Has anyone with a disability lived in a prefabricated home or double wide trailer? Good? Bad?

Has anyone in America lived in a prefabricated home/double wide trailer/manufactured home? (I’m not sure if they have them in other countries, but if they do, please share your experience too!)
I need to buy a house. But I might only be able to afford one of these type of homes.
Have any of you Mighty disabled folks bought one? What was your experience like? Do you regret it? How is it specifically with regards to disability and illness? Also any insight with regards to mold? I have mold toxicity and am extra sensitive.

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is Weluvmomma. I've been diagnosed with MCAS back in January, after a yr of labs and back n forth trips to my allergist office. however I suffer with chronic fatigue and chronic pain throughout the day. and a handful of antihistamines daily this is just insane. for 18 yrs I suffered from CHRONIC hives that were a head to toe. still waiting to hear from a GI specialist as I have more GI issues then I’d care to admit. most recently my doctor put me on cromolyn(before meals) but who can remember that before eating. food allergies are short, corn(this is in EVERYTHING even otc meds, I have to have my allerga compounded just cuz of corn byproducts), raspberries,kidney beans, hazelnut/ filbert, and oysters. the rest is a fork ton of environmental allergies. I live in the PNW we are the evergreen state for a reason and I’m allergic to most of the trees here . anyone else?

Types of dietary rules

#EatingDisorders

A dietary restriction means the person has limitations to certain foods which they cannot or will not eat. There are many reasons for dietary constraints and they differ from person to person. Some of the more common ones include dietary restrictions based on a medical condition such as a food allergy, sensitivity or disease management. Other restrictions are based on religious practice while some are based on personal lifestyle choices.

Food allergies or sensitivities, religious practices, and ideological beliefs are some of the main reasons people rely on specific diets or follow dietary restrictions.

While some restrictions are meant to prevent life threatening events, others speak to your guest’s personal and moral beliefs. Either way, they’re equally important.

Dietary restrictions are certain foods or ingredients that a person can’t or won’t eat. In the U.S, 40% of the population follows nutritional rules of some kind. They can be adopted by choice or recommended for medical purposes.

Intro

Skipped doing an intro the other day. 'Bout 7 years ago I got sick like the flu or pneumonia. I had this cough that wouldn't go away. I was working in a temple and the incense made me cough incessantly. Have a hard time beathing enough to do anything. Get really bad headaches all of a sudden. Intestines feel inflamed all the time.

Lost my job. Wife threw me out. Doctors I've been to can't help. One said said get a job and lose weight coz being immobile and in pain for a year caused some weight gain.

Got an appointment with a neuro-psych next month

Getting checked out for adhd and depression and traumatic brain injury.

Kind of wonder if anyone with a tbi experienced food allergies after. Mine are so bad I can't even go out to eat anymore or even buy most things from the store.

Meal planning is overwhelming with depression and what i think is adhd and chronic pain. Sometimes I don't eat for weeks because I don't have the energy to cook.

I'm afraid to go out of the house much in case I get a headache or incase I encounter a smell that triggers my cough and breathing problems. I've got incontinence problems too. I've had leakage from the backside happen at the store suddenly and I have problems with urinary urgency and frequency I think were caused by a car wreck I was in. I think absorbent underwear would help me get but it's kind of embarrassing.

I feel really tired and in pain all the time. It's been like this for years and I don't know how to make it better and people just assume i'm faking it and everything is okay and I'm just lazy and need to try harder.

I really hope this diagnosis comes through next month and I can start feeling better. I'm living with my parents now but they're aging and I don't want to end up in a nursing home in my 40's.

Anyway, don't know what else to say. Nice to meet you all.

Sugar Addiction Battle

I’m highly addicted to sugary products.. mostly sweets. I’m sick of the inflammation and the fatigue. I’m sick of feeling like sh*t. I’m assuming it’s mostly from the sugar. Has anyone tried to cut way back on sugar? I’m having a very hard time. I started a couple days ago. Of course I know it’s impossible to do it all at once.. at least for me 🙂 I’m craving my usual sweets 🍫 🍩🧁 I’m struggling 😢 Any suggestions or advice would be greatly welcomed. #Addiction #FoodAllergies #Anxiety #MentalHealth #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #BipolarDisorder #CPTSD #PTSD #Depression #ADHD #TheMighty

Quick Tip Thursday: New Diets Need Medical Consultation

Make sure your diet is compatible with your individual healthcare needs before starting a new diet to manage diabetes. Food allergies or food intolerances, as well as treatment-related conditions that require the restriction or avoidance of certain foods, should be taken into consideration.
