GP makes me feel bad about my chair use
So I had to call my GP today because they haven't responded for over a month to wheelchair services requesting them to agree to me self-propeling for my new chair because they forgot to do it for my old chair.
The person refused to write the letter until she had this conversation with me so I've had to wait half a week for that on top of the month I've already waited. During the whole time she's like "oh you need to be walking as much as possible" "using wheelchairs going to limit your mobility and weaken your legs" and I literally I'm sat here being like my legs do not work after a flare up every single day is pain and exhaustion that I push through for when I'm at work because they physically cannot accommodate the space for a wheelchair or any mobility aids so the 5 days a week I spend on my inaccessible campus I'd rather save my energy so I don't have another seizure or have increasing pain.
I am honestly furious because her reasoning is I'm so young as if my whole life hasn't been bodied by health issues that I'm trying to prevent getting worse so I can keep working and keep having a somewhat normal life. I ambulate when I can and when I have to, I'm in the gym multiple days a week increasing my strength and getting exercise in that doesn't stop the fact that without any kind of support my knee gives out because it does not have the muscle strength anymore because I have FND and I am constantly exhausted.
