There is no one in the world with their heads further up their asses than abled bodied parents who think their disabled child’s illness is harder on them than it is on their disabled child.

The fact that Selma Blair, a successful, wealthy, white actress, “cried with relief” when she was diagnosed with MS. After YEARS of suffering, not being believed or taken seriously by her doctors (who I’m sure were some of the ‘“best” doctors available) and being left to suffer as her illness worsened should really shed a light on the systematic issues chronically ill people are facing. It’s 2019. It shouldn’t be this hard.

I swear I’ve got a type of esophageal paresis. Shit gets stuck in my throat and chest on a regular basis. And I don’t think it’s my Barrett’s. The symptoms don’t match. But man, I’ve got a vitamin c pill stuck in my chest that is absolutely killing me. You can feel it bubbling up your throat. Feel a gaseous nausea in your stomach and just a weird pain where the pill is actually stuck. And no matter how much I drink or eat it isn’t budging. Whyyyy body. Why. 😭😫😷
