yk something that irks me with disability is that like. i am a fall risk. yeah im 25. i literally just fell in the kitchen two minutes ago and im fuckin writing this post while dizzy and a hurt wrist and my ribs were banged. and yet very often when i tell ppl im a severe fall risk they look at me like im fucking crazy or i must be the wrong one. mf im an ambulatory wheelchair user who also uses a cane and arm crutches! it really shouldn't be that fucking surprising! and YET

Contemplating pulling out my central nervous system and crocheting it into a shitty paraglider so it can let me down one last time

Not even 24 hours after i finally decide to live the feedee weight gain life of my dreams -

I get a fucking fibro flareup from the pizza and chips i gorged on, and now i’m doubled over in bed with no appetite 🙃💀

If anybody out there has any good food reccs for glutenfree, dairyfree, and low fodmap, that’d be greeeeaaat

Now i’ll put away my phone cause i’ve got a migraine as well woooooOOOoo

Since when was saying "handicapped" a bad thing??

google is free. literally you can look it up and several different sources will tell you that it is, in fact, a slur when used for disabled people as a descriptor, instead of as a descriptor for something else (ie "handicapped parking space").

do not fucking describe somebody who is disabled as "handicapped".

sincerely, a wheelchair user.

you ever have chronic pain so bad you start panting and shaking and trembling like a chihuahua. my whole body hurts and its tender and i cant breathe in fully because it hurts to breathe

man. i shouldnt have to be so extremely knowledgeable and competent abt my own diagnosis of fibromyalgia. i should be able to trust that doctors will help me, take me seriously, and not gaslight me. i should trust that i will get the help i need and deserve. i shouldnt have to know every little thing about every facet of my condition, just the salient bits like most ppl do w other conditions. it fucking sucks.
