My son, Allen. He died 5/11/18 because he had to ration his insulin. He was healthy when he had access to insulin. I watched him wither away and die because of corporate greed. This needs to stop. Now. #insulin4all
I’m still alive just not active because I can’t be for my own mental health.
On that note I got to meet @jpilbug and all I can say is I absolutely love this girl with everything I have. She is a true bright spot in my life. We plan for more meet ups in the future as well 💚💚

I am hosting a vigil in Washington D.C. with the #M4M4ALL
I will be reading the names of lost loved one to our cruel healthcare system's greed.
If anyone would like me to read the name of their lost loved one please send me a message. Dm's always open

The fact that Abbott actually signed a law into effect that’ll help diabetics is awesome. I’m proud of those that helped get this law drafted and signed. But to say it’s incredibly bittersweet is an understatement. Allen should be here. The govt should have cared BEFORE he died

Lindsey and I started this together and a ton of people told us not to get our hopes up and that we may have to try next session but she absolutely did not give up. I am so proud of her and everyone that helped along the way 🥺

“The study finds that over the last decade, people with diabetes in the U.S. have become significantly less successful at controlling their blood sugar.”
Meanwhile:
Whatever in the world could explain these findings? 🤔
Oh right, insulin is necessary to control blood sugar (and survive) but in the US, it’s priced at $300/vial. A vial lasts me about a week. medicalnewstoday.com/article…

6 miles from where I live. Where I work when I drive. 13 people shot. Taken by police cars to the hospital. So many people out drinking, the EMS had trouble getting to them. I hate this fucking country

I have 7 friends that I still talk to regularly from high school. I graduated in 1992, almost 30 years. One of those friends I’ve known since we were in kindergarten, 42 years ago.
2 years on this hellscape of an app. Fun times arguing with idiots on whether or not people with disabilities have a right to live etc etc etc..
But getting to know y’all has made it worth it
Remembering that time the cops asked if Allen was a druggie and demanding an autopsy minutes after he died saying that bc we were homeless drugs had to be an issue plus all the syringes meant he had to be shooting up. I was accused as well

I’m glad Twitter didn’t exist when I was a teenager and my a1c was a 13.9/128.4.
Also, this is why we hate doctors.

You never apologized for using my sons name wo contacting me. This wouldn’t save my son bc he had no insurance. Thousands will not benefit from this. I’m glad it’s helping some, but YOU need to do better and stop forgetting those that need the most help.
WE DID IT!! We capped the out-of-pocket cost of insulin in Texas!
Our bill is headed to the Governor’s desk for a signature! #txlege
Need has been filled. Thank you everyone
I have an urgent need for Lantus in Gardner, KS. He is out and won’t be able to get any for 1-2 weeks. Can anyone help? #Insulin4all
