My disability-related horror movies!.
Missing the sleep window at 10.30 pm and staying awake til 2.00 am
Being asked if I could be pregnant while having radiotherapy on my pelvis for ovarian cancer
Being asked if I know the abusive man with ichthyosis
Seven attempts to find a vein
Sitting outside at dinner
Being told I’m really pretty, considering
Spending a fortune on pharmacy items but never reaching the PBS safety net
Being told by other disabled people that a skin condition is not a disability
Being asked to educate on disability for free
Ichthyosis and facial difference being used as a Halloween costume (even worse when it’s done by someone in the community)
Needing to disclose a medical diagnosis or personal info to have your access needs met.
