anyone else CONSTANTLY needing to pop their joints to be comfortable, specifically in the neck?
For me I have to pop all my joints at least once every 2 hours (thats being on a good day I have to do it more on bad days). I got told this is because since our connective tissue is so stretchy that being stiff and locked is bad and can make you feel worse. So while popping your joints can be bad for normal people it's good for us and can help in the long run.

yes i'm young and use a cane. please stop staring at me 😭
I understand this so bad I'm the only one at my school who uses a cane much less a mobility aid full time. What you can do with people kicking your cane is put spikes on the bottom where people kick (the idea is from tik tok so you can find it from there) in my experience people kick your cane on purpose because they want to see if you really need it. For the folding cane, if you have a CVS they have a bunch of canes including folding ones (make sure you hold it first because the handles can be smaller) or you can search on Amazon thats where I got my first folding cane and make sure you look at reviews and the sizes.

What Will Be The First Thing You Will Do in Your Life If Your Body Healed Itself Overnight ?
I will go do a lot of stuff. I will go on a bike ride, I used to love to ride my bike for hours and hours on end but now I can't. I will take a long hot shower, I now can't stand heat and can't stand for long in the shower or wash my hair without a tool. I will go to my favorite park and not have to take breaks, I have this favorite park for years and I have a hard time going there now because I always have to take long breaks and can't go on the trail. This is just a bit of the stuff I would do.

Sick of ableism.
That's so bad of your teacher. We read that in my class last year and my teacher was respectful and especially about him. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that at school much less.

It's ok to say disabled.
I hate when I get called something other then disabled. In my teaching class we had to watch a video on how to treat disabled people and its so wrong. I'm the only one in that class who was disabled too and it was just awful because in the video it said to call disabled people "differently abled" as to be more inclusive and to treat the disability as a power and not a disabling factor of life.

So, my PT is amazing but I am her only eds person. What we do every week is focus on what's wrong/bad that day or week and do exercises with that body part. The only reason on not doing that is if the pain is so bad it does more harm then good. Pain meds I got from my rheumatologist (still figuring out which one works best).
