When people see me using my mobility aids and say “feel better soon!” I want to scream back “I won’t!”. It’s chronic pain, spine injury, and a permanent invisible dynamic disability. #MeningelCyst #PartialParalysis #SpineInjury #ChronicPain 1/

Them: “Can you go up the stairs?” Me: *wondering how many and how far* “um…” Them: “well that’s the only option, anyway.” Me: 😐 “…ok then.” #WheelchairUser #Europe #Disability #DisabledLife #SpineInjury #PartialParalysis

Trying to deconstruct the internal ableism that tells me I’m a burden to my family. Trying to learn a new way to live now with my limitations. Grieving what my life once was. Celebrating it’s not worse. Fearing it will be. I’m…tired. #Spoonie #hEDS #MeningealCyst #SuddenParalysis #PartialParalysis

Love it when I see a specialist trying to confirm or rule out a condition and they ask me why I bothered. Umm…because I need to understand how my body works? Especially if it’s doing weird things. 😒🦓 #ChronicPain #DisabilityLife #Hypermobility #PartialParalysis
