"Riding the Roller Coaster of Fluctuating Disability"

https://themighty.com/topic/disability/roller-coaster-of-fluctuating-disability/

"When people think about #disability or #chronicillness, they tend to do so in a very black and white sort of way: Either you are completely #disabled, or you are not — this is your permanent status, and your disability (or lack thereof) will affect you the same way today as it will tomorrow.

Were it only that simple"

"There are so many ways that an #illness or #disability can fluctuate, so many ways that the effects of such can change. But when you do have a #fluctuatingillness or disability, it often comes with many of the same pitfalls of a #hiddendisability. Judgement from those uneducated in the realities of disability, high expectations that are realistically beyond your capabilities, assumptions from others."
