A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

Be excellent to each other
Absolutely no ableism.
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

The full document entitled “Guerilla media campaign on the United States” seized by the FBI from Russian government sources, is available here: https://www.justice.gov/d9/2024-09/exhibits_9a_and_9b.pdf

If you’ve been noticing more and more ableist content online like I have, this could explain it.

All is not lost friend. Believe it or not there are people in the US who care about this shit and are actively fighting it (and by extension, you)

When things seem to be at their darkest, look for the candles lit by your fellow man and help them to light more.

It’s always darkest before dawn.
