"Why Are You in a Wheelchair?!" ♿️| ⁉️ Ep. 3
Update: 2018-07-01
Description
Inspired by Wheels No Heels (Gem Hubbard), I wanted to share my experiences of the wild things people say to wheelchair-users and the insensitive conversations that can find yourself in. ....complete with entertaining stories and ludicrous scenarios that I honestly hope you can find some comedy in over all. It's been a brutal, emotional week coping with the children at the border, so I wanted to go back to when I recorded this and inject some levity into the week. I hope it helps!

✧ Quick Disability FAQ:
-I have the trifecta of EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, mostly hypermobile, but with some crossover into vascular) / POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) / MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)
-I also have Erythromelalgia (aka "Man on Fire").
-Wheelchair user
-I also have many mental health complications from severe childhood trauma, but will mostly focus on medical disability here.

I'm Kaalyn, chronic illness warrior, wheelchair bamf and certified hellion for the greater good. Fueled by compassion, hungry for education, and always good for a laugh. These are my thoughts.
