Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T1 Preventative Care - Prevent is an action. It gives me something to do, it helps me engage. Also, there is not guarantee in prevention. I understand and accept this. #patientchat
Patient Chat @patientchat
T2: How do you identify your risks? Does knowing your risks help you make healthier choices? #patientchat https://t.co/0GJXJXkh28
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat T1 : Preventative care ; Learning about seizure triggers & how to take care of yourself & or your loved one is part of Epilepsy advocacy & education. #patientchat

@patientchat T1: Many patients groups are predisposed to microagressions,racism,biases, etc.. impacting the ability to access risk reducing/preventive care. Changing ones “lifestyle” is easier said then done. I think it’s important to address #DEI #diversityequityandinclusion. #patientchat
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat T2 : Knowing your risks or seizure triggers, can help you make the right choices, with help from your health care provider with a plan in place for your specific need , may prevent injury #Epilepsy #patientchat

Memej99-SickleCellLifeOfMemej @Memej99
@patientchat T1: Preventative Care resonates with me because as someone with #SickleCellAnemia, #preventativecare is vital to preventing things like infections, strokes, painful #crises to further safeguard our #sicklecellhealth & protect us from further silent & organ damage. #patientchat
Memej99-SickleCellLifeOfMemej @Memej99
@patientchat T2: I identify #risks by learning to listen to my body & by discussing Everything going on with me, even things I think are small, with members of my healthcare team. It helps me make healthier choices because awareness can possibly prevent an even worse health event #patientchat

@Memej99 Thanks for joining us today, Jemela! #patientchat

T3: What are some challenges for certain populations in getting routine health screenings? #patientchat https://t.co/ZmbtbK8Spw
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T2 “risks” are action items we need to remember. Food is a good example. I might live something today and my allergic next week. Exercise is also an example, it means something different to everyone depending on their patient story #patientchat

@patientchat T3: Black Communities and Communities Of Color in particular face several barriers including medical mistrust, lack of nearby facilities, insurance & household income. Far too many issues affect underserved communities impacting their routine care or lack of. #patientchat

T3 Cost is the universal wall to access. Even in our “rich” country a $2 copay can break someone. #patientchat

T4: What role does wellness play in your life? #patientchat https://t.co/Fo627CvEsr
Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T3 Time management is another barrier. If I work 10 hours a day & my doc is open for 8 I have to decide on a smaller paycheck or health screen. If I feel great a health screen is going to be a low priority if I need my paycheck for food/rent. #patientchat
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat T3 : invisible illness in the Epilepsy community or any chronic illness community can make it tricky , what you can't see is harder to prove . You feel unheard in the beginning( if that makes sense) #patientchat

T4 for me I use a daily quality of life check vs using wellness. That said it’s a constant assessment process. Do I walk at lunch? Do I got in the backcountry to hike? Can I eat/drink X for enjoyment despite inflammation possibility? #patientchat

@patientchat T4: #Wellness plays a huge role in my life! Living with a #chronicillness like #sicklecelldisease wellness affects every aspect of my life. If I'm honest it plays a Much larger part than I wish it did, but I also know it's what I need 2 do 2 be as healthy as I can be #patientchat

T4 my #chronicpain is currently flaring bad. Unless I show (cry)/tell someone no one can tell bc it’s invisible. Do I share? Do I cry? Do I go home? Can I still be productive at work? All going thru my mind right now which relate to my current wellness #patientchat
Monique C Gore-Massy (she) #ACR22 @GoldenMoe
@patientchat T4: Once I realized wellness wasn’t something to achieve, an item on a checklist, 👌🏾. Im now allowing wellness to be a journey,changing it depending on what I need physically, mentally, cognitively..No one area, but doing what I can,with what with I have for ME #patientchat

Alan Brewington @abrewi3010
T5 I’ve my rely heavily on my #photography lately for mental health. It’s something I can focus on during #chronicpain spells. Plus it’s selfish too, it makes me feel a little better when my photos can make fellow chronic patients smile for a moment #patientchat

@patientchat T5: Oof, I'm currently moving from just making it with broken pieces. I changed HCPs that weren't serving my comprehensive goals. Put my therapist back on VIP contact list, lol. I'm also giving myself 20min in am before I give anything to the day.. #patientchat

CT we need more preventative care public measures so people can eat organic vs the Golden Arches. We need more #movementismedicine ideas in the work place. Let’s just ban smoking altogether. Finally let’s take more time to ask how might we…? when problem solving #patientchat
Lorrie @LorrieForseth
@patientchat C/T : Education is key in the #Epilepsy community, seizure first aid , advocacy, empathy, compassion & never giving up hope. Self care is not selfish , take time for you . As a patient or as a carer you matter , you're not alone 💜 #patientchat
