I know you’re tired. I know sometimes it feels like you’re going backwards. I know it’s exhausting.

It’s okay if you need to rest. It’s okay if you need to take a break from your healing journey. It’s okay to just stop for a bit.

Just please don’t give up. You’re going to get through this.

Heyyyy

So, if you've had Covid (or suspected you did, even if you never tested +), next time you get blood drawn for something, ask to have your immunities run. I had mine checked last fall and while I was still fine with measles and rubella, but had zero immunity to mumps. This is a moderately easy fix (I got a second round of the MMR series and tested fine this spring) but with how infectious diseases are making a comeback, keep an eye out, y'all.

Covid resets shit. Keep yourselves safe.

I really don't care if accessibility helps abled people. You should care about us even when there is no direct benefit to you personably.

“Friendly reminder that chronic and invisible illnesses are not magically cured by exercise, changing your diet, “clean living” or suddenly becoming vegetarian or vegan.

Believe it or not, but some disabled people cannot afford to overhaul their diet and swap to completely organic, vegan foods. Some disabled people are in too much pain or too exhausted to exercise. What may work for you may not work for others.

Chronic illnesses are lifelong. And in many cases, terminal. They cannot be cured, they can only be suppressed. So don’t berate and dictate to disabled and chronically ill people about how they should go about "curing" themselves.”
