Good question. I'd say stenosis, but maybe Hydrocephalus.

I went out last night. Took a bus across north London. Today I'm paying for it but I also was shocked at the hostility I felt while on the bus journey. The recent rhetoric around disabled people & benefits are really impacting society's attitudes.

When I was in my 20s, I was repeatedly denied a medically necessary hysterectomy because I might “meet a man who wants kids” I was left disabled, forced to undergo six surgeries, multiple blood & iron transfusions to preserve a diseased uterus for a HYPOTHETICAL child. 🧵

17-year-old #VictorPerez was autistic, nonverbal, had cerebral palsy, & walked with a staggered gait. He was lying in his yard with a knife when cops arrived. Cops shot him after he stood up & stumbled towards them. None of the cops' names have even been released!

I'm hiring: #MECFS or #LongCovid patients who 1) know how to run an ELISA reader 2) are phlebotomists Or 3) are good at keeping on schedule (could keep the team on a strict hourly schedule for a week. 😆)

What’s the weirdest unsolicited advice you’ve ever received for your health?

The stigma around "hypochondria" and "OCD" is the sanism that paved the way for the destruction of public health and normalizing mass death from pandemics. The whole idea is if you're deemed "fit" (a eugenicist term), you don't have to worry. About anything.

“Chronic absenteeism surged and hasn’t recovered” Yes I’m sure that couldn’t be related to the decision to normalize absurd levels of sickness and an immune damaging virus circulating year round, it’s probably bc schools closed four years ago, makes sense.
