🥲🥲

Aww thank you!! 🙏

Thank you for sharing! 🖤

Wishing all who are celebrating today a very happy, gentle Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for all the community and solidarity here amongst the chronic illness and disability community. I truly don’t know what I’d do without you all 🙏🦃

I’m chronically ill so I probably can’t jingle all the way. Maybe half way

I don’t expect everyone to automatically just know what living with my chronic illnesses is like. But I so appreciate people who are willing to try. Just listening and believing me is a great start.

A haunted house but it’s just people asking me if I’ve tried yoga

I’m not “lazy”. I’m a motivated person trapped in a sick body.

I spent a lot of today thinking it was Thursday

If you’re in the market for some high-quality KN95s, I recently became an affiliate with Kind Mask! I’ve seen several mutuals rocking these respirators and I can’t wait to finally try em out once they arrive in the mail. Use POTATUM25 for 25% off your entire order 🫡

Chronically ill people make Santa’s nice list by default—we literally don’t even have the energy to be naughty! 😈😂

The devil couldn’t reach me so he became my health insurance company…

Have you heard of The Teal Pumpkin Project?

It’s October. Welcome to “October slide” if it hasn’t already started for you… 🫠

She’s a 10 but on the pain scale.

At what age do you stop searching for an adultier adult? 😀

"So this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

Being diagnosed with ehlers-danlos syndrome later in life has felt like watching a movie all over again except this time you notice all the foreshadowing.

A gorgeous hummingbird picture from my dad to break up your feed! He said they’ve been coming to his feeder a lot more lately.

I wish I could at least take weekends off from my chronic illnesses.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome be like: Ok so…✍️ your symptoms are everything you can possibly think of and a few extra that you’ve never heard of!

My body is like a junk drawer full of diagnoses just rattling around

Doctors believing and treating their patients is a form of suicide prevention.

As a chronically ill person when I’m burnt out it’s actually more like completely charred.

I be like “IDC” or “IDGAF” And then run fake scenarios in my head for years for how I could’ve responded differently

Remember when BBL meant “be back later”?

=^.^=

“It could be worse” It also could be better. So what’s your point?

Apparently the “tired girl” look is trending among celebrities right now. I have been preparing for this my whole life!!!

Forgive me for what I said when I was overstimulated

A very special Bandit boy crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He was the snuggliest, goofiest, toofiest guy ever! 💔🐾 He gave us 5 years of joy, laughter, and the warmest snuggles. We will miss him forever

Why do cars speak goose? 🪿

EDS is such bullshit because all the symptoms sound so unbelievable but is VERY real.

My Roman Empire is that I’ll be sick every single day for the rest of my life. Birthdays, holidays, all the days.

🎵Hey there Delilah, what’s it like to not feel *shitty*? 🎵

Another day, etc

So true.

Me: Doing dishes My POTS: BITCH, ARE YOU RUNNING A MARATHON?? 🫀

I would just like to be in an upward spiral for once

What do you think about the Mandela effect?

Just saw a video of 2 best friends traveling to Alaska together and I wish I could do things like that. And now the grief of being chronically ill is hitting me all over again.

I often get homesick for the family cabin we had when I was a kid. The trees, the hammock, the porch, the hummingbirds, the squirrels, the home cooked meals from grandma, and doing puzzles or playing card games and not caring about the outside world for a little while…🥹

IV DEXTROSE (labelled as glucose) can result in ANAPHYLAXIS. When will anyone care enough to make sure corn allergic patients are safe from being prescribed medications containing MAIZE CORN? When will corn be taken out of essential drugs and medicines permanently?

Facts

Do you think fragrance will ever be treated similarly to smoke? 🚬

Just saw something that said: “Old folklore says you know you are a witch if you are heat intolerant because it reminds you of being burned in the trials” I think I like this explanation better for my POTS 🫢
