The past few weeks I’ve been working on no-toxic-positivity positive quotes and designs to remind you to keep smiling 😊 I’m not the best at drawing but this project means a lot to me and I’d really appreciate some help in getting started! kickstarter.com/projects/georg…

Me too. Byeee 👋

@Owl_ofthewoods Sarcastic but I didn’t already know (kind of). You’d think someone would have picked it up already tho - had physio like 4 times before and no one said anything

@georginaebanks Was your tweet sarcastic btw? The "who knew" makes me wonder if you already knew that? Or maybe I just need more sleep? 😌

Spoke to a physio yesterday who said what I thought was just my joints sliding around was actually them subluxating many many times a day. Who knew 🤷‍♀️

@Owl_ofthewoods Ouchhhhh I know the feeling

@georginaebanks The joints in my feet feel slidey too. And then something bad happens with the subluxing and it's ABSOLUTE PAIN.🥺

you've heard of professional diagnosis, you've heard of self-diagnosis, now get ready for "literally told by a medical professional that you do actually have this condition but they just don't want to diagnose you bc reasons" /hj

Saving money while being chronically ill/disabled feels absolutely impossible a lot of the times because the income is so low and the costs are so high.

@Chelsea_Fawcett Oh no 😂

Fighting the urge not to reply “I’m alright, thank you. How are you?” when a doctor asks “How are you?” takes a different kind of strength

The absolute best thing about using a wheelchair is the increased likelihood that, at any given moment, you will have a cat on your lap.

One thing that really bothers me about my chronic illnesses is not being able to do things. Not obvious things like eating normally or going on walks, but things I’ll never be allowed to do like giving blood or being an astronaut

@GinnyAndT Start studying again. Not being able to process information bothers me so much

A quick list of some brain areas probably relevant to FND: amygdala insula anterior cingulate precuneus periacqueductal grey supplementary motor area temporo-parietal junction ventromedial + dorsolateral PFC and lastly not leastly, cerebellum

@notreallyjcm I’m from the UK and hate tea

What's a food that's part of your region and/or culture that you do not care for? I'm a southerner and I hate boiled peanuts

@Sicksplaining Hey! I’m 19 and a chronic illness advocate 💛

Hi everyone. I am helping an ME patient, who is looking to follow some younger chronic illness advocates (40 and under). I can think of a few I really like, but who would you recommend?

When referring to people with invisible disabilities, what do I call us? Invisibly disabled?
