Mom is confused at times about why people react in a certain way about someone with a disability. But, she has come to the conclusion that some people are just afraid of disability. They have not encountered it, don't know how to respond, or think it means someone is "less than."…

@DiaryofaSickGrl my body is a machine constantly producing a stream of sensations, the majority of them unpleasant to some degree or another. even when I'm "feeling well" that just usually means I am having a 1-4pain day. when I look and act "sick" that is probably a 5-9pain day. &yes this sucks.
