Looking for a half brother I apparently have

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for a half brother who I may have living or born in florida. (From what I was told)

He would be around my age 36, around 1990, and either know his father's name that abandoned him or have no father on his birth certificate.

His mother went to my mom to ask for help and was turned away.

My father has lived in Kansas, New York, and PA. Is a vet, used to be a truck driver.

It's kind of a last effort but I thought why not.

No disability flag, so I made one

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed a few years back and the lack of information bothered me. I'm trying to educate people this month and was looking for a disability pride flag and couldn't find one so I made one! I hope it's well liked, I'm super proud of how it came out.

Two stripes: The red stripe for physical & chronic pain condition. The White stripe for invisible illness.

The red heart: Heart health & illness.

Moon: Mostly happening at night & at rest. Shooting stars: The sudden sharp crushing pain.

Desperate to go to ohio ren fest

Anyone go whose disabled and have any tips?

Why do cute medical devices not exist?

I know this seems silly but me and my 13 year old are both chronically ill. I've gotten lucky with some pink and or cute designs but it's far and few in between. I need a shower chair for her and it's all sad blue, grey, and white hospital looking stuff.

Is there anywhere that doesn't overcharge dollars for basic stuff that's even different colors?

Is there a way I can design something and have it sent off to be made? I just want cute things if I'm gonna be stuck using this stuff.

My story

I've been diagnosed with heds pots and more. Have suffered my entire life with health issues.

Last year I got a severe upper respiratory infection and took antibiotics and probiotics. For three days I suffered in agonizing pain.

Lost 100 pounds in under two months, diagnosed with gastroparesis. Lost the ability to walk from my head down to my legs over a few months.

I ended up last year in the hospital and almost died with sepsis. They took a muscle biopsy which showed lactic acidosis.

I started being able to eat again and gained some weight and re learned how to walk.

I've not been the same since. Some days I can't really walk well and doctors still don't know what happened.

My neurologist just sent to check for mitochondrial disorders and to say I'm anxious is an understatement. Nobody I've talked to has ever been through what I dealt with.

I'm wondering if anyone went through something like this? (My whole family is sick all the time with random things)

I'm waiting on results but this is pretty much the last thing they can test me for.

Looking for polyam, burn the world for her book

Hi all!

I'm looking for a fantasy novel with either reverse harem or good polyamory representation. I love enemies to lovers or bodyguard type to lovers. I want the brooding mysterious past who would burn the world for her. (If you know what the Kaidan mod is for Skyrim, think his personality). I love differing personalities but they're all protective of her but she's not helpless.

I know it super specific but I'm writing my own novel and really love these things and am struggling to find anything.

Tropes: who hurt you, one bed, grumpy (not abusive) x sunshine, cuddling for warmth, morally grey, reluctant hero, burn the world, forced proximity, found family.

I also am really obsessed with the brooding mysterious x silly joking type x mc. (It's my novel and I need to research)

No pregnancy or rape please.

I'm not sure if this would be the correct place, I've had mallworld dreams but this place I have is recurring since childhood and I'm not sure if it's related or a separate place. I wanted to know if anyone else has been here. I've met people there and woken up feeling as though they were real.

(I have D.I.D and am unsure if it's just my head mates or not.)

There's a huge mansion and to the left is a circus, behind and to the right is a maze and an entire forest surrounds it that you cannot escape due to how volatile it is with living trees and squicksand. There's a bit of a darker tone and it's always overcast. It's a place of every nightmare I have for the most part. I've been seeing this place since I was a child. I've met people there on occasion. One specific guy who lives out in the circus and a few friends I've made. To the point where it feels very real.

Has anyone ever seen a similar place?

Hey all, I have so many chronic illnesses all related to hypermobile eds.

But there's one symypom me and my doctors cannot place.

I'll get the feeling of my skin burning all over and feeling like my muscles are being pulled and it's painful.

Nobody knows what this is and I've been dealing with it for years. It only started after 2020 covid. I cannot place a trigger. Anyone know what this could be? I'm desperate.
