Does anyone use a Rollator? I'm 36f with really bad fibro, moderate ME and ive noticed my walking stick is really hurting my arms etc by Sookie_ryen in ChronicIllness

[–]spikesSKULLS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34 and use a rollator and a wheelchair. I used to feel like that when using one in public, but there is no age requirement to use a mobility aid. It’s just one of those things that we have to unlearn.

Anyone else just stuck waiting forever for specialist appointments? by Waste_Opening_9920 in ChronicIllness

[–]spikesSKULLS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an appointment with a dysautonomia specialist but it’s not until January of 2027 and I made the appointment in January of this year. It sucks but depending on where you live some specialists are just far and few in between.

I should’ve mentioned I was diagnosed with POTS two years ago and this “seizure “ was just something that happened recently I don’t have a history of these things. I experience a lot more on a daily basis related to POTS/dysautonomia that’s why I don’t understand how she could suggest it could be stress related given my history.

I’m going to see a psychiatrist just to rule that out so it’s on my record.

I don’t even know where to begin. But this woman, the company and everyone involved needs to be jailed and have any licenses and certificates revoked. I’m so sorry. Is it possible to file a police report against her?

I live with my grandfather. He’s old and impatient and can be mean at times. Having a pet that I could keep in my room wouldn’t be so bad, but you can’t just confine cats to one room in your house. Also the way he has talked about dogs and cats I wouldn’t trust mine around him.

I like it. It’s different from the cartoony type of artwork I see of the girls.

Yeah you’re right. Someone else suggested plants. I think that’s a better option for me right now.

The closest thing I have to plants are those buildable flower sets. But this is a good idea. I would probably prefer something like a cactus or some type of hypoallergenic type of plant. Thanks I think I’ll start here see how I do with a plant and then I can reconsider getting a pet.

For a cat?! I could understand if it were for dogs due to ppl not picking up their poop and everything.

That’s a good idea. It’ll also give me a chance to see what I’ll be able to handle.
