#chronically suffering

[spookysalem13]

Right now I'm mad, I'm frustrated & I'm hurt. I was told by everyone I saw that Primary Care was where I would be able to get temporary help while I wait to get into the pain clinic. Legally my rheumatologist cannot help me with my pain in the manner in her professional opinion I be treated.

I was seen in the Emergency Room, they were able to help me for a six hour period but legally they aren't allowed to send me home with anything. Primary Care legally has the ability to provide me with the temporary treatment I need during the waiting process so idk I can literally get out of bed without crying!

My rheumatologist was kind enough to send my Primary Care my whole file, to send her the notes from our last recent visit and to give her professional recommendation that I be put on something for my pain.

I was seen in the ER, the doctor there also referred me to my Primary Care for temporary treatment during the wait. The doctor there said she'd be able to help me while I wait. I needed to contact her immediately to be put on proper treatment so I'd no longer have to suffer.

Only an hour before my appointment with my Primary Care I get a call from her office, saying due to personal beliefs and personal discomfort she has she won't be providing me the medical treatment I've been directed to her for by multiple professionals. And that she found my doctors efforts to help me by referring me to her as inappropriate!

So easy to say I got my hopes up my suffering would end today. Only to be called an hour prior to be told that my doctor is denying me the care that she was directed to provide for me.

This may happen a lot with doctors and patients in this country when it comes to pain medication. But here's the honest truth, it isn't legal! It's also unethical, inhumane and incredibly harmful to allow a patient to continue to suffer when you have the ability to provide the care they need legally with all the documentation, recommendations and necessary information needed to provide the care required. There are ZERO laws tying her hands to help me. And it's 100% patient neglect.

This may happen but I won't tolerate it. Sometimes doctors need to be reminded of the laws in the field in which they work. If a doctor is going to refuse care based off of personal beliefs and discomfort than they shouldn't be a doctor in the first place. As a doctor you do not get to pick and choose who walks through your door needing your help and get to decide if you want to treat them or not. That's not how it works. So either do your job or find a new career field because you're obviously an unfit care provider.

I of course filed a complaint with the Washington Medical Commission immediately, because I'm sick and tired of doctors not doing their jobs! What she did was illegal and I am taking necessary action that she be evaluated for what she's done. And necessary actions be taken. Because once again her actions were illegal.

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

Friendly reminder that if you support reproductive rights and bodily autonomy but say that disabled people shouldn't have children because they'll pass down their genes which is "cruel" or "abusive", you do not support reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. Reproductive rights do not only concern abortion for cis white abled women.

Oh my god I can’t believe I have to say this but:

DISABLED PEOPLE CAN HAVE GOOD DAYS!!

Just because I had one day when the pain wasn’t there for long enough for me to enjoy it doesn’t mean I am suddenly “cured from my issue” or that I don’t need accommodations anymore.

I don't think a lot of people realize that lot of their advice to disabled people often boils down to "Get over it." they are trying to be helpful but their idea of helpful is "Just do the thing" because that's what they do. for them they just do things. It comes naturally to just do it.

They don't know how to bridge the gap between you and the task. For them the bridge is already pre-built and stable. For disabled people the bridge is run down, not well kept, it feels unsteady and is hard to get across without being slow and cautious - hell for some people there is no bridge and we need to build it ourselves but we don't have the bridge building tools and no one gives them to us.

"Just cross the bridge." They say before walking over their pre-built bridge. They never gave you the tools to build a bridge to cross.

You were not made just to suffer. You are more. You are so much more than your hardest moments. 💜

My illness has no cure. It probably won’t have for the duration of my life. It won’t “get better” because the scientific community is still trying to understand it and there is not enough academic research on it, unfortunately. Many doctors haven’t heard of it, and they don’t always know how to help, how to treat it. Everything is always very experimental and there isn’t a single solution for the symptoms of my illness since every person suffering from it has very different experiences.

Yes, there is no cure, and they won’t probably find one soon. But there is something else that can be solved, there is a resolution to be found: it’s acceptance by society. Accommodation. That often involves people having to be educated, because often the worst judgments come from a place of ignorance. But I believe society can know better. I believe in advocating for the rights of disabled people. The quality of life of a disabled person like me can greatly improve when others understand that my body might work differently than theirs, that my limitations don’t always allow me to be the most productive all the time, that I am dealing with chronic pain, and chronic health problems, but I am still a person, just as anyone else.

As social creatures, we need each other. And it’s okay that different people have different needs. And needing more or less support should not define your worth or how integrated you should be into society.

Imagine a world where Obi-Wan survives episode IV and has to deal with another generation of disaster romances with the Skywalker family.

Leia: *falls head over heels with a dashingly handsome and very mouthy rogue who has more red flags than green*

Obi-Wan: “Oh no.”

Luke: *flirts with a stubborn yet extremely caring world leader despite the Jedi’s no-attachment rule*

Obi-Wan: “Not again.”

Hey, you! Try that mobility aid you've been thinking about. If it helps you, then you need it. Easy as that! Most people start using mobility aids on their own, without a doctor recommendation. And that's perfectly normal and okay! If you're worried about using it correctly, there are many guides to get you started. I know it can be scary. But mobility aids can open up your world in so many ways. If it helps, then you need it!
