Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
For so many living with a severe autoimmune condition, the
emotional toll can be just as frustrating as the physical one. Hi,
I'm Martine Hackett, Associate professor and Director of Public Health
Programs at Hofstra University and host of the podcast Untold
Stories Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition, a Ruby Studio
production in partnership with our Genics. I'm excited to announce

(00:26):
that we are returning for season three. This time around,
we're exploring the emotional journey of those living with severe
autoimmune conditions like mayasthenia gravis or MG and chronic inflammatory
demielinating polyneuropathy also known as CIDP.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
We may not be able to control our bodies, but
we can definitely control how we speak about ourselves and
showing up for ourselves in the middle of this battle.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
In each episode, we'll hear from people living with MG
and CIDP and learn about their experiences and they're ever
evolving day to day lives. While each story is different,
they're connected by a shared goal to raise awareness, build community,
and inspire hope in all of us.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Every single person living with the autoimmune illness has a
life worth living, and it's up to you to define that,
to capture that, it's to go guns blazing.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Along with my guests, we'll discuss the range of emotions
one experiences when diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. How do
feelings of anxiety, relief, or isolation evolve along the way.
