@christinabaltais.bsky.socialWhenever a friend develops chronic illness, has a bad experience with the healthcare system or faces temporary disability, they say “oh my god I didn’t know it was THIS bad” They did know. We told them. They chose not to believe us Believe disabled people. Listen. Help. One day it’ll be your turn
Show PostNew episode of our ME and Chronic illness podcast, Post-Exertional Mayonnaise is out soon. We consider how change impacts us as people with ME. Out soon! Search for us on YouTube and your podcast provider. Also find us at pempod.com
Show PostThe first time I tried to watch Contagion I found it so terrifying it took me three tries to get through it After 5 years of Covid…I now realize it was aspirational. Governments all over the world working together. People respecting science & helping their fellow man Truth is stranger than fiction
Show PostI sometimes think that ME is as just as much about dealing with the mindf#@k that the condition and PEM places you in, as the physical symptoms. It feels like you can forget how bad it can get until it happens again. A fresh hell each time.
Show PostDon’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask. You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system. You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable
