Season 2, Ep 12

Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

In this episode of The Chronic Chronicles, I'm joined by Alexandra, host of the Calling in Sick podcast, for an unfiltered conversation about life, work, and navigating the medical system with chronic illness. Alexandra shares her deeply personal journey from living with symptoms since childhood to facing a botched spinal surgery, polyarteritis nodosa, and the ups and downs of pain management.

We talk about DRG implants, prednisone, PRP injections, and the realities of working while in pain. Alexandra also opens up about intimacy, breaking free from people-pleasing, and why self-care isn't selfish. Plus, she shares her top three must-haves in her pain management toolkit.

If you've ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or unsure how to balance health, work, and relationships, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone and that your well-being matters just as much as anyone else's.
