For other disabled folks in particular, I recommend the tag #NEISVoid
It's a continuation of a twitter tag that stands for No End in Sight Void, and is helpful as a place to ask for advice and share frustrations and information on niche health issues, particularly relating to chronic illness!

Edit: See below from @eladnarra on the origin of the tag/attribution to creator Brianne Benness!

I know that for many folks, one of the most painful things about the destruction of twitter is the loss of tools and spaces for folks to talk about, organize, and support each other around things like chronic illness and disability.

The last few years have been an even more fucked up time for disabled folks, and attempts by governments and employers to act like COVID is over and we're supposed to be back to "normal" keep the near future grim, on top of which because of long COVID, rates of disability and chronic illness are increasing.

Some other hashtags that may also be relevant (please suggest others as well!):

@eladnarra's comment:

I'm so pleased to see so many folks using this tag! Sometimes it feels like most of the Twitter disability community moved to Mastodon and/or Discord, but I like Cohost a lot~

If folks want to know more about the tag's history on Twitter and its creator Brianne Benness, she has an article about #NEISVoid.
