#BasicConsideration
For the first time in years, the lights were turned off in the room where I wait to see my doctor

The nurse was surprised when I thanked her for this

She'd said "the lights were always off any time she saw me in here"

Not realizing I was always the one to flip the switch

#BasicConsideration
#ChronicPain isn't something I actively experience

It's a resource intense background service my mind is always processing

It is lumped on top of an already overtaxed workload

Cognitive fatigue from a malfunctioning body isn't something our #Healthcare systems can quantify or take seriously
I've had a neuropthamologist leave me on a medication for two months, refill and all, that he noted in my chart as an "allergy" one week after prescribing it

A chiropractor "adjust" my neck, sending a shock of pain down my right arm, twice, telling her to not do that again after the first time
