Disabled/Chronically Ill Redditors, what’s the worst piece of advice someone has given you to “cure” your illness/disability?
Ed ecco le risposte:
Accept Jesus into your heart and he will protect you from all illness.
A Johovah Witness at my door that I opened as I was recovering from surgery (I thought it was my brother with my pharmacy pickup).
For bladder issues – “drink more water”, “drink less water”, “have you tried cranberry juice?” (It actually sucks since it’s acidic and makes things worse)
My favorite : “have you heard of kegels?” No. I’ve had this problem for years and years, been to multiple doctors, and I have never, ever, heard of kegels. Thanks. I’m cured. Kegels.
I have EDS, I was told to just stop hyperextending and then I wouldn’t be in any pain.
I can’t just stop it because I’ve walked a certain way for my entire life, and when I did try to stop it I ended up popping out a joint 🙂
Also, to stop taking painkillers because it was ruining my motivation to ‘get better’. EDS is incurable and with few treatment plans so nah.
I had a family member tell me I should wean off my beta blocker medication with B Vitamins. Without my beta blocker, I am bedridden. B vitamins arent going to do shit for that (plus most B vitamin pills make me throw up).
Just keep pushing yourself to exercise, building up how much you do then bingo! You’ll be fit & cured! I have CFS, literally the opposite is true.
Also, yoga, breathing, swimming with dolphins, black walnut extract (for everything I’ve ever had wrong with me. Who knew it was a magic bullet?!), mindfulness, go vegan, stop being vegan, and changing my “attitude”
