This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek. My chronic illnesses are an invisible disability, especially #MECFS. ME/CFS is a neuroimmune disease that has a worse quality of life measurement than any other. This #Sciart #symptomatology #embroidery, body map, maps out my symptoms as they were in 2016.

An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.

Just because someone looks “fine” and “okay” doesn’t mean they can’t be fighting a constant battle. Be kind!

it's #invisibledisabilitiesweek ! invisible disabilities are valid & can be just as debilitating, chronic migraine, cervical spondylosis & occipital neuralgia have unfortunately defined my life the last 4 years & it's taken a LOT to get to where I am now mentally & physically

When I asked my Dr. to fill out my disability tax form, she did it reluctantly, saying, this is for people who are REALLY disabled.

"Most disabled people don't claim #DisabilityBenefits.
Many would be eligible, but they choose not to, or are alienated from the process by how horrific it is. People overestimate how many claim, how we are deemed eligible, and how much we get."

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my main #MECFS symptoms is multiple paresthesias (tingling). This #SciArt #symptomatology #embroidery maps the paresthesias in my face. 🐡🧪🩺🧶
paresthesia (face) 2016 An embroidery of the outline of a face in bone coloured thread on bone coloured linen. The forehead, cheeks, jaws, and temples are covered in filigree lines in dark blues, greens, and yellows. There are French knots spaced out along the lips. Lines of beige strands of thread are strung from the knots across the face in a geometric formation.

It’s #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek.

I dream of an education system that proactively meets the needs of ALL students.

I dream of a world that doesn’t make people beg for the accommodations they need to be safe and successful.

I dream of acceptance, inclusion, and celebration.

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek & #WIPwednesday: May Thurner Syndrome (#IliacVein compression syndrome) seems to be a common comorbidity with #MECFS. This #symptomatology #embroidery in progress is based off a venogram of my stent. 🧶🩺🧪🐡
A pelvis, lumbar vertebrae, and part of the iliac vein are sketched in blue marker on white linen. Most of the iliac vein is outlined in grey-green stem stitch. A section on the left branch has been left blank. Intricate turbulence is being stitched in single strand dark aquamarine backstitch within the iliac vein. An hourglass shaped needle minder reading, “this is taking forever” holds the needle.

Another for #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek

On #cognitivedecline / #dementia
And the idea of still providing “light” and joy to your children who are trapped growing up in your diagnosis.

The highlights and shadows drip down her face and become an abstract looking mass of soil erosion patterns through most of the piece. The highlights reconnect into a spotlight, in front of which stand two boys who are making shadow puppets with their hands.

Thanks to the Neurological Alliance of Ireland for raising awareness of those living with invisible, unseen or hidden neurological symptoms.

Many people living with #FND have such symptoms and awareness and education is critical to feel more visible and understood. 💚🧡

I heard it’s invisible disability week! I had an undiagnosed lifelong calcified herniated disk slowly severing my root nerves and I had to get an emergency decompression laminectomy on my L5-S1 on November 19, 2024. It was traumatic and I almost died.

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: This #SciArt #symptomatology #embroidery explores the sensation of post-exertional malaise (PEM), the hallmark symptom of #MECFS. When I overextend myself physically, cognitively, or emotionally, I am too fatigued to even wash myself. 🧶🩺🧪🐡
neuraesthenia (2017) An embroidery on pale natural linen. The pale outline of a woman’s lower legs and feet, heels together, toes apart is centered. From the soles of the feet, thick red/orange lines coil beneath. From the big toes moving upwards, thick blue and off-white lines rise up through the inner calves and branch off at the knees. These lines coil and intertwine in a navy brain-like shape, and then move back down in wavy lines like a wide skirt around the ankles.
