Hello Hello! I’m Jess (insta: jess_and_elda) and this is Patient POV! 

Today we chatted with Shedrica (@lupusspeaks), a fellow podcaster, and chronic illness advocate. She has lupus and strives to showcase how to live a good life despite her diagnosis. 

Notes:

  • Get involved in social media/chronic health community because people can provide resources and tips they use which you can consider implementing too

  • Planning, writing everything down and keep an agenda gives you a piece of control back and helps you not forget things because it is written down

  • Worry well once worry well: Plan in advance for a flare / who can you lean on to take care of the kids or your pets, have food prepped and in the freezer so meals are easy, etc.
