Oh hey, I’m vegan too! High five for being ethical and eating well.

I have the extra bendy with some unstable joints condition too, (that the doctor wouldn’t diagnose as Ehlers-Danlos because it’s too popular on ticktock with young women right now, despite my being in my mid thirties and I quote, “impressively flexible, does that hurt?”…) but I’d not considered rheumatism yet. Thank you for this information.

I though I was dealing with autism burnout for years at first but it’s been nearly 8 now since it hit, and for most of that all I had the energy for was weekly food prep and showers, so changing my diet was the easiest thing to try to see if it would help. Cutting out dairy was a huge improvement for energy and wheat has been on par with that when nothing else- carbs, fodmap, there were others my memory still sucks, was.

Ok I’m starting to feel weird talking about myself so much on the internet. It was nice to find another going through similar. I’m sending you well wishes for energy on your adventures and for luck with doctors.
