I would do anything for a Selective Mutism Bunny!

Some ideas I’ve had:

• Teal color, because teal is the SM Ribbon color.
• Maybe lighter blue areas, like the feet, to represent freezing in place
• A choker to represent feeling choked up/the throat closing up and feeling unable to get words out.
• A sewn up mouth to represent being unable to speak even when you want to
• Big, sad eyes to represent trying to communicate through your eyes in desperation
• Mute symbols in the ears as a design
• A full blast symbol on the back of the head to represent loud thoughts in your head

To clarify: EM spreads faster when it does spread would be a better way to put it. As CRPS can spread.

This is a wonderful question! EM and crps can be similar in symptoms! I have both due to nerve damage from my EM.

EM tends to feel more like you’re burning or melting. Like literally. You can’t regulate your own tempature as much and there tends to be alot more swelling. It’s worsened by heat and exercise. You struggle to feel tempatures as they actually are. Everything feels warmer. Rashes appear more RED RED. It can spread throughout your body. It involves more swelling and paroxysmal vasodilation.

CRPS feels more like you’re being crushed and pulled on opposite ends. Or even a stabbing pain. Cold can make it worse and heat can help it feel better. It can spread, but it’s mostly localized to injured areas (there are outliers). Rashes appear more purple with red in it.

The biggest difference would be primary EM cases like mine. Caused by genetic mutations in the scn9a gene. Basically more pain signals go through the sodium ion channel so we feel more pain. It also disrupts blood vessel function. Idk how to explain secondary.

I 100% agree. You’re doing a good job. Im saying that because we never get told that enough.

Do you do or would you do multiple Illness plushies? I have fibro, Arthritis, hyper mobile,
