Hi ladies, so I’ve been having this issue increasingly over the last few months but my armpits itch like crazy, regardless if I shave or not. I’ve used both native and carpe deodorants and they don’t make a difference. Taking a shower and using sensitive soap doesn’t help. Witch hazel doesn’t help. I cannot figure out how to stop it and I feel like crying. There’s no rash. Just extreme itching. It almost feels like the skin is too… idk wet? Saturated underneath? Any ideas of what I could try? Does anyone else have this issue?

I’ve just recently ordered and am waiting to get my first wheelchair. Using it as an ambulatory person due to painful complications due to a condition I have. I plan to strengthen my upper body so I can self propel. Wondering if anyone has any tips of accessories I might want (cup holder, gloves, etc) and just general tips as I learn to navigate everything?

I’m scared of judgement from non-disabled people if they see me standing or walking into a bathroom etc. any tips on how to deal with ignorant strangers?

My condition is called vulvodynia, it affects my vulvar tissue and this makes it painful to walk and inflames my skin, but the nature of it is quite private as conditions that affect the genital region can be considered taboo.

Feeling a range of emotions. Excitement that I’ll get more independence back, being able to go out with my friends, but worried about judgement and mourning the life I could’ve had before my life got turned upside down in April 2025. So many emotions.

Just ordered my first wheelchair as someone who is ambulatory but cannot walk mid-long distances due to a painful condition affecting my pelvic region. Any suggestions of any accessories or gear to go with it? Ex: gloves as I plan to self propel, seat cushions, etc. Any tips? I know it might sound dumb but I’m new to this world of mobility aids. I’m sad, but hopeful I’ll gain some ability back in my life and a level of independence.
