Today (June 19th, 2024) marks 4 years since my Type 1 diabetes diagnosis which makes this the perfect time to talk about how my chronic illnesses affect my everyday life.
In this podcast I open up about each of my 4 different autoimmune diseases, the impact they have on me, what’s changed what ongoing issues I still have and how I deal with them.
This includes how it’s affected my sleep, diet, social life, friendships, relationships and the many ways in which it has changed my life.
I also share a peek into my daily chronic illness management, my health goals, typical medical administration and what life is generally like for me.
As always, I am not a medical doctor and the way in which I choose to manage my illness is what works best for me. There is no “one” way to manage chronic illness and we all need to find our way and what works best for us.
The audio recording cut out at the end but all you are missing is my usual “bye for now.”
I would so appreciate it if you would leave a positive review on your favorite podcast player and share with your community and friends!
Let’s help educate and spread the word of the practical realities and emotional issues that becoming chronically ill bring from those who know it best.
It is only by sharing our stories and experiences that we can help someone else know that they are not alone when it comes to chronic illness.
