The interpersonal dynamics of getting one of those "always glad to help, call me anytime" friends to actually show up and help with a task at a specific time has once again proven almost more than this disabled autistic queerdo can handle. The TL;DR: task got done, but not before a text, 2 phone calls, and an almost-meltdown. 😬

#DisabilityPrideMonth history lesson! 📚 ♿

Did you know the 504 Sit-In for #disabilityrights took place outside ERA's former San Francisco office ❓❓

Led by Judy Heumann, Kitty Cone & strongly supported by the Black Panthers, the sit-in spread nationally & helped change federal law.

The struggle to get stuff done today continues, as my bod demonstrates it's not just feeling sluggish but actively cranky. Grudging thanks to the bod for reminding me once again this is Not All In My Head ... though I'm also clear that some existential dread blues are weighing on me today too.

I've dabbled in drag and have long wanted to do more, and even figure out mobility workarounds, but time, energy, and COVID intervened - plus no concept was turning me on enough to surmount those obstacles. But now the idea of embodying that force of nature Ian Dury is really lighting my fire. Plus: current events make me want to attempt some more visible defiance of the transphobes.

I'm suddenly on a bit of a major Ian Dury trip, which has been very entertaining to say the least... but then this morning my brain was all suddenly telling me: "dude, here's the drag king role you've been looking for, you gimpy punk geezer you!" ... and now I can't stop giggling and planning outfits. I dunno if I'll ever take to a stage with this but damn is this idea giving me life right now 💗💗💗

LOL as I keep glancing at/using my new pair of canes in different levels/types of light, I keep seeing their color as different shades, varying from periwinkle blue to a more purple-y lavender. Trust my brain to unerringly go for the genderfluid mobility aids - I love it! :heart_transgender:

One of my most upsetting #ChronicIllness / #ChronicPain symptoms has returned this week after a few tears hiatus: unexplained acute abdominal pain triggered by any force running through my abdomen or change in pressure there (eg, standing up, walking, pooping, sexual arousal, any type of cardio, bending/crouching, lifting anything over about 5kg, etc.) Which as you can imagine is quite disabling. Thus far it's relatively mild (peaks of about 7/10 pain as opposed to the 9/10 pain it can be) and fades within 10 minutes of sitting still comfortably or laying down.

- I suspect this symptom is from endometriosis and PCOS related, though possibly influenced/exacerbated by hEDS - I've had PCOS confirmed by an ultrasound tech, but still seeking dx since the GP I saw at the time refused to label it beyond 'painful periods' and still investigating for hypermobility condition and pelvic inflammatory condition after 15 years of begging drs for answers - finally have a supportive pain specialist and a new GP as of two weeks ago! Doing an overview of each of my suspected conditions with a diagnosis/treatment plan for each next week which is the most hope I've ever had about the process. -

Anyway, its the first time this symptom has arisen since I accepted that I have PTSD, and it's confronting to realise that the sensation of this specific type of pain is actually a trigger. It triggers stuff around the gaslighting/medical sexism/neglect I went through when it first started in puberty, as well as the abuse I suffered in connection with the symptoms due to school sports, but also dysphoria.

I've had to miss out on work this week, and stop going to the gym, both things I've recently started that feel like triumphs as they show how hard I've tried to increase my capacity and improve my life and health and wellbeing. I feel completely betrayed by my body, and like it's not possible for me to make real progress in my life because something will always get worse. I'm so exhausted. I want these horribly defective, painful organs that poison me with hormones that make me anxious and emotional to finally be removed and incinerated once and for all. And I am very nervous about what it'll cost to get that done. I can't help but wonder whether somehow this highly distressing symptom has come back now if all times so that I re-prioritise the various conditions with my new doctor to potentially fast track the gynocological and hormonal care I will need to eventually get the surgery I want for gender reasons as well as disabling chronic illness reasons?? #hypermobility #dysphoria #NEISvoid #PCOS #DisabledResillience #DisabledQueer
