Episode 038: What Are The Gifts Of Chronic Illness? Getting My Needs Met
In this episode I'm discussing the ways in which chronic illness has brought me different gifts, today's gift: learning how to get my needs met. I'm the expert on me. While I have LOTS of good help, I have to drive that help. If I'm at the doctor, or need care, I'm the one who knows what it feels like in my body or what care is most needed. I have to verbalize that to make things known. I study how others get their needs met and ask for help. No request has become too big or too small.
