This week we discuss Limits (things that Chronic/invisible illnesses prevent us from doing) and Restraint (things that we restrain and limit in some ways to do things). How limits and restraint works with chronic conditions and the adjustment that we have had to make in our lives to manage our conditions to live instead of simply function.

The Weekly Recap (check-up) evolved into a chaotic, mania-driven venting session. Honestly days to just meet up and complain, vent out those frustrations, are helpful little 'resets'. It's also a flashback of how the early years of the podcast ebbed and flowed conversation-wise.

Record keeping! With things like digital TOS, acceptance screens, medical treatment forms allowing you to be treated by the doctor... there's a lot of blind faith put into these forms and records in general. But sometimes the single situation can be seen in drastically different ways, which is why we find it important to talk about! Thank you Ruth for the suggestion and sharing your experience with us! We've definitely had our own ...
Labels... they're about as common to find as clouds in the sky are. However the labels and expectations that cling to us as time passes should be examined regularly and updated as needed. Maybe a change in labeling can help someone with their plans for the future. Maybe the labels they were using have become more of a crutch or a detriment, or even revealing to the mindset of biases and times long past. What are your thoughts on th...

Context in the shape of you -- probably an odd way to phrase it, but this episode discusses situations and how the context you have with it changes based on you at that time. The things you've experienced in life shape how you view and approach things. We discuss that and how it changes over the years as you get shaped by your experiences.

The journey of a diagnosis is not always a straightforward one. Sometimes we have a diagnosis that later, under a different medical lens, gets narrowed down to something else than what we anticipated. It's not cookie-cutter for how we're supposed to feel about a change in diagnosis let alone the emotions attached to the start of the journey with the new diagnosis and/or criteria.
