a flag for those whose scoliosis affects their respiratory function based on this scoliosis flag! the pink stripes represent the lungs and chest wall muscles and the blue stripe represents air/breath.

my scoliosis distorts the anatomy of my chest, which reduces my lung capacity and weakens my chest muscles. i've been struggling a lot with my breathing problems recently so here's my reward lol.

flag id: a flag with 9 stripes, with the fourth, fifth, and sixth being one-third the size of the rest. in order, they are faded green, soft teal, very light yellow, light red, very light blue, light red, very light yellow, soft teal, and faded green. end id.

banner id: a 1500x150 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting’ in large white text in the center. end id.

I wish people understood that when those of us with respiratory issues ask you not to vape/smoke around us, we're not being "prude little purity culture pushers". We are trying to avoid you triggering an episode that will affect our ability to BREATHE AT ALL for the next 48 hours.

Like sure, do whatever you want on your own time, but my severely compromised respiratory system genuinely can't take even a minute of second hand smoke. You are actively harming me

i dislike having a “gross” chronic illness.

this might just be me being up past an acceptable sleep time and therefore being upsetti, but i hate being a disabled person who’s not “clean”. i’ve got some lung fuckery that means my airways are almost always blocked by phlegm/air pockets, and i hack and snort and cough and make this gross “cuuur” sound when i clear my throat all the time. and that’s annoying enough, but honestly?

people look at me strange. they give me disgusted looks when i hack or cough (especially in the middle of dead silence). i’ve been asked to leave the room because i was too loud. had people move away from me on trains because they think i’m contagious. my (well-meaning) friends and strangers have laughed at my noises. had people complain about my phlegm-y tissues being gross, like i’m gonna wash my hands every time i breathe.

and no, it’s not the worst thing in the world, and i understand (i think it’s gross too!) but it also really fucking sucks.

*my chest has been tight all day

**wish I’d known before I drank 20 ounces of water in an hour

Coughing is a common occurrence that can stem from various underlying factors, ranging from respiratory infections to more serious health conditions. While it’s often associated with respiratory health, such as the common cold or flu, coughing can also be a symptom of issues related to reproductive health. In some cases, conditions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease can lead to a persistent cough as a secondary symptom. Understanding the root cause of a cough is crucial for effective treatment and management.

7 Household Cleaners That Can Make You Sick

Did You Know That Many Cleaning Supplies Can Cause Severe Health Issues?

You keep your house neat and clean not just to make it look nice but also to ensure you get rid of germs and keep your loved ones and yourself healthy.

Many conventional household cleaners contain toxic chemicals. They vary in severity and can cause immediate (acute) damage, such as skin irritation, respiratory issues, chemical burns, and watery eyes.

Even long-term (chronic) health issues like cancer, compromised immune systems, fertility problems, ADHD, and more can follow.

You might not know that you can do more damage than good if you use certain standard cleaning supplies.

Categories of Toxins in Cleaning Supplies

Carcinogens - cause or promote cancer.

Endocrine disruptors - our bodies perceive them as hormones. The consequences can be severe: infertility, premature puberty, miscarriage, menstrual issues, ADHD, and cancer.

Neurotoxins - affect brain activity and can cause headaches and memory loss.

Obviously, we don't ever swallow any household cleaners and keep them away from children!

Unfortunately, they can be hazards just by inhaling.

Avoid the Following 7 Cleaning Products

1. Air Fresheners:

Most Air Fresheners contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde irritates the skin, eyes, and throat. It's also known to cause cancer.

Their fragrances can trigger asthma and allergies, even if marked unscented.

2. Bleach:

Bleach is a strong corrosive substance that irritates or burns your skin. If inhaled, it can affect the respiratory system.

It's hazardous for people with asthma and other lung issues.

3. Ammonia:

Fumes produced by ammonia can irritate your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Again, people suffering from asthma, heart, or lung diseases are most susceptible.

Bleach and ammonia combined produce chloramine, a toxic gas, causing severe lung damage.

4. Sanitizers:

Disinfecting is on everybody's mind, at least since covid. That's understandable and, up to a certain level, helpful because we all want to protect ourselves and our families from infectious diseases.

If we take it too far, antibiotic and sanitizer-resistant germs and bugs can be the outcome.

Cleaning surfaces and washing hands are more efficient and not hazardous.

Using sanitizers should be the exception if cleaning is not an option or if you're a doctor or nurse.

5. Fabric Softeners and Dryer Sheets:

Using fabric softeners promise soft, fresh-smelling clothes free of static and wrinkles. Seems to be a no-brainer, right?

But they contain a powerful combination of chemicals that can harm your health, damage the environment, and pollute the air.

The chemicals in fabric softeners and dryer sheets can cause allergies, skin irritations, difficulty breathing, and reproductive harm.

6. Drain Cleaners, Oven Cleaners, and Toilet Bowl Cleaners:

These are the most potent and dangerous cleaners on the market.

Most contain lye (sodium hydroxide), hydrochloric acid, and other chemicals.

They can cause severe skin and eye damage.

7. Carpet or Upholstery Cleaners:

Carpet cleaners contain a chemical called naphthalene.

It's known to cause cataracts and liver damage.

1 More Thing You Need to Know About Common Cleaning Products

We all want our house to smell good and fresh.

Guess what? Companies producing household cleaners know that and add artificial fragrances to their products.

Why artificial? - Because they're cheaper and more intense.

The formulas used for those fragrances are trade secrets, and companies don't have to disclose them, even though one-third of the artificial fragrances used in standard cleaning products are toxic, according to "The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health."

Conclusion

If you want to be on the safe side, switch to non-toxic and plant-based household cleaners.

You might worry: "That's so expensive."

I can assure you that's not the case. You only need a small amount to keep your house and yourself clean and safe, and you most likely save money in the long run.

Last "Secret" I Want to Share With You:

Germs and mold love humidity. Stinky rags and sponges are full of germs.

I recommend microfibre rags, letting them dry after use, and washing them frequently.
