Pro tip: If you know someone has issues with their immune system, tell them if you get sick. If you have plans, let them know you’re sick (yes, even if you’re “mostly over it”). If they choose to risk it, then at least it’s their choice, and they can take extra steps to avoid catching your bug.

If they ask to reschedule, or do go but refuse to touch you or get to close, don’t get angry. Don’t be offended. They’re literally just trying to look out for their health.

Even if it’s a scratchy throat, or you feel a little stuffed up, and you’re not “really sick”, still say something.

No offense but I’ve literally never forgiven anyone or gotten over anything in my life

So you know how a lot of medical response to chronic pain and fatigue is ‘oh just exercise more and you’ll be less tired!’

TURNS OUT YOU CAN’T EXERCISE OUT OF BEING IN AWFUL PAIN FROM YOUR *NERVES WORKING WRONG*.

Reblogging because it makes me so fucking mad to see bad science used against disabled folks, and this needs to be boosted to the high fucking heavens…

When we talk about being fat-positive and we say, “weight is not an indication of health,” I will reblog it. But I want us to also say, “health is not an indication of value.”

I could be at any weight and I will never be healthy, because I am chronically ill. Someone might be chronically ill and fat, or they might be chronically ill and not fat, and it really doesn’t matter.

When you make it about health, you’re saying health is the pinnacle of human achievement, and you’re shitting on those of us for whom health will always be a pipe dream.
