Welcome to c/disabled, an anticapitalist community for disabled people/people with disability(s).
What is disability justice? Disability justice is a framework of activism which centers disabled people of multiple intersections. Before participating in in this community, please read the Ten Principles of Disability Justice.
Do I count as disabled/a person with disability(s)? "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.
Follow the Rules:
- This comm is open to everyone. However, the megathread is only open to people who self-identify as disabled/a person with disability(s). We center the experiences of disabled people here, and if you are abled we ask that you please respect that.
- Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
- Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
- No COVID minimization.
- Do not offer unsoliticed health advice. We do not want to hear about the wonders of exercise or meditation, thank you very much. Additionally, do not moralize health or "healthy choices".
- If posting an image, please write an image description for our blind/low vision comrades. (If doing this is inaccessible to you, DM one of the mods and we will help.)
- Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
- When it comes to identify-first vs person-first language, respect the language that people choose for themselves. If someone wants to be referred to as a disabled person, respect that. If someone wants to be referred to as a person with a disability, respect that.
- Try to avoid using ableist language. It is always good to be mindful of the way language has been used to oppress and harm people.
- Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct.

I haven't been very active here lately as I've been having a horrific hemiplegic migraine on and off for nearly a week now. The right side of my face is still numb and tingly but I feel like I can chat a bit now. I'm not having any bad after-effects of the foot surgery, it doesn't seem to be getting infected this time. But my achilles tendon is still inflamed, I saw the physiotherapist today and they told me to buy inserts for my shoes but they're £30. They don't prescribe things themselves. At least he said I don't actually have to rest it totally, a small amount of walking should be OK.
glad to hear you're okay-ish 
Thanks. 
Fuck basketball for having those constantly flashing lights. Especially when there's three giant sceeens of it in a restaraunt. Death to the NBA.
I also hate how all media now tries to move as much as possible nowadays, can't enjoy treats without feeling nauseated
my meds got increased again, hopefully it helps but for now the adjustment period is making my symptoms worse 
im pretty worried im treatment resistant for anxiety/depression due to the autism and DID and what-not giving me good reasons to be constantly anxious/depressed lmao
Sorry to hear that. I've read that eating raw fruit and veg can help:

I got around at least one issue today. Since the physio said i can do a little walking I really wanted to get outside. But because of my foot surgery I can't wear anything that puts pressure on the surgical wounds. Last time I was shoeless for nearly 2 months and I don't want to go through that again so i got a pair of scissors and cut the netting of my trainers away, around the areas that are over the surgical sites. I then tried wearing the trainers, and it was fine. I wish i had thought of doing that much sooner, I might not have been shoeless and imprisoned indoors for so long last time.
On the downside even a little walking has made my achilles more painful. The physio said yesterday this achilles problem is most likely caused by the fact that my left side is so weak after the stroke. I've had non-stop issues with my left side since then - torn muscles in my left arm from lifting a small object, endless plantar fasciitis in my left foot, weak left ankle, pain all down left leg and now a swollen inflamed achilles on the left side. Just never ending issues in the left side all because of the stroke.
But weirdly whenever I get a hemiplegic migraine, it's always on the right side. God I hate being trapped in a shitty meatsuit! I want to return to pure spirit.
Amen, I hate my meat suit too, but I'm glad to hear you found a way to be able to walk outside honey. Take care of yourself, and I hope that being able to slowly go walking again will help with your achilles. The migraines suck, and I hope they won't stay forever.
Thank you. I recently tried a diet that's meant to get rid of migraines, Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live diet, but so many of the things on that diet actually cause me migraines, I had to stop. Every time I try to help myself, some barrier is put in my way.
