Are you one of the millions living with a chronic illness? Our illnesses may be very different, but we have many of the same experiences, obstacles and frustrations. We are all working for a better quality of life knowing that pain, illnesses, and limitations will be our traveling companions. My name is Annette and I'm the host of Chronic Wellness, a brief, daily, podcast where we talk about it all: sex, self-care, mental heath, loss of identity, anger, how to navigate health care and have less days that suck so hard. I have this belief that: If health is the absence of disease, and wellness is the presence of wholeness; whether or not I'm ever "healthy" again, I can work work toward my wellness, my wholeness. Curious? Join me where you listen to Podcasts, Monday through Friday, for a few moments of Chronic Wellness.
