Unfortunately I don’t have the energy to put together some info for the mega this week, hopefully I can pull together something for next week though. As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

i succeeded! i got my prescription. i got to the pharmacy and found my prescription had run out, but its a small town and you can usually get medical stuff sorted out the same day so i went to the doctor’s surgery and the reception person promised to get it sorted before the pharmacy shut. and it turned out it worked in my favour because i went to run errands and went back and i got to the pharmacy just before it closed and it turned out the doctor had also renewed my sleeping pills that i didn’t ask for
it’s already helping my neck. not enough, i might take more in a bit. but i’m so glad. particularly since we’re expecting another bad storm and won’t be able to drive into town for several days. hopefully i’ll be able to do some storm prep after resting.
Ablebodied peoples idea of what ableism is is so performative and out of touch
Like they’ll tone police but won’t wear a fucking mask
Nerve pain is fucking bullshit FOOT Y U NO STAY FINE?
i have to go out today. i’ve had horrible neck pain for days but there is medication at the end of the drive if i can manage it that will help. and gotta get food n stuff too. but it’s so frustrating. life is constantly like need x to do y, need to do y in order to acquire x
