- Hello Hello! I’m Jess (insta: jess_and_elda) and this is Patient POV!
Today we chatted with Jennifer (insta: gracefully_jen) who is also the host of the podcast called My Spoonie Sisters (insta: my_spoonie_sisters)! She shares her journey with rheumatoid arthritis, pustular psoriasis, and alopecia areata
Notes:
- For friends: Educate yourself, listen, be flexible, check in regularly, include them, be empathetic, respect their needs, and celebrate their strengths. Be a spoon collector, not a fork giver
- Move doctors if you don’t feel one is listening to your concerns
- Advocate for yourself if you feel a medication is not reacting well with your body
- Don’t get stuck in your hurt because your life is worth living, it's just going to look different
- You matter, you are enough, you are valuable
- You need to find your own way for living your best life despite what you are going through
- Don’t be afraid to find people and reach out about things they’ve tried or done or helped them to get more ideas
- Don’t get stuck morning the life you once had because life is still beautiful
