but i stay silly! *←said in the most world-weary voice you ever did hear*

Reblog you stay silly

it’s funny when abled people make chronically ill + disabled pain about themselves. “you keep cancelling, you’re inconveniencing me with your pain, your triggers and symptoms are too much for me, you never talk about anything else” oh, am I not performing to your satisfaction? is my pain supposed to be about you? am I supposed to be “healed” and feeling better because I got a diagnosis? oh, am I supposed to accommodate my pain and suffering on your schedule? should I reschedule vomiting, passing out, and having excruciating pain? believe it or not ableists, the unimaginable pain I endure and suffer with actually happens in my body. it’s about me. how shocking, right? it is about me, it doesn’t have a schedule, and im not apologizing for being in pain. I’m not going above and beyond to prove that im sick. I’m not tolerating unsolicited advice. hope this helps

I wish bodies had removable batteries like phones or laptops, so you could take them out and replace them when they didn't hold charge anymore.

when some abled people say, “well what did you do to bring pain? you must have done something. maybe you shouldn’t do that if you don’t want to bring pain in” it invalidates us because we don’t have to do anything. we can wake up and be in excruciating, unimaginable pain. our bodies can feel heavy, we can feel so nauseous we will never stop vomiting, we could be on our way to pass out. what do you mean “what did we do” WE ARE LITERALLY JUST TRYING TO BREATHE AND SOMEWHAT FUNCTION. I didn’t invite the pain in. it just fucking invaded me and has never left

when will they invent doctors appointments that dont feel like psychological torture

Showering shouldn't take so much energy.

I think the most common casual ableism that I experience is people not slowing down when I’m walking with them. These people know I’m disabled, sometimes I’m actively telling them about how it’s difficult for me to walk, and yet they still walk two to three feet ahead and look back at me in annoyance that I’m walking slow. What’s the point of walking faster until you’re a few feet ahead and then slowing down and then speeding up again? Just walk at my speed it’s not that hard!

disabled people are often in permacrisis

there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

its actually super homophobic and transphobic that im still disabled during pride month wtf

Fuck heat intolerance and exercise intolerance. I cant fucking sit without sweating my ass off and having a high heart rate, and when I just walk i end up dripping and with an extremely high heart rate. The fuck is up with that shit.

Please don't forget this shit, after it happened to a family member, he died 8 years later because of the continuing health complications even though he survived the initial overdose

I didn't know this for years, and I took so many pills, sometimes 4 at one go, every four hours, like 16 a day, because of endometriosis and migraines. It took a migraine specialist to explain rebound headaches and overdoses when I was in my 40s. Then I went cold turkey on all OTC drugs to get off the cycle. Please, please, if a couple tylenol aren't working for you, talk to your doctor or find one who will listen to you if you can.

and OP mentioned both names, but I'm highlighting it again: when you travel internationally, this compound has different names. in the US it is called acetaminophen, while in Europe and elsewhere it is called paracetamol. Pharmacists often use the abbreviation "APAP" which is short for its IUPAC name, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol. They are the same compound. If a product says "do not take with products containing paracetamol," check the labels of other products not just for "paracetamol" but also for "acetaminophen."
