“I suck it up and push through with my disabilities. So can you”

You actually don’t get extra points for making yourself suffer. It doesn’t make you better.

Invisible illness: where “fine” could mean five different pain levels. #ChronicPain

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

Being chronically ill while young changes the way you view aging.

Most people spend their younger years assuming physical limitation belongs to some distant future version of themselves.

Some of us learn much earlier that the body doesn’t always follow that timeline.

This is how chronic illness feels 🫣

[𝘓𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳 #dolorcronico, #apoyomutuo 📚🫂 @leo_veritas]

Lo que no se ve, también duele. 🤝
Y somos muchos en este mundo de Twitter.

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

People underestimate how much chronic illness can affect cognitive function.

Pain. Poor sleep. Autonomic dysfunction. Inflammation. Constant physiological stress.

All of it can impair attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.

“Brain fog” sounds harmless until you actually live with it.

💬 “A mí no se me informó de que la Esclerosis Múltiple puede ser muy diferente según las personas. Es un punto importante para tratar en el diagnóstico porque tendemos a generalizar”.

💬 “Me gustaría saber qué hacer para evitar el sufrimiento de los que están a tu alrededor”.

Cada diagnóstico de EM es distinto.
🧡 Y cada experiencia merece ser escuchada.

¿Cómo podría haber sido mejor tu experiencia con el diagnóstico de Esclerosis Múltiple?

people truly do not understand that disabled people do not have the same energy levels as normal people.. it takes so much energy to do such menial tasks that if a disabled person deems a task unworthy of their energy who tf are you to argue that

A productive day for a chronically person can be a slow day for a healthy person

I wish “doing nothing” healed things as fast as people think it does. #ChronicLife

Central vein sign and paramagnetic rim lesions represents potentially advantageous #MultipleSclerosis diagnostic biomarkers, with increased specificity.

Lo que CUESTA tener discapacidad:

→ Productos de apoyo: 500-5000€
→ Adaptaciones hogar: 2000-15000€
→ Terapias privadas: 30-60€/sesión
→ Tiempo perdido en trámites: incontable
→ Energía emocional: infinita

Y luego te dicen que hay "ayudas".

Sí. Después de gastarte una fortuna. 💜💸

Spinal cord imaging in #MultipleSclerosis needs improvements in acquisition and post-processing to enhance its effectiveness and applicability in future clinical trials.

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

Chronic illness teaches you how quickly people lose patience with something that isn’t improving.

At first it’s concern.
Then it’s suggestions.
Then it’s silence.

Once it becomes clear this isn’t going away, people stop caring the way they did in the beginning.

Hey doctors!

“I don’t know” is a valid answer.

Gaslighting patients because you don’t recognize something
isn’t.

[Juan Francisco Susin R. @JuanFSusin]

Palabras que tu médico DEBE usar en informes:

❌ "Le cuesta"
✅ "Limitación funcional"

❌ "Tiene dolor"
✅ "Dolor crónico que interfiere con AVD"

❌ "Se cansa"
✅ "Fatiga discapacitante"

El lenguaje técnico importa.
Los baremos buscan estas palabras. 📝

Guarda esto.

Please don't forget that the only difference between you and a disabled person is time. Even if the disability is temporary, it will happen in your lifetime. Disability is part of the human condition. Advocating for disability rights is advocating for your inevitable future.

[Han 🖤 @spoonfulofhan]

The way that society treats disabled people has always proven that productivity for capitalism is valued more than human life
