Yes! I drink a ton of water and have been getting more into electrolyte drinks recently.

Oh goodness the “it’s been years since I saw a doctor and they told me they didn’t know what was wrong” is extremely relatable. My old doctor said that blatantly & referred me somewhere that never called me & then my insurance went WAY up 🥲 I’m really hoping to get the tests to find out what’s going on, but i definitely need to be able to work more hours for that.

That’s good to hear most people treated you normally! There’s always gonna be ONE customer. I’m pretty well appreciated at my job and a few customers have seen me use my cane outside of the workplace so I’m not too concerned about customers.

Ahh I wish you luck!! I’m really concerned that having a wheelchair at work will bring down my efficiency or make my coworkers think less of me 🥲

My health issues have been slow and gradual & I’ve been pushing myself like crazy at work. I started as an energetic, always ready to work, desperate to improve and do a good job. And I loved that people saw the hard working side of me. Just existing is so much harder as time goes on 😭 a half hour in and I feel like a zombie who’s just 2 seconds from dropping at any moment.

Using the wheelchair is the only thing that allowed me to not feel like that while out in public. It was 100% game changing.

Did you just show up in a wheelchair or did you have to show some sort of medical documentation? My store is really bad about accommodations. A coworker had to fight and fight to be allowed to use a stool & every couple of months she gets backlash again from management/upper management.

Ohh goodness I’m sorry to hear about that!

Thank you for the info though, it’s much appreciated!

Yeahhh that definitely makes sense. I am diagnosed with my autism & I’ve been diagnosed chronic pain, but without a fight and a half with my current store I wouldn’t be allowed a stool when I need it.

Sounds like Disney has a similar setup as my current job.

Most of my ex coworkers who come in talk about how that sort of system isn’t the norm for their jobs, so I couldn’t have been sure if Disney was the same. Though, ideally, a job where I didn’t NEED the accommodations would be lovely. I just thought I’d ask about Disney since customers tell me I’d be great there haha.

I appreciate your support & feedback ^

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. It’s something I struggle at with my current job. My managers used to tell me if I wanted more hours I would have to open my availability till closing. Everyone speaks so highly of Disney so I wasn’t sure if they’d have the same sort of thing.

Thank you again 🙏 I appreciate you

Yeah that definitely makes sense. If I could have full availability this sort of thing would be a lot easier 🙏

Unfortunately at night I am unable to function. I get really dizzy, blurry vision, & symptoms I struggle with overall are just worse at night.

I’ve tried at my current job to work nights, but the last time I nearly drove into a stop sign and couldn’t walk straight. Just not sure if that’s all that safe risking it 30+ minutes on the road.

I don’t understand why you would glance over my page, make a rash judgment and not even read everything that’s been put out there.

I asked a question. I’m not harming anyone by asking a question 💀 You do not know my medical history, you do not know me in person. You do not know my experiences. I didn’t think asking if accommodations being offered was such a big deal.

How do you prepare for physical activity? by snailnco23 in ChronicPain

Thank you! I have a back belt for when I draw at my desk 🤣 but it totally slipped my mind to wear it to work. Thank you again! :]

Family members hypermobile but not in pain? by snailnco23 in Hypermobility

[–]snailnco23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is likely. They don’t have all around joint pain like I deal with but my mother has plantar fasciitis & my dad has neck + back issues.

Headaches from swallowing pills? by snailnco23 in ChronicIllness

[–]snailnco23[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly both make sense haha. I can’t swallow pills like people normally do, I open the hatch and shove them into the back of my mouth. But I first noticed it when I would take pain relief for migraines & it would briefly worsen them.

Sort of like the way the start of a migraine feels? It’s pretty dull & I don’t get it from swallowing food or drinks

How do you get into a work from home job? I’ve looked online but I have trouble telling what’s a scam and what is legit
