DOCTOR: There's no way you're heart rate goes up that high when you stand up

PoTS PATIENT: Bro, hold my pickle jar

[chronicforlyfe]

I know I've probably said this before but POTS is such a stupid illness bc WHAT DO YOU MEAN exercise makes me flare up but ALSO I'm supposed to exercise to feel better??? Hello???

This is bullshit

🇺🇸Reminder if you’re in America for July Fourth!!🇺🇸

If you have POTs or MCAS, and you choose to drink or smoke (or partake in anything) Please stay hydrated!

And no, not your average hydrated for club nights or trying to beat a hangover.

Like literally space out your drinks with electrolytes if you can, have salty food, and compression available, especially with the summer heat.

🥂TLDR; Some chronic illnesses react very negatively to alcohol and other substances, so if you can, stick with only one, and monitor those symptoms, you likely will feel it the next day.

Stay safe and be mindful of your body, and have some fun!

What do you mean hearing your joints crinkle and crackle anytime you move isn’t normal

i hate when my chronic illness that can make me twitch and shake ACTUALLY makes me twitch and shake

[chronicforlyfe]

Chronic illness(es) culture is genuinely questioning how able bodied people can go up and down stairs and walk several blocks without any pain or issues whatsoever

[chronicforlyfe]

I ain't wrong

[chronicforlyfe]

there's something so raw and soul crushing about spending your late childhood+teen years suicidal then growing up and actually wanting to live, after an ungodly effort, only to see your health deteriorate because of chronic illness.

Take a knife or two to complete any tasks you need to finish soon. Reblog to give your mutuals a knife for any group projects you may be working on

do able-bodied bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?

like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?

[chronicforlyfe]

There should be a "Rate my Professor" but for disabled people trying to get diagnosed and doctors. That way we can avoid medical gaslighting.

Shout out to the ten primate species, four bat species, elephant shrews, and the Cairo spiny mouse. Nobody else gets it

This is your reminder to clean your emotional support water bottle.

Check the o rings for mold.
