You should not constantly have to fight for basic level medical care. You shouldn't need to be highly educated to be able to navigate your way out of bad care. Privilege should not be a variable in care. You deserve better. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

If you think taking precautions during your ongoing pandemic plus other viral outbreaks is a political stance, I have news for you: viruses don't know about your politics. All they want is to get in you and reproduce. Mask up, stay safe. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

If you have access to mobility devices, you should use whatever works for you and not worry about anybody else's opinion. You'll get terrible opinions and unsolicited advice, but you're getting that anyway with your chronic illness/disability so why not move more comfortably? emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

It's not only okay to quit hobbies that no longer bring you any joy; it's good for your health to learn to step away from stress instead of chasing it down the drain. You're allowed to try new things instead. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

I'm always glad to see you, even on your worst days. I'm not happy about your bad day, I'm just eager to do what I can to help. Never imagine you're not wanted just because you're going through something awful. You are wanted. I promise. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Health and being abled are not virtues. Nobody who is healthy/abled is any better as a person than someone with a chronic illness or who is disabled. The systemic notion that health/ability equals "inherently good" is the core of health supremacy, and it's not okay. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Every time I read history books about your era's medical systems, I'm freshly appalled at how systemic the ableism, racism, misogyny, misogynoir, homophobia, and transphobia is. I wish I could reach back through the years and make it better for you. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Assume that most profit-based advertisements for most health-related products in your era are full of lies. It will save you time, money, and pain. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

You deserve good health care. You are not a burden just because you have chronic health problems and/or disabilities. Health care workers should actively want to help you! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

This is your friendly Doctor-Mom reminder to hydrate, put on sunscreen, take your meds, take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, eat whatever you can manage, and move your body a bit if you can. Oh and give yourself a great big hug from me! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon, pill, water cup with straw, lotion bottle

Your era would benefit from making it easier for people with disabilities/chronic illness to find careers as health care workers. No wonder ableism is rampant in a profession that rarely employs disabled people. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Making things work within your needs is never "cheating". Workarounds, shortcuts, anything that gets more done with less energy used is efficiency, not cheating. Good job finding things that work for you! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

"Have you tried…" are three of the most frustrating words for anyone with a disability/chronic illness to hear. The answer is almost always "yes" and it's exhausting to have to constantly defend against ensuing quizzes. Information should come with consent and respect. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

27/06/2026 Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Incoming Transmission…

Save yourself time and energy by avoiding entering into any new emotional relationships with anyone who doubts or dismisses your disabilities/medical conditions. You're worth believing and respecting from the start. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

As you fight for human rights, be sure you aren't doing so in a way that excludes other people's accessibility and safety rights. Wear a mask to protests. Do not block disabled access points. Do everything you can to make protests inclusive for all. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Asking for or accepting help doesn't mean you can't be otherwise independent, especially when independence is enhanced by even the smallest bit of support. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon
