At LGA (LaGuardia Airport) And Sure It Sucks Being On Crutches In Such A Huge Airport (or Any Airport

At LGA (LaGuardia airport) and sure it sucks being on crutches in such a huge airport (or any airport really) BUT they let me go through the priority lane which was super nice.

Also saw some sunflower signs regarding invisible disability which was cool too

Y’all, what’s the benefit of getting a hEDS diagnosis? Every Doc I’ve seen has brought up that I probably have it but none will actually evaluate me for it (based on the criteria to my understanding I definitely fit it) and I keep getting told there’s no point in actually getting the diagnosis so they don’t want to do the evaluation. They’ve offered genetic testing which is nice but that shits expensive and I know technically necessary for the diagnosis but if they won’t even do the in office evaluation what’s the point of it (I mean unless I have one of the other types)

Can I claim it for myself? I understand if not since I’m not formally diagnosed but I’m just curious.

Had a group of teens laugh at and make fun of me for walking with my cane today. Wtf y’all wtf.

Is decency not a thing? Is kindness non existent? I am just a person and sure I use a mobility aid but goddamnit that doesn’t mean you cam/should laugh or make fun of me or any other disabled person for how they walk or behave and what not

Me after a shower where I don’t know if I even have the energy to get dressed.

I HATE cobbled streets with a passion OML my cane and crutches both struggle with them and keep slipping into cracks especially since it rained today
