I had a doctors appointment today and for the first time ever she gave me the review sheet instead of my mom. And I was looking over the review of systems. And the doctor didn’t ask me about any of them. But she denied allllllll of them. Despite my previous claims of cold intolerance, joint pain, muscle weakness ( I was wearing on if my braces for goodness sakes), fatigue and just general other symptoms I have that she KNOWS about. Denied all of them. Oh! And apparently I’ve progressed so far into hashimotos that I now have Hypothyroidism. And she didn’t mention that either. Was a wonderful day /src
If my mutuals can’t rb this then we can’t be mutuals
hate hate hate it when adults tell younger people they're "too young to experience (x.)"
pain, memory loss, mobility aids, and disability are not exclusive to older people. young people can be disabled.
im nearly sixteen, and i have a hellish mixture of scoliosis and kyphosis. on top of that, i experience amnesia DAILY. my back doesnt hurt every day, and my brain doesnt refuse to remember important things just for you to say only old people can experience these things.
any other hypermobile folks need to remind themselves to walk right? i need to consciously tell myself to bend my knees and walk heel to toe.
Okay i doubt Disney put this much thought into it but
In rise of red we get to see Maleficent. And she doesn’t have her wings. For those of you who don’t know, in the live action movie, Maleficent was assaulted by someone she trusted and he tore her wings off.
Which means at this point in time Maleficent is already an assault victim and is probably attending school with her assaulter.
No wonder she hangs around the god of the underworld, a daughter of Neptune, and two gay guys.
Shes surrounding herself with people who make her feel safe and guard her from weakness.
Just a thought…
My foot has been hurting for the last five days and is making it agonizing to try and do my PT.
Nothing looks wrong, it’s not a joint (I think?)
It doesn’t hurt all the time but if I bend my foot up towards my ankle it hurts or point it.
This is weird
i love you mr vinman
Hot take but canes are not a limited resource. Most mobility aids aren’t but canes especially. Canes are $20 at a lot of stores like CVS, Walmart, etc. You aren’t taking that resource away from “real” disabled people (hint: you ARE a real disabled person) in fact buying more canes creates more demand and works to make more stores carry them for better prices. You aren’t faking being disabled or hurting disabled people, you’re working to make canes more accessible which is helping disabled people.
Get the cane.
Yo I also have over pronated ankles and wear insoles and hypermobile eds, but I have been wearing these insoles for a decade and I was only diagnosed with eds earlier this year. And they’re custom insoles from like a military doctor because of how messed up my ankles are cause they normally only do those for veterans and not dependents.
How did it take this long for me to be diagnosed?!?!?
I’ve been unable to get the insoles I have been using for years and went with a “recommended brand”.
Of course I spent a whole month trying to keep my knee in place before it occured to me that the new insoles were not doing their job.
Anyway, I now recommend PCSsole Heavy Duty Arch supports for over pronation, because I can walk again.
I love all things frog, mushroom, rainbow high… I have Ehlers danlos syndrome and use both a rollator and a cane. Enby that is bad at making friends but likes to have them. I adore many cartoons but haven’t seen even more.
