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.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. 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.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

After 4 years, I finally got approved for SSDI. $1,100/month and an additional $81/month for my 13 y/o child. (startrek.website)

How the hell am I supposed to live? This isn't even enough to cover rent in my area. I have a move-out date of August 31st and I have no clue what we're going to do.

And you can camp on BLM land for two week stretches, but after that you must move to another spot no less than 25 miles away. At least in this state. I understand you are probably making a recommendation in good faith, but most of the options available are unnecessarily difficult.
