I Feel Like Some People Dont Realize What It Means To Have Pain In ALL Your Joints

I feel like some people don’t realize what it means to have pain in ALL your joints

like yes, my legs hurt and mobility aids (cane and forearm crutches in my case) help with that. But my arms also hurt, and therefore sometimes I cannot use the mobility aids that help with my legs because they put more pressure on my arm joints. Everyday I have to make the choice of what joints take priority, if my legs hurt more I’ll use my mobility aids, if my arms hurt more then I won’t use them. But even on days I do use my mobility aids, my arms STILL hurt. And on days I don’t use my mobility aids my legs STILL hurt.

Okay so I love a good hot tub moment. It feels nice, it relaxes my muscles, my joints like it, etc. Now why the fuck does my body have to go and decide that the heat means that I’m running a fucking marathon or something and make my heart rate fucking sky rocket??? But that’s not even the worst part of it. When I get out, ya know out of the heat, my heart rate goes even fucking higher because I had to stand up to get out. Moral of the story fuck POTs

way too many disabilities still exist in the public consciousness as “childhood illnesses”, and that majorly contributes to the infantilisation we’re subjected to

walkable cities also means sittable cities send tweet

Just realized something and I think some of you need to realize it too

Being in *any* unprompted pain means there's something wrong

you don't need to be in agonizing pain to get help, the human body isn't supposed to be in any pain
