Chronic Illness Support: That Chronic Thing
Hey there, I'm Cathy! Living with chronic illness isn't easy, and I'm here to talk about the ups, downs, and everything in between. Whether it's navigating relationships, work, or simply trying to make it through the day, I’m sharing my personal experiences and insights to offer support, humor, and connection for those walking (and rolling) the same path.
From dating while sick to finding small joys amidst the challenges, we’ll laugh, cry, and figure this chronic illness life out together. Join me as we create a space where you don’t have to go through it alone.
Chronic Illness Support: That Chronic Thing
Crummy Days, Cozy Reads, and My Cannabis Lifeline: Chronic Illness Real Talk
Hello my little ducklings! In this solo episode, I’m back after a few tough weeks, here to catch up and chat about life with ME/CFS, post-exertional malaise, and the ways I’ve been coping. From audiobooks (and my new “brain fog ratings” for each one) to podcasts that are giving me life, I’m sharing my latest finds and recommendations, including some great listens from Christina Applegate, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and Nora McInerney.
On a more serious note, I’m navigating a big healthcare switch for 2025 and learning just how complicated finding continuity of care can be. I’m updating you on the steps I’m taking, my concerns, and why staying with my Stanford specialists is a top priority.
Plus, a little chat about cannabis—my go-to pain relief and how it’s honestly been a lifeline that helps keep me from being completely bedbound.
Thanks for sticking with me, for every listen, rating, and review. It truly helps keep this show going! So join me for a cozy chat about books, crummy weather, weed, and the messy reality of managing chronic illness.
