@justembaswrld: honestly, it hurt my heart to read this. one because it felt like a personal attack, like my story, my life was as disposable and unimportant as a dirty paper towel. in fact, causing more harm, than it could ever good. and two because how sad for someone to feel they have the privilege to single handedly discredit a huge number of individuals based on an opinion, publicly, and proud to publish it. you don’t ask to be sick. but if you are so brutally handed the title, it takes years to accept after dreaming of it your whole life. it takes years to learn how to be proud, to learn to navigate, to learn to exist with it. and yes poppy, sharing these things create awareness. levels we’ve never been exposed to before, but how incredible. because now people can solve their problems, people can feel seen and heard and understood. it’s not an identity, or a token we collect. it’s our lives you are talking about. #fyp #recovery #chronicillness #livertransplant #foryou

the disgustinggg implication that disabled people sharing their lives like everyone else does dubs them a “sickfluencer” is simply saying disabled people shouldn’t be seen by the public. it’s 2026 poppy♿️

As a chronically sick mama to a chronically sick teenager I am so incredibly comforted to see content creators who are chronically sick; it makes us feel not so alone.

I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma and I was so scared I would never have a normal life again. I didn’t let that define me any longer. Now I’m a mother to my beautiful baby boy and so blessed to be in remission for almost 3 years!

This is just part of a bigger picture. Here in the UK, it started with politicians and the press discrediting autism and ADHD and now they are making it more widespread, attacking other disabled people too. They are literally causing hatred towards anyone who isn't what they consider as normally functioning.

you are quite literally spreading awareness and educating people on such a serious thing too? so i don't understand why people think that way about chronically ill people.

Emma, your comments are so much appreciated. I struggle with certain people who like to laugh and comment about what I call my “liver belly”. I had end-stage cirrhosis and received a transplant a few years ago. Even with that my belly still sticks out. I still have the autoimmune disease, PBC, that caused the cirrhosis. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m proud I made it through the transplant so well, especially with the judgements from others. I’m so happy you are here to educate the public. You do a great service for us and Im always so happy when I see you and how well you’ve recovered. I know it’s an ongoing battle for us.

The hardest part is getting people to understand that we may WANT to but sometimes we just CAN’T. It gets me down because I feel like I’m missing out while others think I’m just dipping out. 😎🏝️🤙🏼
