Fuck you tendinitis, fuck you plantar fasciitis, and especially fuck you ligament damage!!!

[permanently-sprained-ankle]

Sending love (platonic) to you. God I know how hard it is. PF sucks ass and I wish the world understood that. It’s drained my bank account and made me stop doing things I’ve loved.

Can we talk about how fucked it is when you have a chronic illness that’s seen as “minor” or just an annoyance by general society when it’s massively disabling to you?

My plantar fasciitis is seen by outsiders as like, an “old person” condition that should be a little annoying to me at worst.

But this fucking shit HURTS. Imagine feeling your own fascia pulling every time you walk? Like it has literally been so bad that I physically could not walk.

My point is, even if people see your disability as “minor”, that doesn’t take away from the fact that it could be disabling and severely limiting to you.

About me

Hi; I’m a mixed Native American (Ayamara Quechua) system with a bunch of neurodivergence. I’m also a cripple (physically disabled). I’m an adult, in my 20s. While specific alters in the system might identify differently, we broadly identify as a trans guy.

My other blogs are @the-angry-autist , @cripplepunk-archives , and @blitzo-supremacy.

I’m most active on instagram @//angry_autist.

More about me: angryautist.carrd.co

My disabilities/issues/etc

Diagnosed with:

Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder

Ligament damage from a bad injury (aka my handle)

Tendinitis

Plantar fasciitis (this is a BITCH)

Insulin resistance (probably diabetic but doctors are shit)

Autism (MSN) and ADHD (combined type)

PTSD, DID, ASPD

Long COVID

Suspected/getting tested for

Fibromyalgia

Dysautonomic disorders

ME/CFS (from long covid)

Fluoroquinolone toxicity

Dear God that’s so much shit. I didn’t even realize until I typed it out.

BYF/DNI etc

I don’t have a set “DNI”. If I don’t like you, I’ll block you. You are responsible for your own DNI. Minors- just follow content warnings por favor.

Before you follow or interact keep in mind I take no shit. If you’re rude I’ll be rude. If you’re bigoted I won’t react kindly.

More updates: can’t get the injections for my stupid ankle because the interaction with my pain management meds will make me bleed out…

Everyone wants to be a cripple until it comes time to actually deal with a body that hates you!

Health update for those who care:

Had a hypomanic episode because I forgot to pick up my antispsychotics

Which led to me overdoing physical activity and therefore a BAD pain flare up that I’m still going through

I have received confirmation via MRI and ultrasound that my ankle has in fact been sprained for six years. My other ankle has considerable damage as well.

Several doctors have mentioned EDS (hypermobile and Classical) to me based on the type of ligament and tendon damage I have

I need to get injections in my ankles and then surgery on the bad one. At least there’s a solution!

Anyways hi I’m back!

Doctor: “wow I can’t believe nobody’s sent you to get an MRI”

Actually, accessibility features shouldn’t be behind a paywall (I’m looking at you Spotify)

I hate when you see a specialist and then you do everything they suggested and yet it didn’t improve anything!!! Blegh.

[permanently-sprained-ankle]

this is APPARENTLY a HOT FUCKING TAKE but

i would rather someone live out the rest of their life dependent on or addicted to a pain medication that helps with their pain, than suffer in pain that could be helped for the rest of their life just so self-righteous dicks can say "thank god they're not an addict"

[permanently-sprained-ankle]

I follow you on Instagram and on here, and i see how your posts here are so easy to read and understand.

ARGH.

If this is a complement (I think it is), thanks!

I hope it’s pancreatic ❤️

Crip Tip: “Rate your pain on a scale from 1-10”

Give your doctor a frame of reference!!!

For example: I say, “when I broke my elbow, that was about a 5. Right now my foot pain is at an 8”.

I’d suggest choosing a common experience as your reference, like a broken bone or first degree burn. Or, if you have an experience known for high levels of pain (for example, spinal fusion or kidney stone), you can say “that is my level [x] pain, I am at a level [y]”.
