YESSSSSS THANK YOU! I Got Diagnosed With Juvenile Arthritis When I Was 8, And Only Just Now Got A Mobility

YESSSSSS THANK YOU! I got diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when I was 8, and only just now got a mobility aid to help me, because since i've been in remission (touch wood) for the last 4-5 years, whenever I tell people I'm disabled they act really surprised or just... don't believe me... (for some reason)

But I'm so happy that this post showed up for me!

Friendly reminder that:

Young people can have arthritis too.

There are hundreds of life long conditions and diseases out there that are typically diagnosed between 12 and 30.

There is a vast difference between being tired and having chronic fatigue.

Just because you can’t tell that someone is unwell from looking at them, doesn’t mean that you should assume that they are ok.

Many chronic illnesses are life long, and incurable. Many of them are potentially fatal.

If you have a disease like Lupus, on good days you still feel like you have a bad flu, 24/7.

Many of the medications used to treat chronic conditions have side effects that can really affect someone’s self esteem - like extreme weight gain, skin changes and hair loss.

Most chronic illnesses have very little awareness - its unlikely that you’ve heard of Sjogren’s Syndrome, Scleroderma, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Fibromyalgia.

However these diseases can cause symptoms as varied as joint pain, fatigue, constant nausea, kidney failure, pneumonia, photo sensitivity, full body rashes, paralysis, strokes etc.

So please remember that invisible illnesses exist too :)

Speak Your Language Day

BRINGING BACK THE DAY OF LANGUAGES!!!

This year's 7th of May 2023 we use our own language again!

A few basic rules (this is very much copied from the original UYLD creators):

If your language is something other than English, on May 7th you can speak that language all day!

Speak whatever language feels good for you! Any and all!!

You’ll blog in your language all day: text posts, replies, tags (except triggers and organizational tags), the whole nine yards. Regardless of what language people choose to speak to you, you answer in your own.

Midnight to midnight according to your own time zone

English native speakers, if you wanna participate you can practice a second language you’re learning

The tag is gonna be #Speak Your Language Day or #spyld

Non-verbal, non-written languages (like ASl, dialects, otherwise non-written languages) are more than welcome!

Tag me in any and all non english posts! Or submit to your liking!

People are often surprised I speak four languages but I consider it to be fairly average for where I'm from so now I'm curious

*if you're confused whether a language counts or not, ask yourself if you can hold a basic conversation in it. If not, and you can only understand but not speak it, skip it.

A friend of mine told me about this really weird dream they had recently.

They were sitting at a table, eating soup, and across from them, a raccoon was also eating soup. The raccoon didn't do anything bad, it just finished the soup politely, using a little spoon and all.

A little strange, but not the weirdest/creepiest.
