Gearing up for April and some HUGE announcements.
I might be a legit world-class weakling because of disabling arthritis, but I promise I am one of the toughest chicks you'll ever know!

My petition for med coverage: DENIED AGAIN.
Taiwan supports keeping pts disabled instead of helping w. access to meds for #axSpA & #AnkylosingSpondylitis.
15 years of disabling medical history doesn't count! My story is on MySeveralWorlds.com.
I'll leave it here: My knees in 2022
πArthritis affects 1 in 5
π60% of arthritis patients are 18-64
πArthritis steals your life. I lost mine at age 34. I'm 48.
πArthritis is the #1 cause of disability

βBeing more honest and realistic about my limitations with #ChronicIllness is also key to learning to love yourself. For the longest time, I felt afraid to tell people how I was feeling.β ~Carrie

Good morning from Taiwan. I did too much activity on Fri and Sat so today is a full rest day which my cats supervise. They are very good supervisors at ensuring I rest. Too bad they can't fetch coffee.
Alt text includes their names. But Bijoux is the striped one and her name means 'jewel or highly prized' and Dany the black cat (Daenarys) is a GoT kitty who lives up to her name. These babes saved my life when I was fully bedridden.

@WesElyMD Person with several forgotten diseases here: #axSpA #fibromyalgia #pwME Very low QOL. It's hell.
Had a little stroll today with my @neowalksticks Gatsby. 'She so purty and dependable!'
Walking *sometimes* sorts my #axSpA pain out, but it also aggravates my #Fibromyalgia and #MECFS so it's always a fine line. I kept it short and I'm hoping it helps, not hinders.

Thought I'd get a jump here because patient advocates are worried about losing their communities. I'm a Canadian patient leader in Taiwan living with #axSpA, #fibromyalgia, and #MECFS. I run an award-winning blog called MySeveralWorlds.com. I write so patients can better understand life with #ChronicIllness and #disability. You are not alone! :11111:
