Fam,
Tonight's #SpoonieChat yields to the holiday hustle and bustle and my iron infusion. It's a new med and I don't know what to expect. See you all again soon.
Love you!

Hey #LupusChat fam, there’s no chat today. Instead, save the date to join #CreakyChats tomorrow at 7 PM ET to discuss the challenges of the holidays with our fellow chronic illness community members. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
A7: there need to be living option with supports in place for those who have higher support needs!
#SpoonieChat
A6: visibility for sure. without the disability community, some of my tweets would never have blown up like they did. i also think that the solidarity we show can show non-disabled people that we don't discriminate against each other.

A3: COLORING! Hence downloading the Happy Color app. Consuming things that make my body feel good (can be salad or cake, water or wine #NoBadFoods #FatLiberation )! Doing things, as best as my body allows, to make my life better/easier like cleaning and showering! #SpoonieChat
A1: hi friends! lauren here, your friendly neighborhood medicaid 'expert' (i'm not and i think it's so funny everyone thinks i am). currently listening to my all taylor swift playlist because it's her birthday!!

Low expectations: Have doctors first do no harm, by masking in small rooms with me.
60% of those with #covid do Not know they have it!
High expectations:
Families/friends encouraged by Good public messaging, to understand our concerns.🔻Their telling others.
Dawn M Gibson A7 Awareness: 1. Medical field being dismissive of female patients in general. 2. Women being trained/acculturated to dismiss themselves. 3. Help women living with disability and chronic illness be heard and not dismissed.

A1: I'm still masking indoors/in crowds and staying home! 😷🥳🤗 #SpoonieChat #COVIDisntOver
A4) My cousin is deaf. Years ago I went to her graduation and I was a amazed by community. It was a high school for deaf kids and I was like 10 or younger #SpoonieChat
