"You're still chronically ill?"
No. I forgot to pay my chronic illness bill this month so they cut me off.

Society puts so much pressure on chronically ill people to be inspirational and/or recover

“#ChronicPain feels like your body has been invaded, taken over against your will. Held hostage by the very vessel that is here to serve us on our journey through life.” buff.ly/3A7WHC5 @OSufferer #ChronicIllness #Fibromyalgia #pwME

Chronic illness is already such a hard thing to deal with. And then people make it even harder. They judge you, disbelieve you, and abandon you. Doctors minimize it and gaslight you. Insurance fights you on everything. Pharmacies make it so complicated for you to get your meds. It’s beyond exhausting.

“It’s so easy to feel alone…I know I am not…there are millions…fighting the same fight. Fighting to be heard, fighting to be understood, fighting to be believed… Lately, I have felt drawn to lighthouses… Beacons of light in the darkness.” buff.ly/4eqRbcf @OSufferer

It’s disgusting that people with no lived experience of disability think they have the right to “debate” our existence.
It’s always over-privileged hacks, trying to earn clicks, looking at disabled people as £ signs.
Are you done with this negative narrative against disabled people?

Yes. Although at the cinema I like to be right at the front so I can pretend all the people behind me aren't there lol

“It is ironic that since I became unwell with two invisible illnesses I have almost become invisible myself. Slowly, bit by bit… It is almost as painful as suffering from the constant pain from #Fibromyalgia.” buff.ly/h0k7fVT @Osufferer #chronicillness #spoonie

I don’t trust anyone who says they cured their chronic illness and then tries to profit off you. If I ever find anything that fixes this sh*t I’m telling you all FOR FREE.

“The real me lost in the fog of #chronicillness. All they could feel was pity, all they could do was judge. I was still me. I just got ill… I didn’t cause it, I can’t cure it. I didn’t change. My health changed.” buff.ly/3MzB4Nv @Osufferer #pwME #Fibromyalgia #FND
