This is why I’m literally terrified to start using a cane even though I should be. I already get judged so hard and ik I shouldn’t let that impact my health but like. Easier said than done

Oml this is so real. I went undiagnosed for years because I was passed off as “just” a chubby girl—all my symptoms would be chalked up to dehydration. Then, after losing weight, people have become MUCH more sympathetic and understanding… it’s disgusting.

same!!! or I mean, I’m not 100% sure I would benefit from a cane given the joint stiffness & instability in my wrists, but the main reason I’ve never even tested that out is because I already get gawked & smirked at so much for being fat, visibly queer and “unwell-looking” (flushed, sweaty, masked and/or wearing dark shades)

thankfully when i started using a cane i only had minimal issues. in fact a lot of strangers started being nicer, like holding doors for me and stuff. except there was ONE guy that was like “what’s with the cane” and started questioning me. my awkward ass put my cane away and limped the rest of the day out of embarrassment 😔

no bc i had to switch doctors bc of this 🫩 previous doc said it was lack of exercise and SURELY i was overweight bc i eat junk (girl i barely eat at all). then she said to exercise through the pain until i physically couldn’t 😭 switched doctors and i was finally taken seriously and finally had tests and xrays done
