@LReedsbooks @patientchat I’m so glad to hear that, Laurie! I’m hoping things continue to improve. #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
T1: What are some frustrations you are dealing with right now? Has anyone managed to transform their frustration into productivity? #patientchat https://t.co/9LVkzeZqc1
Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer
T1: Being *very* busy at work and in all my #sidehustles to the point of being so stressed and forgetting to take my meds. Not good as a #rare and #chronic patient. #PatientChat
Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa
T1: I’m frustrated that people are acting like the pandemic is over just because they are over it! #patientchat
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
A1 physical and mental tiredness. 2019 was a rough year medically, 2018 dad died and had medical issues. I just want a break, I need a vacation from reality. #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat Hi everyone. This is Adam. Excited to join #PatientChat, listen, share, & learn. I’m a parent who was diagnosed as an adult, & it’s been a tough road. I’ve recently started to own my #RareDisease journey more actively, hoping to connect with & support others along the way. ⬇️
Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa
@carlyflumer Girrrrrrlll!! SELF CARE AND PUTTING THE MASK ON YOURSELF!! #patientchat https://t.co/SsPwLfN1WQ
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate
@patientchat T1: - Access to care. We've recently moved. In our new location there are two medical systems that have tied up all the doctors. In one system - you cannot choose your own doctor. In the other, waits are very long. Nine mos for my first appt. - informational only. #patientchat
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp
Hi #PatientChat! I lost time of when your chats are! I’m Heather, person living w 2 rare brain tumors and #RareDisease Cowden Syndrome. #btsm #pten
Christie F. VanHorne, M.Ed, MPH (she/her) @christie_mph
@patientchat A1: It can be challenging to be productive. I create a schedule and stick to it. Also, I am frustrated that people won't wear a mask properly. Cover your nose, people! ;) #PatientChat
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
Yesss! I miss going outside with actual people on life’s adventures #patientchat

Patient Chat @patientchat
T2: Are there any empowerment tools everyone uses on a daily basis? #patientchat https://t.co/YjcyOuiewL
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate
@abrewi3010 Stop the carousel - I want to get off kind of feeling. #patientchat
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp
A1: Honestly? Not looking for arguments or debates but I’m frustrated w masks. I need to breathe I need oxygen! #PatientChat
Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa
@cvhconsulting @patientchat It’s really not hard to wear a mask, people! 😭 #patientchat

Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer
@cvhconsulting Oh girl, I have an app that dings at me to take meds, and yet right now, I still turn it off like an alarm clock. #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
T3: What are examples of empowerment tools you personally use in your current health journey? #patientchat https://t.co/fjFzpSe46R
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp
@ohhiialexa @cvhconsulting @patientchat But with someone living w 2 brain tumors the masks have IMO a definite negative effect. #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@rarelikeher @GlobalGenes I bet this is such a challenge, Taylor. I relate in the sense that I’m hoping to meet my new found rare disease family (& hopefully get adopted!?!). I feel like I’m connecting with folks virtually, yet I’m also such a people person & want to meet in person. Someday! #PatientChat

Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp
@cvhconsulting @carlyflumer I have 9 alarms on my phone to help me - and I def need more. #patientchat
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
A2 to be honest, I have no clue to what empowerment tools even means. Personally I’ve gone back to a more serious study of Buddhism. Due to my #Caregiver functions when dad died, I’m trying to develop that voice more. I have things to say. #patientchat

Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate
@patientchat T2: Self-compassion. All in an effort to not beat myself up for things not going the way I expect, or want them to go. #patientchat
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp
@patientchat A3: Kind of repeated but alarms really help me to remember and know what’s coming next. Life Is in session. #patientchat

