I Didnt Realize It Wasnt Normal To Live In Constant Pain Every Day Until A Couple Years Ago And I Only

I didn’t realize it wasn’t normal to live in constant pain every day until a couple years ago and I only realized it because my friends can still run and jump while I’m just deteriorating and can barely walk half the time. For perspective I’m only 20…

When you’ve always been seen as the strong friend (mentally or physically or both) it’s really hard to accept when you need help or when you can’t fill that position that others see you in. Sometimes you need to either accept or ask for help from those around you. Whether that’s from the medical side (which I know is awful right now like seriously why is it so hard to get what we need) or from friends and family, we need to start asking for help.

i'm on a seaweed diet i see wead i smoke it

Any tips for getting an Ehlers Danlos Syndrome diagnosis??? Several of my docs have suggested that I have it but no one has actually done any tests pls help y’all. I’m sick of asking and getting nowhere

Since APPARENTLY this needs to be said AGAIN

Wheelchair seating is for (surprise) wheelchair users. We need that spot because it is the only safe spot on the bus for us. The ONLY reason you shouldn't move for someone in a wheelchair from the wheelchair spot is if you are also in a wheelchair and got their first. I WILL keep yelling at people to move.

Also the DISABLED seating is for DISABLED people! It is NOT for your fucking kids or luggage. You wanting your kids to have a better view on a long trip (literally just happened to me) is no fucking reason to take all the fucking disabled seating. I had to have multiple people help me up the fucking steep ass stairs to sit on the normal seat area. I'm in so much pain now from the effort. It took forever. And I get to feel humiliated for not being able to make it to my seat.

Now imagine instead of having a little walking capability I had none. I may have not made it on the bus home.

Abled people reblog but stop adding things like "do people really do this?" "But I don't do this" "this is just common courtesy" I wouldn't constantly be posting about it if it didnt constantly happen for fucks sake

When they ask where it hurts...
