T1: Why is it important for patients and/or care partners to share their stories with others? #patientchat https://t.co/qd4eqjdN0j
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat A1 : It's so very important for patients / caregivers to share their stories with others because , your story may encourage another to not give up hope . #patientchat

@LorrieForseth So true, Lorrie. And not only is it beneficial for the patient and/or caregiver community to hear the stories of others but all who advocate including healthcare professionals. #PatientChat

@patientchat Very true, that's a good reason to keep a journal , in case you forget vital information, it's written down. #patientchat

Topic 2 coming soon.... #PatientChat
Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare
A1. #patientchat I think it's important 4 many reasons 1) It let's others in community know they aren't alone 2) It can B emotionally cathartic to talk about ur experience & how you are feeling (if you are ready to) 3) Normalizes these experiences in society (we R less outliers)

T2: If you werenโ€™t always comfortable, when and how did you become comfortable sharing your story? #patientchat https://t.co/6d9cDkf9KH
Liz Kennerley (she/her) #COVIDIsntOver #PBMTReform @LifeAccrdingLiz
It's hard to treat without understanding. This branches out in *many ways*. From general awareness to friends and family, All the way up to, research hypotheses, and getting support from others in ways you never imagined. Especially, in the rare disease communities.

Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare
T2 #patientchat I've always been comfortable sharing my story but lately I'm worried that sharing MY story is also sharing my family's story, & I'm more aware of how uncomfortable THEY R w certain aspects I want 2 share It's my biggest struggle right now, walking the line
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat A1: It definitely took a bit to share my caregiver story, not everyone wants to hear it . I now go by the quote " speak your mind , even if your voice shakes " . I really hope I encourage even one person through my journey. #patientchat

@LifeAccrdingLiz I love this. Understanding... I think I'm going to adopt the motto "Raise understanding not just awareness" #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
@Purrfectly_Rare Appreciate you sharing that point of view, Marni #PatientChat
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
A2 I got tired of living in #ChronicPain so I decided it was time to ask for help. The more help I received the better my storytelling capabilities became. #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
@LorrieForseth Love that quote, Lorrie! #PatientChat
Liz Kennerley (she/her) #COVIDIsntOver #PBMTReform @LifeAccrdingLiz
@Purrfectly_Rare Thanks, understanding + research = treatments + cures. #patientchat!! It's also hard to fix a tire if you don't know how. So, we can't cure what we don't understand. Or, at least have the tools.
Patient Chat @patientchat
T3: Where can you go to share your story? Where do you suggest others start? #PatientChat https://t.co/VeiyINebkO
Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare
@patientchat Honestly, I'm just learning My family supported my advocacy/storytelling bc they knew I needed it 2 get through the DX Recently, I found out how much they were hurting from some of it I'm in a better place where getting it out isn't always as important #patientchat
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat My voice still shakes , but I want to be stronger for others who may not have a voice ( yet ) . Invisible illness like #Epilepsy / #SUDEP need to be talked about so much more .#patientchat

A3 #patientchat I love reading the stories on @TheMightySite or @PatientWorthy Twitter is great for connecting but the character limits make it hard to tell a story story I think anywhere ppl feel safe is a good place to go

A3: I started big through lobbying through @RareAdvocates, and disease-specific event Was., DC Hill events. Starting small with Facebook groups will help you get comfy in your skin. (I met one of my besties through a mitochondrial disease Facebook group.)
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat A3 : Social media channels like , Twitter , Instagram, YouTube, tiktok, Facebook as well as in real , if you get the chance to hang up posters , give a talk in schools etc . But beware of those who choose to make fun of you. Not everyone will understand. #patientchat . #educate

A3 Look at your local legislature. Health Committees often give the public opportunities to share. Conferences like @StanfordMedX, conferences should offer training and sharing opportunities like #Medx #patientchat

@patientchat A1 : A few months ago , @FINALLEVEL put up a quote on Twitter, so I decides to screen cap it . It's exactly how anyone should feel if they are hesitant in sharing their story . You may just help someone. #patientchat https://t.co/2k04drUmID
Liz Kennerley (she/her) #COVIDIsntOver #PBMTReform @LifeAccrdingLiz
T4: "Good things never come from in your comfort zone", or something like that. Our misery, and less than stellar days *can* be flipped and turned into butterflies. YOU never know without trying. Being vulnerable can be hard. Risks can be scary. #patientchat.

@patientchat A5 : I caution to watch for stigmas . Example; there are people out there unfortunately who think #Epilepsy is contagious, It is not . Also ; with Epilepsy, not everyone falls to the floor & shakes , do your research. There are over 40 different types of seizures. #patientchat

@LifeAccrdingLiz 100% I know I have said things wrong and come across in ways I never meant to on a few (or many), occasions When it was pointed out I rephrased & apologized for how I said it. I didn't get angry or defensive We all have 2 allow 4 some missteps by others-it happens #patientchat
