Hello all! All I have to say for now is that the megas must flow 
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
CW: digestive issues, surgery, female reproductive crap, ER (Emergency Room)/hospital
I kinda feel like death lately. I had abdominal surgery to help with my digestive issues and weeks later into recovery, I now have an infection in my intenstines. The pain was so bad I thought there was something wrong with my ovaries or uterus (that’s where my most painful pain comes from, but turns out they are mostly fine but inflamed as well for some reason). Since I’ve had chronic pain for most of my life, it was so hard to wait in a chair in the ER when it is too painful to sit and then much later on standing at the pharmacy for my meds when my legs were never able to stand for too long before all of this. I hate going to the ER so goddamn much and the pharmacy really should have chairs at least. The antibiotic I’m on is causing so much digestive issues (which I was warned about at least), I feel nasueous a lot and easily bloated by small amounts of food. I’ll spare you the details about my diarrhea. My stomach is constantly rumbly even as I type this. I am not going to die from this but I feel terrible.
CW: weight management, body issues
On a side note, I’m no longer overweight. I have been told by doctors before (that I have since ditched since they sucked at listening) that my chronic pain is caused by my weight. Yeah major [X] on that. My pain started when I was at a healthy weight and fairly active as a teen, and the pain contributed to me putting weight on and becoming inactive as an adult. Now, I’m technically not overweight but still want a few more lbs off since I’m not happy with my stomach yet. My pain has not really changed, not that I can notice at least. I’m still somewhat immobile and can’t use stairs.
