Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
Rules
-
Be excellent to each other
-
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
-
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
-
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
-
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.

Moderation may be heavy handed at times. If you don’t like that, find or create another community that prioritises something else.

I ran a D&D session for my family (dad, aunt, uncle, cousin's husband) last Sunday. It was my first time bringing the group back to my homebrew world / plot after two years in the feywild.
They were in a hedge maze and found an intact redwood desk on clean white tiles... and that's all I had in my notes.
I scrambled and came up with a hidden drawer with a needle trap. And in the drawer would be a quill pen, a single sheet of parchment, and a bottle of ink.
The parchment showed as a letter addressed to the one who found it, but everyone else saw it as blank. At first they assumed this was an effect from the needle trap
However, closing and reopening the drawer refills with a new parchment, which behaves the same even if the person taking the parchment was not hit by the trap.
They played with it for 20 minutes, discovered that the bottle of ink was a magical potion, and moved on.
Then they discovered the minotaur in the maze, which was a callback to the game my Dad ran for our family when I was very young.
Sounds awesome!
Turning the panic of a blank spot in my notes into a high point of the session. Definitely was a lot of fun.
