Lia Pas<p>For <a href="https://vis.social/tags/InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek</span></a>: One of my more disconcerting <a href="https://vis.social/tags/MECFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MECFS</span></a> symptoms is the paresthesia/tingling on my tongue. It worsens whenever I overextend myself.

Lia Pas<p>For <a href="https://vis.social/tags/InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek</span></a>: One of my main <a href="https://vis.social/tags/MECFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MECFS</span></a> symptoms is multiple paresthesias (tingling).

When I overextend myself physically, cognitively, or emotionally, I am too fatigued to even wash myself.</p>
Shantell Powell<p>This week is <a href="https://c.im/tags/InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek</span></a>. 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. </p><p>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. <a href="https://c.im/tags/InvisibleDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisability</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ChronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicPain</span></a></p>
Lia Pas<p>This week is <a href="https://vis.social/tags/InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek</span></a>. My chronic illnesses are an invisible disability, especially <a href="https://vis.social/tags/MECFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MECFS</span></a>: a neuroimmune disease that has a worse quality of life measurement than any other.

Carrie 🌏 My Several Worlds<p>Disabled people are almost always invisible. <br>We are very rarely ‘seen’ by able-bodied people.<br>Even in 2023, people still move past me like I’m not there.
