Dislocations

[SophieeBabessxo]

I'm guessing your balance isn't as good as others, like mine. I'm also seriously clumsy :L I tend to walk into things a lot

my pt told me that there are three things that contribute to balance: vision, joints, and the inner ear.

Well I have a severe vision impairment, EDS, and Dysaut. My chances are shot LOL

awwwh
i get loads of infections with my inner ear

I get alot of infections in my inner ear as well, and then usually get Vertigo from it...

YUCK!

Brittany, if these ear infections make your ears ring constantly, combined with the vertigo, I would look into Meneire's disease. My older sister has it and there are a lot of environmental triggers that can cause it. For Jess, it's caffeine, high fructose corn syrup, and sodium. And she has a wheat allergy. So, pretty much she can't eat anything she likes. Meneire's gave her a ton of trouble a while back, before she was diagnosed with it, and now that she's eliminated the triggers, she's rarely ever bothered by it.

Yeah I wake up every night to relocate my right shoulder *eyeroll*

[xxBrittany]

That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing that, and I will definitely ask my doctor about it the next time I see her!

I seem to dislocate my wrist everyday- really painful because it traps nerves and makes my hand go numb and really cold and it also shakes really badly...

[xxBrittany]

Ouch. Have you been to an orthopedic doctor for that, Alice?

[Arinai]

Yup. My shoulders (especially the right one) are in a constant state of subluxation now. I had a really bad dislocation in my right shoulder just tonight because my bf accidentally grabbed my arm wrong. Its quite annoying. I also get them in my hips, sometimes my knees and elbows or fingers, and very rarely my right ankle.
