You are amazing April! How you deal with your conditions and your attitude towards it is so very impressive. Thank you for sharing such a personal part of your life. Your portrait of Fleurs is beautiful.
Finally got round to watching this!! I loved seeing the whole art process. You are so talented. Thank you for being so open and honest about your conditions! I really hope it helps people from being insensitive!
I am so glad you shared this. What a combination of things going with you! You do it well, girl. I have fibro, arthritis and other things that fight against each other, and just started menopause last year, which is a joy! 25 to 30 years now. It's all progressive. I understand that there is only so much energy and just so many things you do in a day and that you have to pick what you do. I am super impressed with your artwork. I used to paint and draw, but as time goes on, it's effecting my hands. Hope you have a good day.
There are many things now my hands prevent me from doing. I just try as well as possible. I think the things you listed don't necessarily fight against each other but maybe work together to fight against you. Lol.
I can't stand that question. It makes it feel like we have to not only justify our disabilities but sometimes also justify our existence. The phrase "you don't look disabled" also confounds and runs me the wrong way because what do they really expect Disabled to look like, and why? I loved hearing how you make gaming more accessible to you. I sporadically lose feeling and function in my left hand so this gives me some ideas for workarounds Fellow POTSie and Zebra here! Always great to have more of us advocating and educating when we're able to so thank you for what you do!
Yeah. I have good days were my hands move but I'm not sure how if that makes sense. But I can never actually feel which is strange. And those questions are very triggering. I get that it's what people are exposed to but wish they'd care enough to learn more.
If you stand up too quickly it can happen. But if it's not only limited to that you should see a doctor. You could be anemic, dehydrated or have blood pressure issues that need to be looked at.
Hi honey! I just wanna let you know you are so incredibly wonderful and an amazing strong woman. Meeting you has been such a blessing and you’ve informed me on information I can take into my daily life.
Thank you for sharing. Putting yourself out there like this feels very vulnerable and I admire you so much for it. You are so amazing.
Thank you so much. It's been a rough few days. I appreciate you.

This is amazing and i enjoyed hearing about your life. 💕
Thank you so much Heather!
Wait, you're not supposed to get faint/dizzy/see stars when you stand up? I thought it was common.
If you stand up too quickly it can happen. But if it's not only limited to that you should see a doctor. You could be anemic, dehydrated or have blood pressure issues that need to be looked at.
