Living with an invisible illness is a double-edged sword because people who do not live with it do not always understand it well enough to know how serious it can be.

I struggled to find a good quote from this because it's literally all worth reading.

This is about myalgic encephalomyelitis, previously called chronic fatigue syndrome. This is my most debilitating illness. When my partner sent me this article, she said, "He's basically just describing your life."

I'd be grateful if even people without ME and especially healthy people would read this and consider sharing it. There isn't much general awareness about this incredibly debilitating illness, and this piece succinctly describes what it is, what it's like to live with it, and some of the challenges ME patients face.

If you hit the paywall, use this link instead: https://12ft.io/https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/07/chronic-fatigue-long-covid-symptoms/674834/

What to say when a stranger asks about your cane in an uncomfortable way:

Most recently used: “It’s for emotional support”

Immortality is hard on the knees

I’m a professional pole vaulter

(Look side to side conspiratorially) …you can see it too?

I keep my quarters for the car wash in here

Huh? Sorry I didn’t catch that? Sorry what? (Make them repeat it until they get loud and/or embarrassed)

You should see the other guy

Do you wanna guess?

I drank raw milk once

Nothin’ gets past this guy! (loudly, pointing)

It’s actually for fitness, like ankle weights

Mmmm I just like the fact that I’m disabled is way more interesting to strangers than anything else about me

It’s a very rare pez dispenser

Wow!

I’m never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm

Walking? In this economy? Psh!

Essential oils go in it

For shits, giggles and a debilitating neurological condition

My no-good-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather forgot to carry madam zironi up the mountain

Cane?

It’s how I sneak snacks into movie theatres

Well it’s not for walking

(Croaky voice) I’Ve wAiTed 400 yEars for sOmEoNe to aSk mE thAt QUesTion

Finally someone noticed!

Thirst trap

Have you heard of Benjamin button syndrome

To hit small children!

I’m donating my leg to science

I’m going to be Tiny Tim this Christmas, you know, from the musical

To humble me

I mastered walking and thought I’d like a challenge

I keep rolled up $2 bills in here (whisper) …I don’t trust The banks

It’s sexy and cool

You tell me ;) no really, what’s your best guess? (wait for ittttt…. Boom now they are uncomfortable too)

Religious reasons

Then the last one on my notebook page is just a drawing of those 2 dogs from the ‘y’all got legs’ animation in sunglasses and “I got legs”

So there you go

Teacher: You should stop being so anxious!

Me: Oh my god you’re right! Why didn’t I think of that brilliant solution sooner? 😐

The original pic & writing doesn’t belong to me. I only edited/altered and turned it into a gif.

I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can't possibly speak for a diverse group of people.
