“We will survive him” 30,000 disabled and chronically ill people died annually after SSA cuts from 2017-2020 — do you want voters to survive if you’re not even wearing a mask to keep you and others from facing this situation? #CripTheVote

Covid amped mass disability

2008-2019, about 10,000 disabled people died annually waiting for determination

@audisdead Yep EDS/POTS/MCAS experienced physical therapists are vital for folks with any of these conditions — my spinal damage via EDS and untreated MCAS had my POTS and vagus nerve so reactive in 2019 that increasing any PT work led to syncope, vomiting, seizures, not digesting anything @audisdead Over 90% of EDS folks develop some kind of cervical spinal issue which compounds vagus nerve issues (worse for us than normal connective tissue folks)

PT and other pain care is often required by insurance before neurosurgery is approved — folks have to fail/get kicked out of PT

#MECFS and #LongCovid microclot treatment developments, a thread I’ll keep updating:

A month ago I started my first med of TT (triple anticoagulant therapy); it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been on all 3 meds

Already I’m noticed significant improvements in decades-long issues 1/? 1) I can feel my feet ache and change temperature again — enough oxygen is reaching my feet that my Raynaud’s and peripheral oxygen flow via #POTS is improving

I have had issues with this for 2 decades with severe issues for 1 decade; nothing else got me here 2/

Disabled people: it’s legal to forcibly sterilize us, deny us organ donation, deny us or force contraception, take our kids away just because we’re disabled, deny us life insurance, harm or kill us via no masks in healthcare

Doctors: stop calling it eugenics, we’ll block you Doctors: stop calling eugenics a crime against humanity, it’s not on that level

Disabled people: it *is* a crime against humanity, international criminal courts and human rights laws passed after the Holocaust did eugenics said so, sterilization was invented by eugenicists
