I'll kick off my traffic w/fact that I've been helping a buddy dx-ed w/melanoma - AFTER THEY POINTED OUT CLEAR SIGNS ON LOWER LEG FOR TWO F'ING YEARS to "it's nothing" from derm - now they have post-op infection, lotsa "whatever" from major adacemic med ctr #patientchat

@patientchat I have been journeying with #epilepsy for over a decade. Diagnosed at age 22 after experiencing my 2nd seizure while driving. Crashed into a tree. Just 4 months after my marriage. #patientchat
Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey
As of today, acad med ctr is saying "broad spectrum abx is fine" and not doing culture OR blood work re infection. This, my friends, is medical error 101. My buddy's talking malpractice suit BUT has to get to not-infected/not-dead first. #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
@TiffanyKairos @patientchat So sorry to hear about your accident, Tiffany #patientchat

After the last virtual #patientchat, I’ve been thinking a lot about comedy and cancer/chronic illness. I enjoyed hearing Summer talk about using improv to cope, and I’ve met a few other improv/comedy-as-therapy people in the last 2 weeks!

Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey
My "help" in form of post-op literal help (driving, cooking, etc.) for abt 2 wks. Now I'm home, buddy is home-care currently, but acad med ctr (1 hr away from them) is flailing/to-ing/fro-ing him ... and still no culture/blood work. Oh, and CVS is outta med RXed. #patientchat

So, despite my best #epatient efforts - and my buddy's, who's retired journo w/mad comms skills whose mom was an MD - it's a sh*t show. Welcome to the best medical care in the world? YMMV ... #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@patientchat What's on my mind today...loaded question! 😂 I do appreciate you asking/providing this forum, though. I'm constantly thinking being a parent w/ a rare disease. It's a struggle sometimes, & I wonder how other parents are handling/dealing with all there is to balance. #patientchat

Patient Chat @patientchat
What do you think #patientchat?
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
@TiffanyKairos @patientchat I don't mind at all. It took years for my specialists to put the pieces together, get me to genetic testing and get those results back which led to my diagnosis. #patientchat
Diverse Health Hub @DHealthhub
RT @patientchat: What do you think #patientchat?
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
Like I said, just finished 3 weeks of back injections. Earlier this year I had 6 weeks of knee injections. Last year I had 2 heart surgeries in 3 months and a major neck surgery. I’m tired of the paperwork aspect of being a good #epatient. I just want to rehab & eat. #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
@TiffanyKairos @patientchat My care was very silo'd by specialist instead of someone assessing me holistically which I think would have led to a diagnosis faster. #patientchat
Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey
this is exactly the scenario my aforementioned buddy w/melanoma mess is confronting rn. They don't have lotsa options beyond that acad med ctr, since rural America. Blargh. #patientchat

Question for #patientchat - how do patients feel about utilizing digital tools to assist with patient empowerment?
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients
@RareDiseaseDad @patientchat I have 2 kids at home, both doing remote learning, plus an elderly parent who needs quite a bit of support so my strategy is to take it 1 day at a time. Some days are better than others. Some days, I hide in my closet with noise canceling headphones 🤫#patientchat

@SimplyKristyD I’m very pro-technology. I live in a rural area, and it helps level the playing field by giving me access to more things than I have in my area. But our internet access/reliability must also improve! #patientchat
Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey
My experience as early adopter of all things tech (fmr engineer) is I use all sorts of #digitalhealth tools, precisely zero of which are of interest to my clinical team, or even portable over to 'em via EHR. #patientchat
𝐓𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐬 @TiffanyKairos
@SimplyKristyD @patientchat I can understand that. It took years for my neurologist to finally conclude that I had Refractory Epilepsy. Several tests, hospital stays etc. #epilepsy #patientchat

I’d like to throw out advocacy and self-advocacy burnout. It’s very real, and I don’t think we acknowledge it enough. #patientchat
Mighty #HeathenSlut Casey🇺🇦🌟 @MightyCasey
Things I'm grateful for in 2020: ✅ @propublica #SurgeonScorecard ✅ Ortho surgeon who *perfectly* replaced my knee ✅ Being #epatient = participating pre- & post-op to drive my own +outcome ✅ Bonus comedy = 100% mobility, but I can't go anywhere (TYVM #COVID!) 🤣 #patientchat
Simply Kristy @SimplyKristyD
@abrewi3010 I agree on the tech needing to adapt to the patient journey/story. Just like healthcare, digital health technology can't be a one-size fits all solution. #patientchat
Adam Johnson - DadVocate @RareDiseaseDad
@SimplyKristyD It's been a must have for me, Kristy! I'm largely at home (like so many others, & starting well before Covid), so digital tools have been a must have fore my empowerment. From #telehealth to #patientchat to general interactions & outreach, I'm very thankful for it all.

I'll admit that advocacy comes at a cost. I no longer self-ID as "advocate," I'm an activist. Since I'm basically healthy (outside cancer history and geezerdom) I'm on the front lines of ALL of the humans. #datarightsarehumanrights #belikelight #patientchat

RT @ohhiialexa: I’d like to throw out advocacy and self-advocacy burnout. It’s very real, and I don’t think we acknowledge it enough. #patientchat

@Crohnoid @RareDiseaseDad @ohhiialexa Exactly how I wrote @CancerForXmas 🤣🤣 #patientchat
CalamityJane @JaneCanary19
RT @RareDiseaseDad: @ohhiialexa Absolutely! I'm discovering how emotionally taxing it is to write or recount/tell my story, & that effects me physically. I won't stop, because what I wouldn't have given to know I wasn't alone through my symptom/diagnostic journey, but I'm aware & try to plan now. #patientchat
CalamityJane @JaneCanary19
RT @ohhiialexa: @RareDiseaseDad Thank you so much for saying this! It’s important that we share our stories, to help change the system and help others. But it can be very hard to relive it constantly! #patientchat

@coffeemommy @MightyCasey @ohhiialexa @CancerForXmas @hilarious_is I tried to use/infuse some comedy into my 1st blog. It's a big part of who I am...jokes, comedies, & liking to laugh. My sense of humor & taste in movies/shows isn't for everyone, but it works for me (& maybe some who tolerate me can relate).😂#patientchat https://t.co/3mmcBxbDn6

@MightyCasey @Crohnoid @ohhiialexa @CancerForXmas Thank you for the encouragement! I really appreciate it! 💚 I definitely won’t stop...just have to figure out how to balance everything & still make time without overdoing it. It is cathartic, indeed! And I might have to think about that book idea. Intriguing! #patientchat

I forgot about #patientchat!🤦🏿‍♀️ But in my defense, it has been a pretty looong week over here!🖐🏿 Seeing awesome Tweets from it tho! It's always a beautiful & reassuring thing when patients can come together, share, be heard & be empowered.🤎❤ #patientchat is an amazing program!
