Hi everyone,

I need some advice from ladies that are taking birth control. I started my period last summer at 20 years old (late start I know, but I was too underweight before) and it hasn’t been easy to deal with. I really want to take birth control to stop the periods, but my mom tells me I don’t weigh enough – I’m about 53 lbs. I was…

Hi everyone,

I’m planning on getting a booster shot soon (I’ve been vaccinated twice already) since I’m going to a concert next week and I want to be protected. I’m nervous about side effects though. Has anyone that received the booster shot had any bad side effects? I didn’t react to the first 2 vaccines, but I’m worried the booster shot…

Hello there. I read your post and I wanted to share my experience. In late November/early December of 2021 (can’t remember which one), I tested positive for covid after my sister and parents had gotten sick from it. Miraculously, I never got any symptoms whatsoever, except for maybe some sniffles, which could also have been from the cold… Read more

Hey everyone! So I’m really in need of advice regarding the vaccine. I really don’t want to get it in fear of how my body will react to it, especially considering that a vaccine is literally a small dose of the actual virus. I’m worried I could get really sick from the vaccine since my immune system isn’t really strong. I’m afraid of getting… Read more

So are they increasing the monthly amount SSI recipients receive, and if so what’s the new amount? Also when it says married couples what exactly does that mean? Does that mean two disabled adults who are married or does that also include one disabled adult married to a healthy adult? Sort for all the questions I’m naive with all this stuff.

Thanks for the information! When did you get your back surgery? I got mine in elementary school so I’ve had my rods for years, so it’s not really that sensitive and I don’t think the scar is still there (not that I can tell), but since you said that it does make me really nervous now about how painful it’ll be, not to mention the tattoo I want… Read more

<p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Hey, I’m posting this because I wanna get a tattoo at some point of fairy wings on my back but I’m not sure how I’d do it because I have a feeding tube and growth rods in my back. I know people usually lie on their stomach but I obviously can’t do that because of my feeding tube. I’m also concerned about the… Read more

Hi everyone! My name is Angela. Nice to meet you all! 🙂

1. I’m from Michigan, U.S.

2. I’m 18 years old and I have SMA Type II.

3. I like that being disabled has taught me that you shouldn’t judge a person based on their visible strength or abilities. Sometimes disabilities can be very apparent and visible, and other times they are not so… Read more

Oh yeah those stores are really good too. I just don’t know if XS or XXS would fit me. My mom does my shopping for me so she knows what fits me and what doesn’t. Unfortunately though most of my clothes don’t look very grown up though. I love cute clothes but sometimes I want to look grown up too! I weigh 40 lbs and I’m almost 5’ tall but my… Read more

Hi Alyssa! I usually don’t get out of the house much to shop but my favorite shops are probably GAP Kids (I’m very underweight so I have to shop in the kids department which really sucks), Kohl’s, Target and Old Navy. I’m really into cute fashion and Lolita fashion. I love other styles too though like alternative and goth. I read one of your… Read more

Hi everyone! My name is Angela, I’m 18 years old, from Michigan, and I have SMA Type II. I was diagnosed at 2 years old I believe. I just joined this community last night. I’m looking to make friends with girls close to my age. I’ve had trouble finding girls with Type II that are close to my age so I’m hoping to find some friends on… Read more
