@bbhomebody I happened to get off the phone with the doc just in time #patientchat
IFFGD @IFFGD
A1 Shame and stigma are significant barriers to obtaining an accurate diagnosis & proper care for many pts. #patientchat
IFFGD @IFFGD
A1 For many, the emotional impact of shame & stigma may reduce their quality of life even more than their symptoms. #patientchat
Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc
T1: Shame prohibits patients and doctors from engaging in meaningful conversations & often prevents patients from seeking care. #patientchat https://t.co/CcLhbJhQRx
@
@angelee828 WI girls hitting a lot of chats lately! #PatientChat
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T1 I don't think shame is exclusive to healthcare, I think shame is an untreated symptom of being a chronic patient in life. #patientchat
STELLAR Study @StellarStudy
@StellarStudy is joining today's #patientchat!
@burtrosen
T1: shame hits family members Ive seen lots of families feel shame or be in denial about #lyme #autism and other chronic issues #PatientChat

Topic 2 (T2:) coming up... https://t.co/40Js21RTUn #patientchat
M&B Sciences @mbsciencesinc
@patientchat A1: So many illnesses are stigmatized in society, leaving patients at risk of avoiding seeking treatment out of shame. #patientchat #noshame
Rie Lopez, MPH (she/her) @RieOfLetters
T1: Shame comes from many places- not being able to do things we want, invisibility of illness, that it's all in your head. #patientchat
@
T1: Numerous roles; to an extent shame and preconceived notions can go hand in hand some conditions. HCP perception and public #patientchat
ElizabethKelly, Ph.D @Elizabe85727641
Greetings, Liz Kelly, joining late #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
T2: Has shame about your health ever prevented or delayed you seeking care or support? #patientchat
Liz Kennerley #LongCOVID #RareDisease @LifeAccrdingLiz
I'm Liz and represent quite a few rarely known and #rarediseases. #patientchat
M&B Sciences @mbsciencesinc
@RieOfLetters True- but at no fault of the patient. Industry and care provides need to be encouraging and #listen to patient voices. #patientchat
Rie Lopez, MPH (she/her) @RieOfLetters
@bbhomebody Absolutely true, Becky! Sometimes, I've been unable to bathe or feed myself without help. It is crushing! #patientchat
@
Shame actually can have an impact on mortality/morbidity statistics if we looked further, d/t not seeking care #patientchat https://t.co/CuFgns3hdr
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T1 Shame is also a symptom for #caregivers too. Possible symptom of being burnt out or lack of self care. #patientchat
ElizabethKelly, Ph.D @Elizabe85727641
T1 Shame/blame plays into the defensive, pre-determined role one take to avoid listening/ engaging with client #patientchat
@
T1: Can be big with family and friends also; mostly because of how they are perceived being around someone sick.. #patientchat

Topic 3 (T3:) coming up... https://t.co/40Js21RTUn #patientchat
Angela Cohen @angelee828

Your GPS Doc, LLC @yourgpsdoc
