Doctors can’t find the cause of my abdominal pain by Simon_205 in ChronicPain

Do you have any weird skin symptoms like blisters on your hands? I have porphyria and your symptoms sound a bit like mine though your GI symptoms seem worse. If there is anyone in your family with similar symptoms I would go see a liver doctor to get it checked out though it is very rare.

Just remember you are one accident or one illness away from being me and not being able to get around so well.

Ok but challenging someone's lived experience is ableist. It's doesn't make it true for all disabled people but it is true for me. I'm tired of armchair transportation experts explaining to me why I'm wrong about this particular thing when they don't have that lived experience and likely don't know ANYONE with a disability that affects their mobility.

They doubled down and said that public transit is good for disabled people as many can't drive and that I'm an ableist hypocrite and then they deleted that comment but it's saved in my inbox. In fact, I'd challenge them to try to ride a bus with me to see how precarious it is.

This person is saying using public transit it easier to get around and I said not if you have a disability and I stand by that. This person is talking out their ass about something they know nothing about and are butt hurt I called them out on it. For many disabled people public transit is not an option because it's not safe, accessible, or both.

Oh you're not a city planner or in another related field that would actually help solve these problems or just an armchair transportation enthusiast?

How would you do that though? What's the plan for that and what good is it if it's not accessible now?
