ableism is a disease, but luckily there’s a cure:

unpopular opinion but i think we should only hire disabled people to be support specialists and accommodation advocates. i am so sick of having to go to an abled person who has never experienced the barrier of ableism in their life and trying to explain why i need certain accommodations because the “care and insight” they have to provide is always worse

if you look unwashed and underdressed at your appointment your doctor won’t take you seriously but if you dress up and do your makeup and whatever your doctor will also still not take you seriously. i hope this guide is helpful 👍

As someone with an undiagnosed disability (99% sure its fibromyalgia) that I've had since I was a little kid, I've never understood why adults feel the need to enter the Pain Olympics whenever a kid says they're in pain.

I cannot tell you how many times an adult told me over the years that "you're too young to be in that kind of pain" or the classic "wait until you're my age", insinuating that I was a little bitch who could never grasp what true pain really is.

Just yesterday I was in class and a guy near me mentioned that his back hurt, which our teacher heard and said "you're too young, just wait until your 50s, then it'll really hurt", and I hear this guy very quietly say that he has scoliosis.

It's so annoying. Why do you need to win the Pain Olympics? Why do you need to prove to a child that your life is harder than theirs? This is the reason I didn't know I had chronic pain until I was 16

pre meds take complaints about doctors and medical negligence sooo personally like they’re preemptively defending the shitty behavior and ableism they know they’re going to engage in. i want to have optimism for the future of healthcare but the people going into it already do not care about patients and seem to be getting a head start on their “you’re lying about your symptoms, go lose weight about it” mentality

they need to invent a digestive system that behaves predictably and correctly

i really hate the way that my severe gerd manifests. it feels like extreme hunger, like starvation levels but eating is not the solution and in fact makes it a million times worse, like a band is tightening around my chest and stomach and back and it’s burning until i’m on my hands and knees waiting to fall asleep or for someone to just put me out of my misery. haha does anyone else get that

They should invent doctors that actually give a shit about your rapidly decreasing health and rising levels of chronic pain that are slowly taking over and ruining your life.

So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like it’s morally righteous to force yourself to work while you’re sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. That’d be great

The leader of the scout group I help out at approached me out of hours while I was walking to work to tell me that people have been talking behind my back because I missed more sessions than I attended this term (on account of having Covid twice) and was like “We all show up when we’re sick because we take responsibility” and I felt really shitty and guilty and cried the whole workday then I got home and told my mum and she was like “So they want you to throw up on the kids? That’s dodgy. They don’t even pay you. Stop going” and a wave of serenity hit me like a bus

neurologist finally got on board with an mri to test me for ms after my insurance lapsed and i had no way to pay for the scan -_-

people who try to justify their lack of concern over covid (particularly new variants) by saying "don't worry, the only people seriously affected already had pre-existing health conditions!" are so unbelievably disgusting. how do you say shit like that without recognizing not only your privilege but your selfishness.

[gingamingayo]

so just fuck everybody else with compromised immune systems. fuck the eldery, fuck the children, fuck the disabled and everyone trying to protect their loved ones. your immune system can handle this so i guess it's fine to not mask or take any sort of precaution. just spread that shit all over your community because at least you're not gonna be the one to die a horrible death. fuck every last one of you.

[gingamingayo]

don't worry guys, only the weak and vulnerable are dropping like flies! false alarm! everything may proceed as usual <3

if accessibility can break a system then the system needs to be broken

fr though that heartburn was so bad it almost felt like a heart attack. i had to crawl to the bathroom on my hands and knees because it hurt too much to stand. i was producing sooo much saliva i felt like my chihuahua when he gets his seizures. truly cannot convey with words how badly this hurt
