arthritis haver flags
flags specifically/exclusively for folks with these conditions, general arthritis flag found on an older post
made because i recently found out not only does it run in the family (both osteo and rheumatoid) but i am highly suspected to have it myself.
transx/transid stay the fuck off my posts. not for you
Osteoarthritis/OA + Rheumatoid/RA
Osteoarthritis(left) <- a flag for those with osteoarthritis, a form of arthritis where the cartilage in joints begins to break down causing mobility issues, pain and so on.
Rheumatoid(right) <- a flag for those with Rheumatoid Arthritis, a form of arthritis where the body's immune system attacks healthy cells in the joints causing pain, inflammation, mobility issues and so on.
Psoriatic/PsA + Fibromyalgia
Psoriatic(left) <- a flag for those with psoriatic arthritis, a form of arthritis where the skin develops rashes. this effects the skin and nails, causing large red rashes and pitted nails.
Fibromyalgia(right) <- a flag for those with fibromyalgia, where the body has pain, soreness and tiredness all throughout, causing sleep issues and heightened sensitivity.
Gout
a flag for those with gout, when urate builds up as needle-shaped crystals in the joints, leading to swelling, pain and more.
[id: a green to white gradient box with a gif of candles and witchcraft tools on a shelf in the background and dark green text on top of the image reading "dni if transx/transid, radqueer, terf. more in pinned post. free to use/identify so long as you respect my boundaries. exclusive terms/flags are non-debatable". :end id]

my rheumatologist had me stop ibuprofen completely, after eating it daily for over a decade to survive. instead, she put me on sulindac. no nsaids allowed while taking it, so until it kicks in, no pain relief. at all.
obviously this killed me deader than dog doo, but iāve been crawling out of my grave for two weeks. and, my god, it kind ofā¦works?
i just vacuumed and no one breathing down my neck for inspections. and then cleaned out the vacuum. i became the vacuum cleaner. put up pictures for the first time since 2012. fixed stuff.
my everything still hurts but the howling void of just constant misery has dimmed down to like, a single annoying neighbor telling me how to do something (wrong) while i do it.
also my acid reflux that had me choking on barf at night has disappeared completely. if this keeps up i might get to quit a med for a change.

Hidden disabilities or invisible disabilities is a term to refer to disabilities that are not visible or obvious. Some common hidden disabilities are Autism, ADHD and dyslexia, as well as physical disabilities like IBS, EDS, RA, POTS or Celiacs.
Hereās the thing.
I feel like āhidden disabilitiesā puts the onus on the disabled individual as if we are hiding our disabilities. I feel like the term āhidden disabilitiesā generalises certain disabilities.
There are plenty of people who are visibly Autistic or visibly ADHD ā thereās nothing hidden about us and for those who are perhaps less visible, itās because theyāve been taught to mask for safety and survival.
As someone with EDS, IBS and Rheumatoid Arthritis, even these are considered hidden disabilities but they really arenāt hidden or invisible.
Iām sure people notice when Iām escaping to the bathroom for the tenth time or Iām trying to get my shoulder back in after it slipped out of the place again. Iām sure people notice when I say no to particular foods when Iām invited to dinner and Iām sure people notice when I have to stay home for five days after a big weekend out. Iāve no doubt people notice when Iām wincing with every step and bend. They simply donāt associate these things with disability because my disability doesnāt look a certain way.
I use mobility aids on occasion and Iāve been offered priority lanes, Iāve been offered a seat while I wait, Iāve been seen as a disabled person. While this has its disadvantages when it comes to discrimination and more, there are also some upsides like having my disability acknowledged. When I donāt use my mobility aids, Iām taken less seriously as a disabled person ā people make assumptions about me and overlook my needs. I think this shows that many people have this idea of what a disability looks like so when they donāt see their idea of a disabled person, they make assumptions.
It isnāt because our disabilities are hidden or invisible.
It isnāt even because people arenāt paying attention because they are.
If people werenāt paying attention, they wouldnāt tease or bully us, they wouldnāt question us or tell us to act more normal or to get over it or to stim less or to pay attention.
If people werenāt paying attention, they wouldnāt point out our differences or point out when weāre running late or why weāre limping or why weāre leaving early or why weāre saying no.
Oh yes, people are paying attention but most of the time, they associate these things with personal failings or flaws rather than a part of our disability.
Our disabilities are not hidden or invisible.
Our disabilities are misunderstood, denied and ignored by society.
I feel like instead of using hidden disabilities to create more visibility and awareness, we should be educating society on what it means to be disabled and challenging peopleās assumptions around disabilities.
Are our disabilities hidden or are people ignoring our needs and challenges?
Are our disabilities hidden or are people making assumptions based on what they observe?
Are our disabilities hidden or do people have a lack of understanding of disabilities?
Our disabilities arenāt hiding.
Our disabilities are quite visible to us.
Our disabilities are quite visible to the people around us if they just listen to us.

Biologic Hangover
This is a question I get in my support groups a lot!
Why do I feel so tired after taking my biologic?
A very fair question. We call it the "Humira Hangover" (even if you aren't using Humira, the alliteration is important)
It can be different for everyone, but typically, when starting out with a new biologic treatment (Humira, Enbrel, Cosentyx, etc.) you will feel a bit tired to freaking exhausted a day or two after.
Usually this will only last the first few months after starting. Maybe longer or shorter, but it seems to happen to everyone.
For me, I'm exhausted the day of injection, so I try to do my shot at night so it will help me sleep.
Again, it is not an exact science, but, yes, for those who are wondering.. it is a totally normal part of being a biologic user.

Iām so strung out.
Iām sick as hell. I feel like my body is giving up. Just shutting completely down. Mentally Iām starting to follow.
Iāve been staying really strong but today I just cracked. All the emotion and stress and sadness Iāve been holding in just came out and I lost it.
I feel like everybody is moving away from me. I isolated for about a week because I was so sick and in so much pain, and now I feel like I might as well just stay isolated because nobody really cared anyway so why burden them theyāre probably relieved not to hear from me anyway. Itās just like whatās the point. Iām rotting away. nobody wants to be a part of that.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Its exact cause is unknown, but genetics and environmental factors play roles. Symptoms include joint swelling, tenderness, and deformity. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical examination, blood tests, and imaging scans. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing RA effectively.
