People with disabilities have long faced disparities in health care and the situation is often exaggerated by the fact that many doctors and dentists receive little to no training in how to meet the needs of such patients.

988, the new number for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, has now launched in Louisiana. Call, text or chat to be connected with trained compassionate crisis counselors. There is never any shame in asking for help, and this resource is a safe place to get support.

Medical attention is needed because #fibromyalgia can be difficult to manage. As it is a syndrome, each patient will experience a different set of symptoms, and an individual treatment plan will be necessary. - Medical News Today

“People assume if you‘re using a disabled parking pass, it must mean you should be in a wheelchair or use a #mobility device. But not all #disabilities are visible… You don’t deserve judgment just because you don’t fit society’s narrative of #disability.” https://t.co/NfqTkqCkJo

Fibromyalgia is characterized by chronic widespread pain, allodynia, stiffness, sleep disorders and fatigue. #Fibromyalgia #FM #FMS #Fibro #FibromyalgiaAwareness #FibromyalgiaAwarenessMonth #ThisIsFibro

“When you have a chronic illness the last thing you want to hear is, “it’s all in your head." I cannot stress how important it is to find someone who will listen.” ~ Rachel Barclift #FibromyalgiaAwarenessMonth #FibromyalgiaAwareness #ThisIsFibro

Businesses: If you have stairs, please have a ramp. If you have a parking lot, please let it be concrete not gravel.

Before Connor I never noticed how inaccessible places were bc it didn’t affect me. Now it does and I’ll never stop talking about the importance of accessibility.

Just because I'm used to it...
Just because I manage it...
Just because I live with it...
Doesn't mean I no longer hurt.
It takes strength to tolerate every symptom of Fibromyalgia every single day.

HB 645 is debated on the House floor in today’s session. It creates a trust fund to provide home care to seniors using surplus money-thus creating a choice to live at home longer. @lalegis

Appropriations amendments would spend $2M state general fund to add 250 Community Choices waiver slots, use $3.8M for rate increases to Early Steps program providers. #lalege
