When it comes to living life with disabilities, some things just work differently. Most people would be hard pressed to say that they enjoy doing chores, but for people who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility, daily tasks such as cleaning the house and keeping track of regular schedules can require a lot more time and patience.

For those of us who experience chronic pain, sometimes we need to use techniques besides medications to help quell it. There can be many reasons for this.

Or maybe we simply make the personal choice to stay away from painkillers altogether. Whatever the reason, it can’t hurt (pun intended) to have in your back pocket some ways to reduce chronic pain that don’t require dependence on a doctor – ways that put you in the driver’s seat.

Of all the things I’ve experienced since becoming disabled, one of the steepest learning curves has been how to advocate for myself in medical settings. I’ve put together a list of things that can help you take care of yourself when you find yourself in the hospital or at the doctor’s office. Sometimes these environments can be intense or even a bit intimidating, especially when you are ill or in pain. Hopefully the following may make those times easier and may even help keep you safer.

When you have a visible disability and someone looks at you and begins to watch you, i.e., stare at you, you may begin to feel uncomfortable. Myself, I am very introverted and being stared at has always been hard for me to handle, even after 21 years in a wheelchair. In the early years after I first became disabled I reacted to being stared at with aggression. Over time I learned a few helpful tips to help me cope.
