Some people don’t want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesn’t mean everyone else can.

PLEASE HELP A DISABLED PERSON

I had a fainting episode from my POTS. I have a broken nose, stitches on my nose and the inside and outside of my mouth, a concussion, a sprained neck, and an injured tooth and tailbone

My husband has to stay home with me, and we have so many bills including medical bills and medical supplies that we need to buy. If ANYONE can help, thank you so much.

visibly disabled people will present others with the most basic and easy to understand request like “please don’t talk to me like I am a small child” and in response people will just start monologuing about how difficult and confusing this is for them and how they’re doing their best and how they need patience and understanding too and it’s so fucking tiring lol

Had an appointment with my neurologist today. Guess who went there with a stupid spark of hope to be taken seriosly this time and ended up crying ugly in the parking lot 🙃🙃

Why why why do medical professionals so insistently push people with chronic pain to “just push through it.”

I’m in a flare right now and my left hip has been hurting no stop for almost three weeks. My physical therapist knows this and I reminded her last time I saw her. So tell me why she proceeded to have me do a bunch of jumping exercises landing with all my weight on my left leg.

I told her the exercises were hurting a lot and she told me to just work through it. Well it’s been half a week and ever since that appointment my hip has hurt even more than before.

I've been worried ever since I was born

weird as fuck living in a culture where it's considered more impolite to speak up and defend yourself against someone treating you unfairly than it is for someone to be rude to you in the first place
