#invisibledisability — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #invisibledisability, aggregated by home.social.

  1. This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek. I suffer from migraines, scintillating scotoma, asthma, several digestive disorders, Long COVID, chronic inflammation in my foot, tendonopathy, anxiety disorder, and a congenital hip defect. I'm also dealing with deteriorating bone mass. It especially affects my teeth, which fall apart with disturbing frequency.

    At my absolute fittest, I was also at my most disabled. I looked like a fitness model yet could barely walk. No one wants to give their seat up on the bus for someone who looks young and healthy. Just because someone looks fit and healthy doesn't mean they aren't disabled. #InvisibleDisability #ChronicPain

  2. #TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
    My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
    “Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”

    1/8

    (continued in replies.)

  4. “Cannabis,  Alzheimers, TBI and Invisible Disability"

    Click here 🧠 to expand.

    Cannabis can still be a controversial topic. The medical benefits for those with physical and invisible disabilities are no secret. People with Invisible disabilities, such as brain injury and PTSD, can be afforded great relief from symptoms by the flower.

    Israeli Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, is a well known cannabis research pioneer who has been studying the plant for decades. Read about some of his work in the link below.

    Other Research indicates that individuals living with Alzheimers and Dementia may also benefit with less risk and damaging effects than other drugs currently used. 

    Findings from another Israeli Researcher, Dedi Meiri, argue that there may be benefits to these individuals as well.

    "There is a large and growing body of anecdotal accounts of the efficacy of cannabis for treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The shortcomings ... life-threatening dangers...with... frequently prescribed pharmaceutical treatments... makes cannabis a particularly compelling option – especially considering its solid safety profile."

    Even more research from the National Library of Medicine (PubMed.gov), speaks about the neuroprotectant antioxidant qualities of the herb. The PubMed link below contains several links to other studies on cannabis and it’s benefits for people with disabilities.

    The human body is said to have CBD receptors "built" in. I am neither condoning, nor condemning the use of “Natures Pharmaceutical"; nor am I suggesting it's use. I am merely presenting medical findings.

    According to laws in many places amidst these findings, the jury is still out on the subject.

    The little graphic I created below a few years ago, also is not an indication of support or use. According to laws in many places amidst these findings, the jury is still out.😉
