Chronic Illness
- Tips for chronic pain
I have recently discovered that I am hypermobile but social anxiety and the pain prevent me from going to a doctor (also I don't trust them and they scare me) Do you have any tips on living with chronic pain? Anything from over-the-counter drugs and physical aids to tips for everyday tasks I know I'll have to talk to a doctor someday but in the meantime I'd like to be able to survive lol
- Russian "information war" campaign on the US, trying to convince voters that disabled people have too many privilidges

If you’ve been noticing more and more ableist content online like I have, this could explain it.

> The struggle is real
- After 4 years, I finally got approved for SSDI. $1,100/month and an additional $81/month for my 13 y/o child.
How the hell am I supposed to live? This isn't even enough to cover rent in my area. I have a move-out date of August 31st and I have no clue what we're going to do.
- are all the posts deleted?
sorry I made this post when I was tired af, i had hide read posts activated 😭😭😭
- Third (!!) primary doctor in a row left their position.
I don’t blame them at all, their working conditions are untenable and I wouldn’t want to work for Local Healthcare Monopoly either. But it feels like if you can even find any doctor at all in my area (and many people can’t) it’s just temporary and always in question. I really liked this person, too. They said they are going to reassign me to someone else when they can, but they don’t know when or who. I feel so stressed. It’s almost comical how much things have fallen apart in the past several years.
- Functional neurological disorder is not an appropriate diagnosis for people with long Covidwww.statnews.com Functional neurological disorder is not an appropriate diagnosis for people with long Covid
With long Covid continuing to be a leading cause of disability, physicians, researchers, and policymakers should follow the science — and the science does not point to functional neurological disorder as a driving factor.

No I won't, but thanks
- New Community, If you want to be added as mod, please ask
Hiya, since most illnesses have too few people who use lemmy to have a nice community, I created this community for everyone with a chronic illness.
If you want to be added as mod, please just ask!
