Being asked to rate your pain on a scale as someone who has had chronic pain for several years is so difficult. Like how am I supposed to rate the pain I am experiencing from 1-10 when I have no idea what it feels like to not be in pain. Like what is 0? what is 1?? what is even 10???? What am I comparing it to???? My 5 can be someone else's 10 and their 10 can be someone else's 2, and how is a doctor or anyone else for that matter supposed to tell the difference? Maybe it's because I'm autistic and I'm just overthinking it but it literally makes no sense to me.

I got the go ahead to buy forearm crutches but, I’m scared. I’m not scared of the cost or anything like that really.

I’m scared I’m going to like them.

That using them will make me happy and that it’ll be harder for me without them and people will judge me.

I don’t know, very mixed feelings right now. How am I even supposed to feel ?

*Me, using my hypermobility to bend my shoulder backwards in order to reach something in a way that obviously should not be possible yet it works so well and is incredibly convenient*

Logical side of my brain: hey you shouldn't do that, your shoulders are really gonna hurt later

My DNA which understands the evolutionary purpose: Okay, but this is whAT I WAS MADE FOR. Am I really. Am I really not supposed to do this like are you sure.

Me, paying the consequences 5 mins later: oo. Ouch. Ow. Oh, ow ow. Why. Why did I do that. Why does it. Hurt so bad. Why.

lady: why are you wearing knee braces?

me: I have joint problems

lady: you’re too young for joint problems

me: I have a joint disorder

lady: oh, I’m so sorry

me: …ok

Chronic illness is taking a shady ass elevator bc you can't take the stairs and just praying the cord doesn't snap

But then when you tell your friends about how scary the elevator was they treat you like your lazy or stupid for not just taking the stairs.

Like I'd risk my life for just laziness

has anyone else ever had an xray to see if you have arthritis or anything similar on your hands/feet or anywhere else on your body? i just got one today and i'm really nervous to get the results back (i don't have any idea of how long the wait will be either which certainly doesn't make it better).

i've had chronic joint pain for years which has gotten gradually worse over time, but recently i got these hard bony lumps on my finger joints which made me face my anxiety and go see a doctor for the first time in a while. he did look at my joints but not nearly as throughoutly enough because somehow he didn't even notice anything out of the ordinary, which is very strange since every single other person i've showed has clearly noticed it. some even thought it was broken, but everyone noticed there was something obviously wrong.

even though the doctor strangely didn't see anything wrong, he thankfully still sent a referral to get an xray done but he said that he didn't think they were going to find anything. so that's kind of what made me start to get so anxious about it in the first place (apart from me just being a very anxious person in general).

it would be nice if there was something that could help soothe my anxiety about it a bit but mostly im just curious to see if anyone else has had a similar experience and if so, how it went for you. so if you did and see this, i'd love to hear about it :)

Got a new (second) cane

An ergonomic-ish handle, I would call it

My initial cane is an offset one

I mainly got this new one because my offset-cane can only be folded once. I couldn’t find any offset canes in Germany which are foldable twice

I’m an ambulatory cane user and never know when my knees will be bad enough I need it, so I specifically got this new cane to easily keep it on/ in my everyday backpack

I struggled a good 40-50 minutes taking the original tip off the new cane and replacing it with the type of cane-tip I am used to from my beloved offset.

I worry my wrists might complain tomorrow because of the pulling/ gripping/ force needed to get the original tip off the new cane. I even had to heat it up using my hairdryer before it budged.

I might put reflective stickers into this cane as well, stars probably (the leopard stickers are the same type reflectors you can put in your bike’s spokes)

And I decided I will get some grip-tape (you know, tennis rackets) in a funky color :3

I also got star-shaped carabiners I’ll put on both, so I can clip them to my backpack more easily

real talk. my braces are mobility aids too. Like yes, my cane is a mobility aid. but I rely on my braces to walk and generally get around just as much as my cane.

I just use them in different circumstances. I can use my braces at work unlike my cane, and it leaves both hands free. My cane provides more general support and specifically supports my hips where my braces don’t.

both are good, both are mobility aids, and both are valid. all the love! 💜💜

My father: I just can't believe you're 19 already!!!

My autistic disabled ass: *tired, in pain, on a lot of loopy medication, annoyed and a little mad that he's called me without asking first even though I told him I was in pain and might not have the energy to call, tired of people saying that exact same thing every year on my birthday for my entire life* that is how time works. One year follows another

My father: well, yes, I just- I suppose you're right

Bonus:

My mom once I tell her what I said: *wheezing* this might be the proudest I've ever been as a mom
