Hi,
I'm here mostly to blog about my experience of living with fibromyalgia/chronic illness (which will include some awareness and disability rights content), and to connect with other people who live with chronic illnesses and disabilities, but I'm also here for your memes, animal pics/videos, sci-fi references, random facts, and other stuff!
Always happy to receive asks ✌️

Managing Multiple Chronic Conditions: What Actually Helps
"Managing multiple chronic conditions is harder than managing one because you’re dealing with conditions that interact, treatment plans that sometimes conflict, and a baseline that shifts. What helps: understanding each condition individually rather than treating everything as one problem, being direct with your support network about what you actually need, simplifying your routines around real capacity, using adaptive tools without guilt, and actively noticing when things go well. None of it is a cure. All of it makes the day more workable."
Managing multiple chronic conditions isn't just harder than managing one — it's a different kind of problem. When your diagnoses interact an

"“Hard” is not a big enough word for how difficult the journey of accepting chronic pain and learning how to prevent the illness from getting in the way of living. The first year for me was the most difficult and it took tons of practice."
This is what you need to read.
"If you go into chronic pain with an outcome in mind or with the idea that you will one day forget you have pain, you will most likely prolong the process of living as opposed to surviving.
I live with chronic pain every day of my life. I made some room for it in my daily life so it doesn’t get in the way of my dreams and my desire to live. I have made changes in my life and I live a certain way in order to manage pain so that it does not manage me. Everyone needs to give themselves a break and slow down their expectations. You must allow yourself to cry and to feel the feelings you feel."
We're not lazy. We're sick and it sucks.
We're not flaky or making excuses. We would love to join in.
We're not faking. We often wish we were.
We're not too young. Chronic illness and disability can affect anyone.
We're not being "negative". We're telling it like it is.
We don't "just need to try harder." We've tried that.
We don't want your supplement or diet recommendations. We've tried those too.
We don't want your pity. We would like your support.
I understand why folks can be against “you can become disabled at any time” argument. But, I fear it is being flattened by identity politics. Yes, we should care about someone simply because they are human. However, it’s been my experience this discourse is used specifically in regards to accessibility and internalized ableism to display the fact that disability is inevitable and ableism impacts everyone, so it’s best to embrace accessibility and de-programming internalized ableism now.
For me, it’s less ‘be nice to disabled people because it could happen to you’ and more: accessibility already benefits everyone, ableism is deeply internalized in all of us, and most people will eventually have to confront dependence, limitation, chronic illness, pain, aging, or loss of function. So maybe unpacking that fear now matters.
Also, I honestly don’t think you can fully do anti-capitalist work without unpacking ableism because capitalism fundamentally relies on it.
abled people need to get comfortable with disabled people not having the energy to "dress up"
the amount of backhanded comments I'd heard from my irl friends about how they really like the times where I wear things other than sweatpants and hoodies and I should really work on creating my own style is insane
there are some days where I have enough energy to wear the things I want to wear, but those are rare. they need to get used to that.

I dunno if it's an intentional choice you're making (and if so, I'd be genuinely interested in hearing your reasoning), but just so you know, it's typically seen as best practice to *not* include alt text for images which are purely decorative (like the borders on your posts) according to the web accessibility initiative: w3(.)org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative. If you were coding directly, they recommend putting "" so that screen readers know to skip the image, but im not sure if that'll work on tumblr. They actually recommend limiting alt text significantly more than I see folks doing on tumblr, because screen-readers going through extraneous descriptions can make it harder to parse the actual important information.
thanks for letting me know! i used to see a lot of comments white-knighting on behalf of visually impaired users, so i assumed detailed image descriptions were standard practice.
that resource is super helpful, i will be using it to shape the way i write my image descriptions from now on. sharing this to my blog as well, for others trying to make their posts more accessible.
I'm thinking about expanding the Chronic Illness Resources Library to another platform so I'd like y'all's input ...
Is there a social media or blogging platform you spend more time on than Tumblr?
Is there a particular platform you think would be best suited?
Or just what is your favourite platform?
Which platform would be best suited or would you like to see CIRL on?

It's been a long time since I got a cold and I forgot how awful they are now with all the chronic illness interacting.
I didn't even go out very often but I have a child that goes to school and spend half the week with their mother, and my partner now has a job so I guess one of them brought something home 😔
And now I feel like I've been smacked in the back of the head, I'm struggling to breathe, everything aches, and I'm struggling even more to sleep.
not trying to be an asshole but you format posts like chatgpt. idk if you are using Ai to make your posts but if you are its noticable and should probably tag it as such.
I don't use any AI for my posts. This is just how I write. ✌️
(edited to add: weird that you'd say that now when I've barely written any posts recently)
*grips you*
your symptoms dont have to be the most severe to be valid. your symptoms are real, and others having worse symptoms doesn't mean anything about yours. its real, its valid and it deserves treatment

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget
Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me
Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care
Saving this article for my bad days...
"Pain whispers constantly in my head until I can’t tell if the words are truth or lies."
I've heard all six of these from my inner voice but on my better days I do believe that they are all absolute lies
