Though this is a channel by a couple where the female has a chronic illness, it’s not all we talk about (it’s touched on at times, though not in this episode). So join us for some laughs for all, and occasionally learn a little something about chronic illness, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, MCAS, trauma-induced anxiety and agoraphobia, and more! See our progress and setbacks with my health, how we cope with my conditions, and how we’re working with Mikka, my service dog in training, to be able to help with my physical AND mental conditions.
Also, as a reminder...chronic illness channels should not be a competition over “who is/appears to be the most ill.” I think it’s a depressing way to look at things, and I don’t want my life to be centered around my conditions any more than it needs to be. Often the sickest patients are the ones who are at a frustrating “in between” point, where doctors will not treat certain aspects of illness, based simply on their own opinions on what should be treated and when, and the fact that these conditions are rare (as well as the fact that they’re conditions predominantly suffered by females, and research has long shown that women are not taken as seriously as men!). Some of us are even too ill to make doctor appointments until a 3rd or 4th try, if at all! So definitely hoping to address/show understanding/raise awareness for the many of us in this situation, without being “the Sick Olympics,”as well 😊
