Navigating the complexities of health insurance can feel overwhelming, but an independent pharmacy in Camden, NJ, can help guide you through it with ease. Specialty pharmacy services not only offer expert support in managing prescriptions but also help simplify the insurance approval process. Patients often struggle to understand which medications are covered, but working with a pharmacy that prioritizes personalized care can make all the difference.

Practical Thoughts About Chronic Illness Medication Costs

Too many of us are being impacted by chronic illness medication costs. This is my story. A few weeks ago after a covid infection, my asthma went from a periodic after a respiratory infection to a daily occurrence that was wearing me out, and interfered with exercise and my energy levels.  I was on a rescue inhaler and a high dose steroid inhaler that just wasn’t allowing me to be symptom free. …

Good Morning!!! We need solutions not excuses!!!

There are three main models of disability that are in common use. The moral model, the medical model, and the social model.

You may not have heard of the moral model before, but if you are disabled, you have felt the impact of it. The moral model is disability as a failure of character. It sources the problem of disability in the character of the disabled person. It's the people who insist that if you just tried harder, were better, had a better attitude, that you would no longer be disabled. It is a model that is used by ableists in order to conceptualize of disability as a failing of the individual. An extreme example of this mindset are the Christian Scientists, who believe that all illnesses and disabilities should be healed by the grace of their god and that if you are not healed, something is wrong with you. It is the the most cruel of the models, and the least successful at assisting disabled people.

The medical model is the model used by the medical establishment and by those who put their stock in medical authority. It sources the problem of disability in the body. It measures disability against a theoretical average person, and seeks to make disabled people match that average person more closely. This model works very well for disabled people with disabilities that can be measured, have a potential treatment plan, and want their disability gone. It does not work very well for people who do not match all three criteria. If they match the first and second but not the third, then strict adherents of the medical model often fall back on the moral model, stating that they are stupid, lazy, or selfish for not being interested in being cured. This also often happens if treatment fails to improve the condition of the disabled person.

The social model is a newer model, largely designed by disability activists and scholars and often defined in opposition to the medical model. It sources the problem of disability in the interaction between the disabled person and their physical and social environment. It argues that the solution of disability is to change the environment so that impairments are no longer an issue. This model works very well for disabled people who consider their disability not to be an issue when fully accommodated. It does not work well for people who consider their disability an inherent impairment and/or desire a cure. Strict adherents of the social model often fall back on the moral model when considering these people, stating that they are short-sighted or that they worship the medical model. These are the people who state things such as that depression would not exist in a world without capitalism.

When a disabled person fails to behave as expected by the model a person has of disability, the moral model is almost always the fallback position, because many people cannot conceive of why someone would disagree with them other than a lack of good character. This is a problem, because the moral model proposes no solution but to ignore or abuse the disabled person until they behave as expected.

Another notable interaction is that adherents of the medical model can often be persuaded to support the more traditional parts of the social model, such as providing large text resources to people with impaired vision, so long as there is empirical research backing it. However, they rarely support more radical arguments that challenge how we define disability and how society should be structured or restructured.

All three models have major failure points. The moral model fails every disabled person it is applied to. The medical and social models both fail different disabled people when adhered to strictly. The best approach at the moment seems to be hybridizing the social and medical models, so that they cover each other's weak points and fit the needs of the widest spectrum of disabled people. The main barrier to this is that they are often defined in opposition to each other.

AVA-M Early Bird: Regeneration Potions

To be clear:

TSC lied to Blue about their chronic pain issues by saying it’s only muscle pain, simply because they don’t want their friends to worry about them.

TSC said ow because they jerked their arm up too fast and it worsens the pain.

And I’m borrowing the idea of regeneration potions being a temporary solution for chronic pain from @tulipsempai.

In the second picture, Blue was explaining to TSC on how to make regeneration potions.

Bailey is not cringe !! he's actually one of my fav ocs of yours ,,

(I know nothing abt him. his lore. or the og source)

Ah thank you so much!!

I know I’m being completely irrational with how worried I am about Bailey in particular being “cringe”

Especially when he’s just like. A normal guy.

I don’t know! But I am trying to be more open with his story and what I share about him so here you go!!

Bailey’s had a particular plushie for as long as he can remember- and it’s very important to him. It was originally a gift from his parents! He doesn’t exactly remember what he got it for, whether it be birthday, christmas, or just a special treat? He has no idea

He just knows it means a lot to him

His memories before and of the accident he was in are incredibly fuzzy, and he only remembers bits and pieces, and he more-so remembers things as facts rather than an actual memory (like he knows the toy was a gift, he knows his right eye used to be brown, he knows his parents weren’t rich but they could live comfortably- etc)

He does remember though the staff at the hospital he was staying at after the fact dressing his plushie up in little bandages and plasters to make him feel better and less scared about the whole ordeal, he knows the plushie was a huge comfort for him at the time-!

one thing that bothers me is the constant advocacy for 'natural birth' that is plainly speaking, and in the case of the Portuguese healthcare system, just an excuse to cut corners and save money. Natural birth is much cheaper when compared to c-section, no matter how painful and tortuous for the woman, so it's convenient that there is also a slew of 'natural living' grifters advocating for it, along with the service of 'doulas' who are literally just some people with no medical qualifications and incapable of doing anything besides call emergency in case of a complication during birth.

to me it's extremely offensive that women are expected to give birth in conditions akin to those of cattle and to heap insult to injury this is somehow framed as 'good for them'.

Sometimes you spend the money you were saving for a new tattoo on handmade corsets because they were on sale and they are cheaper than a functional medical back brace but work about the same for you.

Sometimes you need to find ways to deal with your own medical issues because shit sucks and buying pretty corsets works for me.

And sometimes you get to walk up to your friend group welding your wizard staff (cane) and say "Whats up sluts, guess who just spent over 400$ on corsets"

I would be delighted if linguistic customs shifted to where I can say "I'm having a really rough time with my [lifelong degenerative] conditions" and people didn't jump in with

"have you been exercising?"

"what you need is vitamin _"

"I've got the perfect home remedy"

"just go for a walk"

or my personal hell "it's those medications you're on! You're on too many and that's why you feel bad".
