CRPScore

I have never wanted to sue my old dr. more than I have for the past week. This flare is agony, and the worst part is that I didn't have to be this sick

Beast Wars so peak

I have CRPS, and I have many difficulties with my family. My parents say that if I don't push myself past my limits, then I'll never "get better." I understand that it's hard to watch a lived one suffer, but not every disease can be cured, at least not yet. I don't understand this extreme focus that abled people have on "getting better" or a "cure" instead of trying to accommodate us and make our lives more comfortable. We're already in pain all. the. time. we don't need to make our lives worse by pushing ourselves into even more excruciating pain. The closest things we have for a "cure" for CRPS are a spinal cord stimulator and ketamine therapy, and both of those are EXTREMELY expensive (I live in the US rip). Walking 3 miles when my lower half is in agony isn't the solution they think it is, and I HATE when my parents say, "Well, you made it, so you should be proud!" Then when I politely tell them where they can shove it, they act like I'm a lunatic and in the wrong. I would love to no longer have this disease. Trust me, it sucks, but I don't need people trying to push me into a cure that isn't helpful and only makes my life more painful and uncomfortable.

As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

All of these have really happened to me and my friends, gotta love the ableds

I hate the process of trying to save for a new wheelchair while being a full time student. I was gonna try and work to save this summer, but some circumstances have come up and now I might not be able to. I'm so frustrated and upset, I've needed a new wheelchair for over a year and no one has tried to help me get one. Just some parental support would be nice but I get none of that either.

[ahyenabro]

It's amazing how differently people treat you based on what mobility aid you're using. When I'm using my cane I get funny looks from people because I'm a young person and "do you really need that?". Almost nobody holds the door for for me and when I drop something almost nobody helps me pick it up.

When I'm using my forearm crutches people are a little nicer but not by much. I get less funny looks and more people hold the door for me, but still hardly anyone helps me pick up stuff I drop. And if I'm out alone shopping or something, nobody helps me reach stuff on high shelves unless I ask. I get not wanting to come off as ableist by offering to help, but if you see someone clearly struggling you might want to step in.

Now when I'm using my wheelchair, that's a whole different ballgame. Almost everyone is holding doors, helping me pick up stuff, helping me with high shelves, and being really nice to me. But people often infantilize me when I'm using a wheelchair. They always smile at me, which sounds nice, but it's usually in a way you would smile at a little kid out in public. If I'm with someone then people will talk to them instead of me, and if I'm alone people will talk slowly to me or in a high pitched voice.

It's literally not that hard to be normal around disabled people I just don't get it.

I just got a new cane for christmas and I wasn't sure what to do with it but I've decided to make it pigeon themed! I ordered some pigeon stickers and I'll be looking for a pigeon keychain to put on the end with the strap.

Able bodied parents I'm begging you to teach your kids about disabled people. Not just because they could become disabled themselves one day but also because even if they don't, they have a very real chance of being rude to us if you don't teach them.

Yes, kids just say shit. They have no filter. That doesn't make it any less humiliating when your child sits near me on the bus and incessantly grills me on why I have a stick when I'm not old. Or laughs at us for things our disability causes. It doesn't take away the hurt when they bully a disabled classmate. For a large part these things could be avoided if you just taught your kids to respect us. It's really not that hard.

[ahyenabro]

Absolutely this! I understand that kids don't know, but that means it's your job as a parent to teach them! Kids don't know things about the world, they're literally new at being people, that why the people who are experienced need to educate the kids and themselves. The fact that "kids don't know better" isn't an excuse for repeated behavior.
