Hi, everyone. I’m Hannah, and this is my life with chronic illness and disability. I am still fundraising for a service dog. Absolutely no one is obligated to donate! If you could even just share this and the GFM at the top of my page, I would be so thankful. ❤️

You have to show tons of proof to receive disability. Doctors letters, medical records, scans, testing, etc. 80% of people are denied the first time and have to go before a judge. That can take years. You think people fake to not even be able to live on the tiny check they get?

Shout out to chronically ill people that have illnesses that are under-researched. I know how isolating and sad it is. It feels like you’re screaming for help, and no one is listening. You’re not alone.

Banning masks is ableist. Simple. Hope this helps.

From the bottom of my heart, I do not care if you want me to stop talking about COVID. I hope it annoys you. I hope it gets under your skin. Millions of us are sick. Trust me, it’s worse for us. You just don’t want to hear it.

At age 26, I’m preparing to write a will and an advance directive. Why? Because the virus people still claim isn’t a big deal took my life from me. #longcovid

I’m back in therapy and starting new medication while upping my current medication. My second appointment is coming up. I’m okay and safe now. I just wanted to post this to show another side. This is something we need to talk about more. (4/?)

“What is one thing you’d tell healthy people as a chronically ill and disabled person?” You take too many things for granted. Things you don’t even realize matter to you right now. They’ll matter if you lose it all. You’ll miss every little thing. Trust me.

I liked doing things with people and my spouse. I loved traveling, going on adventures, reading, drawing, painting, and I even loved having a job. I also had a healthy immune system. This was all until I contracted COVID in August of 2020 before the Vs even existed. (2/7)

I had to withdraw from college, quit my job, and I never see anyone but doctors and my family. It takes me an hour to make a 30 sec. TikTok. I can no longer draw, travel, and I struggle with reading which is my favorite thing to do. My mind can’t even grasp audio books. (6/7)

You guys literally had me on your show a year and a half after I was disabled by COVID. The host said I was one of the worst cases he’d heard of. You made a big deal about long COVID, and now you act like you don’t know why people are sick.
