Team Vasculitis: Thriving through Life with Chronic Illness

One of the messages we get from very well meaning people is that we can do anything. They want us to know that we can still live full lives. We can still have dreams and goals. Which is good, we do need the reminder. We also don't want to be told that we can do anything. In a roundabout way it is saying that we aren't doing enough. The message is to dream bigger, do more.

The message we need the most often is actually what I can do right now is enough. Right now in this moment I am doing enough.

If you have ever felt like you need to do more and be more... espcially because of your illness, this episode is for you!

I am sure you have had friends get the same flu, or the same cold and mostly they have the same symptoms. Right? People focus on how similar their experiences are. Mainstream wise, it makes sense. A certain set of symptoms is used to create a picture of what a disease is, how it is diagnosed, and then you get treatment based on that assessment. Sometimes the treatment varies depending on severity.

When it comes to chronic illness, things aren't that different. We have symptoms that when presenting together give us a diagnosis. We find support in our community and shared experiences.

So what about when things are different? What about when things present outside of what is "textbook?" Listen to this episode to find out more!

A recent article came out about how the spoonie movement is toxic and we make one another worse, not better. How social media sucks us in and turns our support of one another into obsession that hurts us.

So let me start with what a bunch of crap. Total and complete crap. Absolute bull shit.

It also very clearly illustrated the ableism of the world around us. So many people just… believe it. Which is INSANE to me. Even before I was personally sick, I could see how there are things we go through that others don't understand. But when I don't understand it, I don't assume the other person is wrong.

From the perspective of the rest of the world we don't do enough. We "should" be able to function more or we should be able to get better. BuzzFeed writes articles about how we are choosing this and our amazing community is actually encouraging us to stay sick.... I find this unacceptable. Find out what I plan on doing about it!

When the clip came out where Ashton said he had vasculitis, it sent the community talking. One of the things is excitement that he is advocating, but is he? Another thing was frusteration that he used the past tense of "had." I talk about all of this as well as share some basic vasculitis info in this episode.
