When I rub my left eye it makes a squishing noise? And like feels like there's an air bubble in there?
I don't think that's normal lol.
Ahhh,
Thank you so much 😭
I'm $125/$900 already.
Literally made my week omg.
My mom joked about listening in on my therapy appt today and while I know it was a joke (bc my brother blew up about what he heard when listening in 2 weeks ago) I'm worried now. 🙃
I'm really struggling to pay bills & afford medical care & prescriptions right now until I find a remote job.
I'd appreciate some help, or if you could please RT it'd mean the world to me 💕

(I'm $900ish short for bills due between now and next 2 weeks)
Figured I'd mention how much but honestly anything to go towards my prescriptions and appointments and stuff helps. Thanks again.
my dream job & making a decent wage but during the lockdowns work stayed open with no remote work (for me at least). I had to cut my hours to 3-7hrs a week. I'm now searching for remote work since I can't do anything else but it's hard to find part-time remote work.
In the beginning of 2020 my primary took over my pain management and now my pain is a bit more manageable. My POTS came back with a vengeance so I've been dealing with that ever since. I'm pretty much housebound, leaving the house once a week at most. I was working
& after a series of tests my doctors assumed the concavity was the cause of my issues. It wasn't (it was POTS) but surgery was necessary anyway to get my sternum off my squished heart. After having an excruciating Nuss surgery, I was left with chronic pain from the metal in
I have other medical conditions too: Raynaud's, Hyperthyroidism (Grave's Disease), ADHD, OCD, & was just diagnosed w/ interstitial cystitis on Feb 24th (which is super severe rn). I'm working to get them all manageable but it's very expensive & hard to deal with when ill.
my chest. It wasn't my Drs fault; it was put in correctly, but my body didn't react to it well. I developed depression from the chest pain. The bar gets taken out after 3 years so around this November it should get removed! After surgery my POTS symptoms calmed down.
Introduction thread!
My name is Kelsey. I'm 24 & live in California. I'm mainly on Twitter for #NEISvoid, disability, mental health, Jewish & queer stuff. I developed POTS in 2018 after having recurring lung infections. Immediately after, found out I had severe Pectus Excavatum
Anyone have any recommendations for a super cheap heating pad that works well and the lowest setting isn't too hot?
I had one before it broke and even on the lowest setting it was way too hot for me.

Multiply disabled people exist. I’m one of them.
The disability community has a habit of making assumptions. It’s isolating.
A multiply disabled person is often more comfortable talking about one of their disabilities than all of them.
No one owes you a list of their diagnoses
"I don't see skin color, you can be red orange yellow green blue purple I don't care".
.
(Not my opinion!)
Getting dx with another chronic condition with no cure that vastly reduces my QoL really hit me hard. POTS is hard enough to deal with.
Why does everything have to be so severe for me?
