Ep 211 - Should I Have Kids After Onset of my Chronic Illness - Pregnancy, Medications, Morals?

If you don't already have children before the onset of your disease, it can be an overwhelming prospect. Will you still be able to properly care for a child? Is it fair to bring them into a home where you may be incredibly limited? What about pregnancy? Should you get pregnant? Will your disease or your medications negatively affect your child?

I go into all of this and more in this episode.

Ep 32 - My Journey with Wegener's Part 2

Wegener's Vasculitis - that's what my Rheumatologist told me I had. It wasn't easy to hear, and it was more difficult to live with. In my first episode about my journey (see podcast episode 4 - My Journey with Wegener's Vasculitis Part 1) I shared onset and diagnosis. Today I share with you those next couple of years. The treatments. The side effects. The emotional turmoil.

I put on 140lbs in a year.
Do I break up with my boyfriend or sentence him to life with someone non-functional?
How do I feel about freezing embryos?
Taking a medication to deal with the side effects of a medication (ie: prednisone)

It's not easy, but I want you to know you're not alone... I've been there too. I hope you find support, understanding and connection in my journey.
