Disabling pain this week. Unable to do the tiny initiating movement to get myself up off a chair. Had to sleep on floor. Fun. Seems easier to talk about surgery, ambulance, cancer. But the stuff that actually cripples me… is easier to downplay than to explain. #NEISVoid #EDS

When people reach out to developers and corporations to advocate for accessibility features, we are often met with push back or silence in response. It’s frustrating but sometimes our community finds creative ways to create access in the meantime. (1/3)

Great suggestion by @jamiemango for patient advocacy professionals to join nonprofit boards & to encourage colleagues across departments (including finance) to do so as well. Industry reps can learn challenges of nonprofits & the orgs can benefit from their guidance #DGEVENTS
