This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Woke up this morning and thought to myself: “I should make some bread” I don’t make bread, it’s not a thing I do Moral of the story, act on those random whims. You’ll be glad you did 🍞

One of my favourite things is when one of my cats is sleeping and I go to pet her, and she does that little activation noise and a little “oh what’s this?” And then you can see the realization that it’s me, so she goes back to sleep but now she’s *purring* cuz she’s happy I’m petting her 😻

If you've managed to remain safe from the LA fires but have lost power and are using a portable generator, remember to keep it outdoors and make sure your carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are working. 1 generator can produce as much CO as hundreds of cars and CO can kill in minutes.

Your experience is valid, and even though medical care was able to fix the issues it doesn’t diminish the suffering you endured! I’m sorry you needed surgery and have had that kind of traumatic pain. I hope it’s all in the past now!

That sounds like such an exhausting and crushing thing to have to deal with on a regular basis. I’m so sorry you have to struggle with that, and thank you for sharing. Let me guess, people suggest all kinds of fad diets or to “just eat clean” and think you’ll be fine?

If anybody else feels comfortable sharing their story, please do. I’d like to learn more about the people around me, and I’m here to listen. We can all get through this horrible messed up thing called life, together. 😻

My intention of posting this isn’t to garner pity or sympathy. It’s just to give a better idea that even the people you interact with regularly, that you play games with, that you grew up with…some of them might be dealing with all this and you have no idea.

I’m also a perfectionist who sets ridiculously high standards for myself but that’s a whooole other can of worms to unpack. Let’s just say it really doesn’t help the situation!

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
My job carries with it a lot of responsibility and I always feel this intense guilt whenever my pain prevents me from doing my job, or prevents me from doing it as well as I know I can. I also have to interact with lots of people every day and sometimes I just. don’t. wanna 😾

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
On bad days my brain is mud and I legitimately can’t process things. But I also don’t have the energy to explain *why* to everyone so I just plaster on a grin and pretend while everything hurts.

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
Then there’s how it affects my personality. Everyone knows me as a happy and cheerful person so sometimes that has to be a mask because I’m in so much pain I can’t even breathe. Pretending to be happy and joyful through pain is exhausting.

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
Sometimes I really do just need to let it get me down and I hate that. I hate it so much.
150 5
Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
That leads to *worse* pain down the line, and I do it to myself every time. There’s some weird psychological “I won’t let it get me down!” type of rebellious nature within me that is just a clear disconnect with what is actually happening in my body.

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
I have an intensely screwed up relationship with my pain. I hate that it prevents me from being productive, or doing the things I want, so I’ll often do them anyways and just suffer. I’ll push myself through it and not be honest to myself or the people around me about just how bad it is.
140 4
Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
Although more often than not the pain will affect me by preventing me from sleeping, which for those of you who know me, is real bad news (I don’t sleep well or enough on good days). This part really just makes everything else worse.

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
I can play sports again (to an extent), and I can function independently. I still have flare ups and bad days, especially around medicine time (3 week cycle), and sometimes they come out of nowhere which is very frustrating. I’ll just wake up in pain and think to myself “well shit, we go again.”

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
I’m happy to report that after diagnosis I was able to start treatment and that has been remarkable. It’s an incurable disease so I will suffer with this my entire life, but the medication does help a lot. I’m still essentially *always* in some amount of pain, but it’s a more manageable level.

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
My symptoms had started years prior and at its worst, when we finally figured out what it was, I was borderline invalid. I needed help using the washroom, getting dressed, going up and down stairs. My back would spasm uncontrollably and every movement was a living hell.

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
The symptoms are inflammatory arthritis in my spine, my SI joints, hips, and more. It also causes immense fatigue. Not “oh I’m a bit eepy”… medical-grade levels of fatigue. My diagnosis came as I was finishing law school, and it took a very long time from onset of symptoms.

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, which is an auto-immune disease where my immune system is attacking my body by trying to fuse my vertebrae together. Google image search the disease and you’ll see the late stage progression. The spine becomes one big piece of bone. Think…Quasimodo…

Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
There’s lots of people who struggle with invisible chronic pain and we’re often made to feel guilty about it. So to everyone out there, you’re not alone, and I encourage others to tell their story as well.
150 5
Hulahoops @hulahoops.bsky.social · 10/12/2024
I often refer to bad pain days or flareups on social media, but in light of the discourse around chronic back pain going on I felt maybe I should be more open about it. So here’s my story, if you care to read. Caveat: I have received excellent healthcare as 🇨🇦 so this isn’t a thread about that.
