Hot take,

As somone with several rare conditions, I personally love letting student doctors learn things by doingsomethinglike giving me an IV orbeven set up the stickers for my EEG. It makes me feel useful while I feel like shit

[chronicallyillguy]

"I don't know how you do it"

I don't have a choice. It is litterally "do or die"

[chronicallyillguy]

I've been sick for so long that feeling healthy for once genuinely feels like I'm dying

[chronicallyillguy]

I'm not faking being sick. I'm faking NOT being sick.

Friendly reminder for those who need to hear it:

Unapologetically, do whatever the f*ck you need to do to survive!

[chronicallyillguy]

Next time someone isn't paying attention to their surroundings and they kick my crutch out from under me, imma let myself fall.

Idc if I hurt something, atleast this person will learn the consequences of their actions

[zylahbee]

assuming someones health based on their age in a world where babies can be born with disabilities and illnesses, and elderly who can run marathons and live past 100 makes zero sense.

health will never automatically be a certain level based on age.

Privileges of being visibly disabled (sarcastic) edition:

People ask you about your medical history at random and sometimes without even a cursory greeting

People target you because they know you (presumably) can’t fight back

People treat you as both more or less capable than you actually are (whichever is more ableist)

Infrastructure is not accessible in many ways and even hostile at times (impacting those with blindness, deafness, mobility aid users, and more)

Your rides from apps get canceled due to your disability equipment

People get grossed out by what keeps you alive (ostomies, tubes, ports, etc)

People grabbing and moving you without consent

Being treated like furniture the more you are perceived to be disabled

Feel free to add your thoughts or other brilliant suggestions for this list.

"Using your crutches is gonna lead to muscular dystrophy!"

I cannot safely walk without them! If I do, I'm in horrible pain and my knee cap pops out!

[chronicallyillguy]

I feel like my body is rapidly giving up on itself
