Pour l'instant en Suisse romande à Genève, Lausanne, Morges et Nyon.

Is medical gaslighting a sub variant of Access Trauma?
If yes, it's all the more important that Sick people/people with chronic illnesses understand ourselves as part of the struggle for Disability Justice

Today I went for my first run in well over a year. I hope I will be able to keep it up. I used to do trail, mountain, and obstacle course races, but my health has made it very hard to pick that back up again. I have problematic feet. They are hypermobile with extremely flexible Achilles tendons. That means there is absolutely no bounce to my running, and every stride is strictly muscular. Tie that in with recurring Achilles tendonopathy, and it makes running almost impossible. But I'm gonna try to get my foot strength/endurance back. #running #hypermobility #AchillesTendonopathy #InvisibleDisability
*get into work*
*plan day, literally book entire day to do work with only a few short breaks*
*perform work*
*get exhausted, executive dysfunction starts to act up*
*coffee to shut executive dysfunction up*
*keep working hard through the whole day*
*leave work, caffeine wears off*
*huge bout of exec dys and possible shutdown*
"Why is this happening to me"
Ah yes, awareness month. Be VERY aware. We walk among you... Muahahaha!

Yup. I live with several. I won't get into the litany here, but they are invisible to most.
It doesn't mean they don't exist.

This morning I went for my annual lung checkup. My lung capacity is down a negligible amount, but is rated as excellent. My asthma is well-controlled because I am healthy and medicate daily. A cold, RSV, flu, or COVID could change all that rapidly.
After my appointment, I went to an X-ray clinic to get my knees X-rayed, and although several people there were wearing masks, several people with nasty coughs were not wearing masks. I hope my N95 did its job. I threw it out as soon as I was out of the clinic. I don't understand why people are so inconsiderate. I don't care if it's "just a cold." I've had to go to the hospital on numerous occasions because a common cold put me in a breathing emergency.
If you're sick and you're not wearing a mask in public, you could very well disable or kill someone. Don't be a dick. Mask up.
