In this week’s episode of Calling in Sick, I’m joined by comedian and content creator, Joe Glasgow (@joeglasgowshow). We talk about his plunge into the chronic illness life and how leaning into creativity and comedy has shaped how he has processed and navigated the sick life. Tune in to hear about our symptom “upgrades,” how we navigate being “two faced” and an enlightening discussion on what brings all these different disease profiles together into one community. Joe said it best during the episode, the world may not be curated for the chronically ill… but the chronic ill social media space is, and so is this episode. So get ready for your face to hurt from smiling and laughing so hard during this episode… and as always, thanks for joining me for another Monday of Calling in Sick! xx, Alex
