For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my more debilitating symptoms is hyperacusis—a sensitivity to sound & vibration—that causes pain & extreme fatigue. This #embroidery, sensorium (2018), depicts that hypersensitivity. I also wrote a piece of music about this. Listen here: https://ko-fi.com/s/872acbb154

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: The paresthesia/tingling in my hands doesn't usually interfere with my day to day but it worsens during my migraines. This #symptomatology #embroidery maps one of those days: push, pull, & tingle (2018)

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my more disconcerting #MECFS symptoms is the paresthesia/tingling on my tongue. It worsens whenever I overextend myself. This #symptomatology #embroidery maps how my tongue usually feels: paresthesia (tongue 2) 2018

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my main #MECFS symptoms is multiple paresthesias (tingling). This #symptomatology #embroidery maps the paresthesias in my face: paresthesia (face) 2016

For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: This #symptomatology #embroidery, neuraesthenia (2017) explores the sensation of post-exertional malaise (PEM), the hallmark symptom of #MECFS. When I overextend myself physically, cognitively, or emotionally, I am too fatigued to even wash myself.

This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek. My chronic illnesses are an invisible disability, especially #MECFS. ME/CFS is a neuroimmune disease that has a worse quality of life measurement than any other. This #Sciart #symptomatology #embroidery, body map, maps out my symptoms as they were in 2016.
