But the way we perceive health and ability is truly problematic. No, eating protein shakes, avoiding ultra processed food, training everyday, running on the treadmill, etc. don’t put you out of the “dangers” of disability and illness (if we want to call it that).

No one is immune to illness, bad genes, accidents or old age. And becoming disabled or ill isn’t synonym of failure or “bad behaviours”.

Our bodies are fragile. Human beings are fragile. That’s why disability needs to be taken into account more seriously and considered as a social issue. For you, your loved ones and all the people you don’t know of but who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect no matter the state of their health and abilities.

I didn’t get sick at one year of age because I deserved it or because I was morally corrupt. How could I be? I was 1. It just happened. It was an autoimmune disease. That’s it.

As it turns out, PSTD nightmares to start the day are NOT a good sign.

Rating random fidget/stim toys out of 10

- tangles 5/10 - they’re fun but when they come apart I can never get them back together

- wacky tracks 10/10 - everything I love about tangles but without the things I hate

- large pop-its 7/10 - it depends on the shape tbh

- small pop-its 8.5/10 - they’re not my preferred fidget toy but I still really like them!! Especially the ones that only have 1 or 2 bubbles on them

- mochi animal thingies 7/10 - they’re very fun to play with and very easy to travel with but they make your hands smell weird and I don’t enjoy that.

- plastic rainbow wiggly slugs 8/10 - they’re kinda big which makes them harder to travel with but otherwise I have no notes.

- foam stress balls 5.5/10 - they’re always either fantastic or hard as a rock with no in between

- filled stress balls 2/10 - I have a love/hate relationship with these because they’re so fun to play with but they nearly always end up exploding.

- literally anything made out of that sticky rubber material 0/10 - I have no explanation I just hate these

- floam 10/10 - I am the number one floam fan

- play dough 7.5/10 - I like playing with it but I wish it didn’t smell as strong

- kinetic sand 5.5/10 - I have love/hate relationship with it and I can’t explain why

- bubble rap 7.5/10 - the og stim toy. But also it’s so loud and I don’t love that.

This was not nearly as helpful or well thought out as my usual posts but I hope you were at least entertained by it <3

Let me know your favourite stim toys in the comments !!!

"You're just looking for attention!"

Says the attention seeker who's butting onto posts that are clearly not for them.

[woodlandwitchling]

When you become chronically ill you watch people get uncomfortable around you.

Slowly.

Painfully.

Eventually the care people put on as a facade erodes the more your disability becomes less invisible.

The more vocal you get about what you’re going through, the more you are unable to hide the pain on your face or in your movements..the less support you will have.

You are left with figuring out ways to express yourself that doesn’t upset others.. when that fails you are left with making the choice to not speak and to let your relationships die.

Keeping it all inside, the feeling of drowning..

How do you breathe through all of that? How do you survive?

Look, I get it, disability support is not as trendy as being an LGBTQ+ supporter or against racism, we might not have all that cool music and colourful parade floats, our flag has a lot of black. It’s not fashionable. No business puts the disabled flag in their logos on July.

Some of us make non-disabled people uncomfortable (to their own admission) because of how we exist in this world. Some of us slouch and drool, some of us have tics and spasms, some of us are missing limbs or parts of our faces. We might have bulky mobility aids and big and noisy equipment, some of us can’t avoid to attract attention, some of us are shaped in a “weird” way. We might walk and move too slowly or take a lot of time to express ourselves, to form thoughts and words. Some of us don’t speak. Many of us can’t fit in, can’t hide our disabilities and the way we look.

No, it’s not trendy or fashionable. I get it.

But the problem is that society has decided that there is only one standard to exist, to look, to be. The rest is abnormal, wrong, sick, broken…

It’s the mindset that needs to change. We should open up to all the different possibilities we could encounter, to the idea that what we are used to see is not necessarily the only right thing. Because there is no a “right” way to exist, to go through this World, to live, to look, to be. The more we open up to all of this, the more liberating it will feel. And it will be easier to accept the possibility of a future disability that might happen, to us and the people we love.

It’s not enough to just say “yes, disabled people deserve rights”. There should be an active step forward. Be uncomfortable. Get used to the idea of being around people who are not the “standard”. Be uncomfortable with the idea of a body and a mind that don’t work like you are used to.

Hey, can I ask you a thyroid question? Is the ratio of FT3 to FT4 important or not? I keep running into conflicting info. If the ratio is high (but FT4 and FT3 themselves are normal), does that indicate hyperthyroidism (in the sense that T4 to T3 conversion is too fast) or not? If so, combined with low TSH, (low but still normal), is that reason to test for TRAb? My mom had Graves Disease (and has Hashimoto now). I'm losing weight very slightly when I only ever gained before. Pituitary being stepped on by a benign brain tumour. Endocrinologist appointment in March (and that's because the GPdecided it was "urgent"). Anti-TPO very slightly elevated. I had small lumps on last ultrasound. Not panicking or anything, but is that a form of hyperthyroidism or not? Should I insist on TRAb (I can't afford to do the test with my own money), or not?

Hi!! Apologies for not answering this right away, I needed some time to think about it!!

I really appreciate that you are asking me, however I do not think I am qualified to answer any of your questions :( My knowledge of hyperthyroidism is very limited, and I only really know surface-level stuff. Any further details are for my own personal health maintenance and I'm not sure if they're broadly applicable. On top of that, my memory isn't very good, so any info I share might not be accurate anyways, which is not ideal for topics like this.

I'm really sorry you're going through all that!! I hope you are able to get answers soon!! I will post this in hopes that someone can help you more than I am able to. Wishing you the best 💕💕💕

So a quick note from the editor of Rare Dye...

Having a chronic illness is an unexpected and winding road of a journey. New symptoms seem to pop up all the time, with no explanation and no immediate relief. For the past three months, I've been dealing with symptoms that came out of nowhere. I'm just now finally getting back on track. Whew! This means hopefully an uptick in posting and commentary.

Ok, back to our regularly scheduled program with pretty pictures and stuff. Just wanted to leave space for anyone dealing with chronic illness and or disability. Letting you know that you are seen and believed and a part of Rare Dye is having your needs and concerns in mind. 💕

Yet another spoonie blogger who worked to spread awareness and share her reality with one of my dx’s passed away. So don’t ever say things like “well at least you’re not terminal!” M.E., fibro, endo, all these diseases still have a body count. RIP Sammy.
