cane users don't have to use their cane for every single step in order to be valid in their need for a cane. cane users can suddenly stop using their cane while moving around and not invalidate their need for it next time they use it. some cane users may only use their canes during flare ups. some only need their cane every few steps for short bursts. everyone's needs are different.

every cane user deserves respect.

I got a spare and came third.

This was also our second game and I really fucked up my joint.

Casually daydreaming about the mobility aids I think would help me, ya know, like every able bodied person does.

i hate that the first question my dad asks anytime i say that my entire body hurts is “do you exercise enough?”

i’ve tried, and it hurts so bad. it makes my pain worse, and when i do it where the exercise doesn’t hurt me, i’m still in pain.

i hate this question cause when i answer, it’s just like to move to the next conversation or ignore me till i dont talk about the excruciating pain i’m in.

i hate that people masquerade my pain under the idea of not exercising enough because it’s fucking easier on others to say it’s my fault and that it could be an easy fix rather then paying attention to the fact that i’ve said i’ve been in pain for almost 8 straight years!

to my fellow hypermobile ppl, if you are turning while standing... do not simply rotate at the hips. it can fuck up your knees and hips.

instead... lift up the foot on the side you are turning towards. rotate that leg AND your torso towards the direction you want to go in. put foot down. bring your other foot in line with the first foot. make sure your feet point straight when you do this.

tada. you have turned more safely. if anyone knows a better way to turn please add on. may your joints not crumble.

So I was in woollies and this sweet little kiddie starting chatting to me and yeah, he prolly wasn't that far up in school yet but I must've entertained him enough bc he kept talking.

(Kinda gives me hope bc I start work in a primary school tomorrow lol)

Anyway he asked me why I used my cane and I was thinking "how do I explain enflammed hips and joints popping out and stretching and stuff to this little kid" and my dad just goes "her body doesn't like her very much" and the kid just goes, "that's not very nice of it" and continues on.

This kinda just made me smile and I dawned on me just how easy it is to explain things to kids, and just how stupid old people can be with their 'natural healing, and 'yoga' and 'just get a back massage'.

maybe i like the way that my ehlers danlos syndrome makes my skin abnormally soft. maybe i like the way it makes my skin fold and hang in ways that i don't see on most other people. maybe i like that my body is unique and one of a kind. maybe i like that i have been told by previous partners that i'm a luxury to hold and that i feel great to touch and am great to look at.

my disabilities suck ass, yeah, no shit. i hurt myself and sublux my joints often. but i'm also allowed to like the parts of it that aren't all bad. i have an extremely unique skin texture, and i think that's pretty fuckin cool. maybe i'm allowed to like that part of it. maybe cripples are allowed to try to feel at home in our own bodies, as they are, without needing to feel like they'd only be happy if they were 'cured'.

Living in fear that my lifelong chronic pain is caused by Something Else because we've ruled out a lot of autoimmune conditions and my doctors keep saying "It's probably just your hypermobility" without actually LOOKING.

Perhaps it is my hypermobility, but no one is examining it or the pain closely enough for me to have a diagnosis for either of them.

I don't want it to turn out that my hypermobility is benign and my pain is completely unrelated. That idea scares me.

Sometimes I almost want myself to get worse because at least then I won't be constantly wondering if I'm overreacting or overplaying the problems/pain my physical issues cause me.
