Making an apartment more accessible?
Can’t ACCESS treatment!
The only available treatment for my 16 year long battle with a secondary autoimmune neuropathy is unfortunately inaccessible to me due to:
- insurance not willing add it to its coverage guidelines yet
- out of pocket cost being $9.7k/infusion.
According to my doctor, I need these infusions for at least 12 months to start.
This is what medical exclusivity looks like.
I live every day with neuropathy burning me from the inside out, which is quite literally hell and I cannot access treatment.

I don’t use any kind of mobility aid (though I’d probably benefit from one), so I sometimes question if I’m deserving of accessible spaces. For example, if I ever wanted to go to an event like a concert, I probably wouldn’t be able to get accessible seats. I can walk, but I can’t walk or stand for very long and I really struggle with stairs. But since I don’t rely on a wheelchair, I wouldn’t want to take a spot from someone who really needs it or get in trouble for not “needing” an accessible seat. A lot of times, I end up deciding it’s not worth the fuss and I just don’t do it. But each time I have to decide something based on whether my illness will allow it, a piece of my heart breaks. So, if anyone has advice on how to navigate the gray areas of accessibility, I’d love to hear it!
Subtitles on YouTube, how to make larger? #Migraine #Accessibility
Hi everyone! I have trouble with small print due to my vision and because it's a migraine trigger. Usually I just listen to things on my phone, but sometimes I want to watch something not in English or Spanish which are the only languages I understand well, so I have to use subtitles. But on YouTube they're tiny on my phone. Anyone know how to make them bigger? Thanks 😊
Accessibility is not settling for someone else doing a half-assed job; it is finding something that enables you to get things done in a way that meets your expectations.