T3: Calendars, apps (meditation, fitness, connection.), and YouTube for lots of at home workouts! #patientchat
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate
@patientchat T3: Oops - answered T3 in T2. Here's another one - laughter. Finding the humor is very helpful to finding a way forward. #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
T4: What is the biggest hurdle you’ve had to overcome in your health journey and how did you approach/overcome it? #patientchat https://t.co/zjW5XnaxEK
Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer
@patientchat Accepting me as I am and being okay with it. #patientchat
Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa
T4: I’m still overcoming it! Thyroid cancer has a huge stigma of being a “good” or “easy” cancer, which means we get left out at the table or resources. I overcome it by, showing up, being consistent, and loud! #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat T1: Many frustrations. My #RareDisease journey really started in March 2019 & I already felt isolated, alone, & quarantined from my previous life. The pandemic added to & amplified this. A positive...I finally made my website & blog. Win! #PatientChat https://t.co/U0Bdme4gsA
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
A4 probably it’s my concept of problem solving. To often yesterday’s problem solving skills no longer work. Instead of morning that, which does nothing, I had to become flexible & creative. It’s fun to tackle new issues, adventures. #patientchat
Bingle @TheBingle
The frustration of misdiagnosis or holding back/changing truths & info is pathetic.Two Professors are connected to BS. At least one more is surely the bridge. Patients need alternatives.

Christie F. VanHorne, M.Ed, MPH (she/her) @christie_mph
@patientchat T4: Persistence. For so many in our broken medical system, it can be exhausting to keep pushing to find a doctor who will listen or to keep up with care and management. Tips to overcoming hurdles: take breaks, ask for referrals, keep a journal, celebrate the wins! #patientchat
Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer
@patientchat My doctor, patient portals, and support groups. Google searches and tweet chats are definitely helpful! #patientchat

@carlyflumer @patientchat T4: I hear you, Carly!

Honestly, I’m still working on it. #PatientChat
Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake
@patientchat T4 Understanding that overwhelmingly doctors either don't care, or understand the importance of caring. Also a provider needs to know that they can say "I don't know" as an honest response. And that no one can make my health a priority more than I can. #patientchat

When Drs. put down patients right away because tests reveal nothing wrong, the Drs. always believe tests over patients. Henceforth, those doctors may have things totally wrong.Patient finally goes on own! #patientchat
Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake
@patientchat T1 My frustration is presently as caregiver. Not being allowed to be w/my spouse at his appointments is unacceptable & akin to malpractice. The caregiver is the link between the caree and the provider. The buck often stops with us. No. There has been no movement. #patientchat

@llake @RareDiseaseDad Great question which I’m still working on. I believe we should start by celebrating failures as learning opportunities. If this can be accepted then celebrating the positive as learning opportunities should be way right? #patientchat

RT @TheBingle: When Drs. put down patients right away because tests reveal nothing wrong, the Drs. always believe tests over patients. Henceforth, those doctors may have things totally wrong.Patient finally goes on own! #patientchat

RT @LReedsbooks: @patientchat People experiencing illness need to know they are not alone. Illness is a singular experience, however, there is power in knowing that others are also having, not the same, but similar experiences. #patientchat

@abrewi3010 @RareDiseaseDad I agree with the positive approach. As a positive, I see this pandemic as full of opportunities to improve our world approach to healthcare. #patientchat

RT @Purrfectly_Rare: A.4 #patientchat I'm in the midst of handling my biggest hurdle. It is learning the balance between what is a true limitation caused by my #RareDisease vs what I have imposed on myself out of fear or expectation

@ohhiialexa @abrewi3010 Love it! Keep the hope! I came across these quotes the other day when discussing a local memorial for Anne Frank. As she faced unimaginably difficult situations, she kept her ideals and hope intact. Incredible is an understatement. #PatientChat https://t.co/qfkqI7AGTz

@LReedsbooks @patientchat Yes! There are always commonalities. The issue of mental wellness is a good example of finding commonalities and the ability to bridge gaps in understanding. #patientchat

RT @abrewi3010: I would add we need grace, love, and understanding just like every other human. We are not different, our bodies just dont listen to our quality of life expectations enough. #patientchat
