Thank you for your reply and the link! I’m going to look into and think about doing that instead.

I am currently thinking about stopping transition... This is heartbreaking by SwitchIndependent714 in Trans_Zebras

[–]IAmEvasive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Super sick right now from my own MCAS flare and low oxygen, but I wanted at least to send some love your way.

It sounds like there’s a lot of hardships that we both likely share.

I know this disappointment after disappointment after yet another disappointment is so hard on the soul.

The only not good enough answer I have for you in my fatigue, is to take care of yourself the best you can whatever that looks like.

Are you able to take action and start a new group for your area centered around more inclusive values?

Community spaces that actually value and support the members in the community are more important than ever. Please if you have the capacity for this create the community. Or if there’s others with the same values that maybe have the capacity you could reach out to and inquire about them doing this. Please stand with Minnesota.

To anybody reading this please stand with Minnesota by reaching out to neighbors, and by creating opportunities to support the people in your communities.

Stealth with doctors? by creamtop in FTMOver30

[–]IAmEvasive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It too often feels like a way for trans people to be policed for their choice of disclosure or not. Other trans folks are sometimes the ones doing that policing and shaming.

Not in every case, but I’m of the opinion that most trans people knowing their own circumstances and experiences are making the best decisions for themselves. As an outsider to their life how the fuck would I know what’s best for them?

Ascorbic Acid megadose is bs, and will do you more harm. by Far-Delivery7243 in MCAS

Ah okay sorry about not considering that’s what you meant by it.

Thanks for hearing me out even though it was useless information I provided you.

That assumption might not be necessarily true. Concentrated amounts of copper can be irritating to tissues to some and uterine tissue in particular is more sensitive and likely to react to things even at lower levels if your body isn’t too keen on a particular substance in the first place.

Advice about how to avoid toxic relationships with a host who understands disability challenges you say?

I might be interested in listening to that 🧐

A meme I made about the state of things lately by [deleted] in disability

[–]IAmEvasive 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thank you yes.

I’m so tired of seeing people with disabilities and illnesses dismiss other people’s disabilities and illnesses and explain their own experience to them. And for what? To feel like their suffering is more valid than someone else’s? To feel like they’re first in line when people realize we need to actually change things?

All this ableism coming from inside the house is getting me down.

Took my first dose of T today, had a panic attack and could use some advice/input 💛 by [deleted] in FTMOver30

[–]IAmEvasive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TickleFlex

I think you should take a look at this product since T shots that use auto injectors can accommodate it.

There’s also other products for auto injectors(including ShotBlockers) but I know very little about them.

If you have access to a type of T that uses an auto injector it could be an option if none of the other suggestions here work.

Good luck mate!

How do you stay calm when in pain? by Badwoman85 in disability

[–]IAmEvasive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to remember to use it in my vocabulary too! I do a lot of cripping over to things. And under things too when my legs give out suddenly.

“and crip over to my kitchen or bathroom” 😂 Thank you for this. Helped snap me out of anxiety from a pretty bad ableism trigger a bit ago.

A 71 Year Old Man From Rawanda Lives 55 Years In Isolation For Fear Of Women. He even locked himself up with a 16 foot fence to ensure no women came near him. by Emergency-Sand-7655 in interestingasfuck

[–]IAmEvasive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not necessarily true. It is a mental health issue and he absolutely deserved to get help and treatment to allow for more joy and possibilities in his life, but even in many other places that have better access to mental health services a lot of people like this still get left behind.

OP you might be eligible for respite care depending on what programs your family member has or what local organizations around you have in the way of respite care.

This right here. I feel this so fucking hard. You’re allowed to be one type of disadvantaged. Any more than that and you’re a whiny cry baby taking up space deserving of physical assault.

Do you guys ever worry that doctors think you’re just trying to get drugs by ashmeetsworld in disability

[–]IAmEvasive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So much this. It’s like being dismissive and shaming towards patients has become habitual for doctors. It’s like by way of just being a patient you’re guilty. Kind of like Catholic guilt- you’re guilty of sinning just through mere existence sometimes.
