsplints.com)!  But we know not everyone has the same price points or style so we have a whole page of splints (and braces too) oer on PrettySick Supply so you can shop your own style and cost!  And a lot of the folks we’ve found are others with EDS and hypermobility issues who support themselves by selling the splints they make!

So you can support your fingers, and your community… all at the same time!

well, these are useful AND look fantastic

MY HUSBAND IS MISSING

PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHERE MY HUSBAND IS SHARE IT WITH ME OR THE MASON OHIO PD

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO HELP FIND MY HUSBAND

Dillon Alexander Williams went to Kings Island with me and my mother Melanie Dean but is now nowhere to be found. Last time I saw him was at the Build a Bear in Kings Island and he seemed completely fine. After hours of security searching they discovered my husband was no longer in the park and hadn’t been since 11 am. He was seen on camera walking out of the park, through the Soak City parking lot and out towards the Sunoco on the other side of the street.

He was last seen wearing black jeans, pink converse, a red and black Deadpool letterman jacket and a Marie the cat beanie like in the pictures I’ve provided.

I’ve been asking around and no one has seen him. This is legitimately the most terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced in my life, please, if you have ANY info call the Mason PD or send me a PM on here. I just want my husband home.

Updates, newest to oldest

Update

The most terrifying one.

Dillon has been reported to be seen at the Panera right outside the park with an older woman where he said in a conversation with a worker that he was hitch hiking and she was buying him a plane ticket to Texas. Please if anyone knows anything contact Mason PD immediately. I am beyond terrified.

Update

Dillon is officially a missing person and police are out looking for him

Update

Dillon was possibly seen around 2-3 AM walking northbound on the southbound side of the highway which is the way home

UPDATE

Dillon was at the Target on Cox road off of Tylersville in West Chester around 1:20 yesterday for about 12 minutes

———————-

My husband I believe is schizophrentic and not thinking in his right mind. If you see him, IMMEDIATELY contact the Mason Ohio Police Department. DO NOT let him know you have spotted him and have called someone. He may run in the mental state he’s in. (513)299-8560

You’re a piece of shit, you know that?

I don’t know what’s going on.

OP’s essentially trying to gaslight her husband and trick people into bringing him back to her despite her being an abusive piece of shit.

…

What. The Actual. Fuck.

To think I was actually gonna try and spread the word…

OP, you’re a fucking shit head for trying to get strangers to do your dirty work. I hope you get arrested for the shit you pulled.

She’s also fucking psychotic.

Jesus christ I was not expecting this

Update to the post earlier

Let’s get this rolling hard on #helpdillonescape.

OK people

I need some spenders. I need some signal boosters. I need some people willing to do both.

I had a minor outpatient surgery back in June. The bill finally got through the insurance company and came due. It got paid… but that put us behind on my car payment, drove up credit card debt (for groceries), and leaves us with approximately $100 to get us through to the 5th.

It’s not a very long time, but that’s got to stretch for both food and gas so I can get back and forth to work.

Here’s the thing: I’m not asking for donations.

I’m asking for people to visit my etsy shop and possibly make a purchase. 

The two shawls are ready to ship and can be sent out generally next day. The hats and booties are made to order and will generally ship out in 2-3 days. All tarot readings are done per individual request and will generally be completed in 2-3 days, unless it’s one of the large ones, in which case they will be completed within 7 days. (They take hours to do.)

I know a lot of people are in the same boat as I am. If that’s the case, please consider a signal boost.

Thanks, lovelies!

Would it help if I added my ko-fi link?

Can confirm,from more than one source, that @stitch-n-time is an excellent tarot reader.

☽ Pocket Sigils - Sigil Enamel Pins KICKSTARTER! Coming soon!  ☾

After a long wait, here is the project I’ve been working on! 

I created the brand “Pocket Sigil”! I wish to do a great diversity of goodies with my sigil designs! I named it “Pocket Sigils” because I want them to be little things you can wear and have on you/in your pocket on your daily life (pins, charms etc.), so they can be effective all the time! For all witches of the world! And my first project will be this: 

Sigil enamel pins! ✨ I’ll launch a Kickstarter later this month and I really hope you’ll like the idea and help me fund this project! ♥ ✨  I’ll keep you updated! I send you lots of love ♥

Big thank you to Olympe, my little sister, for the logo ♥

Oh, I am digging the heck out of this.
