@K_SalemOaks
T1: Each time we tell our story we process it just a little bit more. This helps us heal and come to embrace that story as part of who we are. It helps others share in our experience and embrace us too. #patientchat #patexpsym #pinksocks #HCLDR @S4PM @Savvy_Coop @GlobalGenes https://t.co/cwnfgIF9jm
The Patient Revolution @patientrev
T1. When I was dx'd w/type 1 diabetes in second grade, I didn't know anyone else w/this disease. Sharing my story connected me to my peers. And my health is beyond-measure-better for those connections. #patientchat - ks
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8
I found peace in being able to share my story. It brought me a sense of acceptance and a realization that all I had left to do was embrace it and use it to help others. https://t.co/Hr9xlXbhvI I was actually just thinking the other day about doing an update. #patientchat

@patientchat T1 - Sharing stories is how we learn. Sharing stories about our illness helps us to understand and to heal. And hopefully by sharing others will learn from our experiences and realize they are not alone. #patientchat
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8
@ShereesePubHlth Truth. Life is easier to navigate when you have some understand or roadmap from someone who experienced those issues before you. #roadmap #support #patientchat
Ody @OdyO11
T1: Also, sharing my story in order to help others and to help research plays into who I am: I enjoy helping others & trying to better things. There are less opportunities to do so since my health declined, but this is something I can contribute. It gives me joy. #patientchat

@patientchat T5 - Share only what you are comfortable sharing. Understand that sharing can be done in increments, it doesn't all need to happen at once. #patientchat

Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate
@llake It's astounding how quickly a physician can lose a patient's trust. And with the loss of trust, there is no relationship. And with the loss of the relationship, it's difficult for patient care to occur and healing to begin. #patientchat

T4. There are many outlets 4 patients 2 tell their stories. You have to be able to tell your story in a way that best suits the audience of what you are saying. Whether its a friend/family or the public, or provider, or specific group. Skew your story to the listener #patientchat

@LReedsbooks @llake It would be great if doctors would actively seek a relationship and thus build trust. Too often they distance themselves by not listening or not believing the patient - not trusting the patient experience - which isn't a basis for trust or a relationship. #patientchat
