Fibromyalgia Awearness Day *RANT WARNING*
9 years ago
LETS DO THIS!!! (WARNING INCOMING RANT)
Fibromyalgia is a pretty un-heard of illness still because it classes as and "invisible disability" so therefore many people day to day don't realize that someone is actually suffering this disease! I got diagnosed near the tail end of November last year but i was suffering long before i knew what it was.
During high school i had to take so much time off for my "gastritis" which means i have too much acid in my stomach i never knew then that all the hypersensitive feeling and sensory things i was getting WAS part of Fibromyalgia.
It kicked in worse 2 years ago when i had a fall down the stairs and landed on my back on the edge of the step which hit me directly on my spine and the base of my skull, the doctors say that this may have made my Fibro start or just get much worse.
My life has changed so much, i can barely get out of bed some days and just doing simple things is like climbing a mountain, mixed with chronic fatigue brushing my hair have to sit down and rest half way though, bush my teeth same thing, showers if i don't have something to sit on id collapse and end up on the floor, its a pretty dangerous disease yet its getting more common for younger people to get diagnosed with it, people argue that its only an "old persons disease", i hate this saying.
Chronic Pain/Illnesses and general pain DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE YOUNG OR OLD, sometimes you are supposed to have these things to advocate for them and make more people aware that these types of things CAN happen to that healthy young popular girl from the house down the street, it CAN happen to the guy who stays in his room and games all the time through all the pain, it CAN happen to that poor elderly person sitting at the rest home all alone in so much pain they freeze.
SO PLEASE be mindful of people who have chronic illnesses and invisible diseases we try our best to hide the fact we are sick but there are times we do need some assistance so don't judge the young girl who parks in a disabled park and walks into the store looking like shes normal but is on her worst day from pain ever and don't judge her for using wheelchairs or canes "because she looks too young and healthy to need them"
Also be mindful if you take up a disabled park there is usually someone who comes while you are still parked there who needs it more desperately than you do (ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A CARD)
(RANT TIME)
I AM SOO GOD DAMNED PISSED OFF AT THESE ASSHOLES THAT THINK THEY KNOW WHATS BEST FOR ME!
i have had SOOO many people come up to me today and bitch to me about using the in store wheelchairs and the disabled car park!
One idiot woman saw me get out of my moms car and saw me walk in to the shop where i walked over to get a self push wheelchair, i got in and went on my merry way, BUT THIS FUCKER about half way through my very enjoyable shop WALKED UP TO ME AND SAID "OH honey i saw you walk in and i saw you park in the disabled spot, i must tell you that you are FAR too young and pretty to be disabled so i believe there is nothing wrong with you, i cant see anything that is wrong with you? so why do you need the wheelchair? WHICH some poor elderly lady could be using right now!" I WAS SO FUCKING ASTOUNDED this lady could say so many hurtful things to me!
YES i can still walk, YES I do need aid on my worse days, YES i know i look completely normal
BUT DON'T YOU DARE THINK THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME, YOU ARE NOT MY DOCTOR and ID like to KEEP it that way, i don't need to justify my medical needs for your incompetence !
AND THIS FUCKING LADY WITH HER TINY FUCKING KID at they psychology clinic, BLATANTLY parked in the DISABLED PARK with NO CARD JUST "because its easy for me to get my kid out and come in this way" my psychologist and her psychologist where BOTH out there and mine almost went off her NUT at this lady (my Psychologist knows i have a card and can legally use that ONLY space) its only that this fucking place was FULL TO THE BRIM with cars that didn't need to be there, when i got close to the park (which has a ramp close by) my psychologist saw me and said "oh well don't bother moving now shes already here" which i didn't mind walking a little bit more i just used more spoons than i needed, BUT THIS FUCKING LADY SAW ME and said "GOOD because i wasn't going to move anyway!"
OOOOH THAT FUCKING MADE MY BLOOD BOIL I COULD HAVE EASILY JUST BLOCKED HER AND YELLED AT HER AND TOLD HER ITS ILLEGAL FOR HER TO PARK THERE JUST FOR HER CONVENIENCE WHEN I WAS THERE AND I NEEDED IT AND BY LAW I AM ENTITLED TO THAT SPOT AND SHE STRAIGHT UP ATTITUDE!!! OOOOH!!!
but then i would have wasted my time in educating this nit brain teen mom about the laws that could get her thrown in jail. i digress
Sorry for the rant i just had a lot of this in the last few days and im so pissed off.
if you have made it THIS far id like to congratulate you and give you this cookie *holds a gigantic cookie for the reader*
SO i will be uploading more art soon so look foward to that !
BYE

Ohhhh, people like that who THINK they know what's good for you by basing their opinion on your appearance? Ya. if that were me, I would have said somethin' along the lines of "Why hasn't somebody sensible SHOT you yet?"
