I appreciate my doctor's efforts to help me with my ongoing complex health issues ... but if he tells me one more time to “just hang in there" when I tell him I'm struggling, I swear I'm just going to start breaking things.

It's not normal to be housebound 80% of the time.
It's not normal to need to rest in bed for days after spending just 2 hours 'out in the world doing things.’
It's not normal to have doctors tell you to 'just hang in there' when you say your combined disability is severely affecting the quality of your life and ability to work, study, and participate in society.

Normalize treating complex, disabled patients.
Normalize prioritizing our well-being.
Normalize hearing our self-advocacy.
Normalize advocating for us.

"The boy had contracted measles as a 7-month-old, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

Then in middle school, he started to develop troubling symptoms...

[A] pediatric neurologist finally suspected a condition called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, or SSPE. It's a degenerative neurological condition that typically develops seven to 10 years after a measles infection. It is almost always fatal."
