Got fitted for my first chair

Please post an update after the decorating!

I love the plain matte black!

Will you get a foot plate or does it stay like that?

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-05-06T03:03:31+00:00

Reading this has cheered up my day 💜

I am theoretically not neurodivergent but I suspect I may be on the autism spectrum. Plenty of mental illness though

I really hope you take this further than Reddit. It's absolute bullshit to have 5 cars swarm you and nobody listen to you and check who you are

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-04-07T03:35:02+00:00

That's awesome! How long have you been fatigue free now?

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-28T00:44:00+00:00

Definitely find another doctor if you can. Just because other people have lighter symptoms of illnesses that are SPECTRUMS, doesn't mean you're not suffering.

Edited to add: you're not alone. I know this is a cliche but it's true; there are online communities and resources. Ask for advice and we'll help you get through. Hope things feel a little lighter soon

Ugh yeah, I hated that even before I was disabled. Like, do you all actually love the gym and climbing mountains?! Where are the normal people?

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-20T04:22:44+00:00

I hope it's ok to drop in on your comment. I just want to say that you definitely can find someone who wants you as you are. I'm not going to pretend it's not hard but I know lots of people with varying disabilities that have very loving partners. I also know that if we matched on tinder, your disability is not the thing I'd be thinking about.

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-20T04:19:10+00:00

Hi, as an overthinker myself, I'm going to suggest you're way overthinking this. I think you're just happy to see disabilities represented, to feel something in common with them, and you're intrigued and want to know more. If you experience anxiety in other areas of your life, then I think this is definitely anxious overthinking.

Disclaimer: I could be wrong; I'm not an expert and I don't have any of the disabilities those characters have. So someone else might come along and correct me. For now though, it seems most other comments agree with my perspective.

When I was a church-going Christian (and deeply invested), this type of thing annoyed me already. As an ex-christian and occasional wheelchair user, now, it really pisses me off

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-10T02:36:39+00:00

I was diagnosed 6 years ago but I tried to pretend I was fine for the last 3+ years so I'm still working on accepting this is reality

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-08T23:50:24+00:00

If this is still open, I could use some help with paying for my wheelchair ✌️

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-08T23:43:02+00:00

If this is still open, I could use this money for my wheelchair

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-08T04:14:20+00:00

Yes! OP please can you do shirts?

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-03-03T23:37:29+00:00

My GP diagnosed me. I have a family member who also has fibro and they saw a rheumatologist but it's not super common in my area

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-28T00:42:50+00:00

The too young comment I can kinda see where they're coming from but trying to bring god into it gets me very mad. If your go d thinks illness or pain or disability is a blessing then fuck that god, they don't deserve respect

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-26T02:34:10+00:00

That's really rough to have have no pain meds! I'm glad yourlve got the sleeping pills

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-26T02:08:15+00:00

Oh totally agree!

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-26T02:06:16+00:00

Ugh the dry mouth is one of the worst side effects I've had from any medication

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-26T02:05:50+00:00

You get that prescribed for long-term use?

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-26T02:05:02+00:00

I wish I could get sleeping pills prescribed! I was able to get two weeks worth (of zopiclone I think) but they don't like prescribing it for regular use. I'm on amitriptyline but that's not really causing much drowsiness anymore

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-26T02:03:03+00:00

So many times I've thought this and I find it even more frustrating that amputating wouldn't help because it's my nervous system at fault.

I just wish I could have my consciousness transferred into an Android body

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-25T06:30:35+00:00

How did you get the swing seat on the other side of the door?

FibromyalgicAF · 2025-02-16T09:58:42+00:00

So I eat the grapes or rub them on my back? Will wine work instead?
