@timboxall I have been with a friend who rolls her eyes and says “what are you taking NOW?” - she is so lucky rarely even a paracetamol.

If you take medication to ameliorate the effects of a chronic condition or #disability, you should never feel embarrassed, ashamed, or guilty.

So much of society is geared to the ableist perception that taking medication is somehow inherently a weakness, or a sign of failure.

Of course, there's then the quacks, oddballs, and snake oil salespersons who will insist their remedies are some form of cure all.

Medications, drugs, and pharmaceutical treatments can make our lives as #disabled people bearable. It can even be the defining line between life and death for some.

I suppose - in a very, very bizarre way - that I'm lucky to have been on medication since I was 12 (just #epilepsy then, before developing #MS) because it meant I never created the internalised ableism in which I would criticise myself for taking medication. Without my meds, my life would've been endless seizures (as evidenced by exactly that when I forgot to take them), so my child and adulthood have been easier, and indeed less dangerous to me and others.

We aren't weak for taking medication. We're managing our lives in order to maintain some form of normalcy, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. To any of my disabled friends, dot listen to that ableism, and to those able-bodied who would cast aspersions I ask that you not be judgemental.
