This week we are Gabbin’ about Suicide prevention, raising awareness about the importance of Suicide Awareness. We gab about the high rates of suicide in persons with migraine and other chronic illness. As well as discuss resources out there.

This week we are Gabbin' about how living with Chronic Illness or getting any diagnosis can leave us feeling AnxiousAF at times! We are already dealing with the medical part, learning to accept the diagnosis, new medications, our new normal.  Yet all of this does not begin to peel back the onion layers of the day to day on how we feel.  The day to day of living with the pain, fatigue, emotions of all of this crap, which often leads to anxiety.  So this weeks episode, that is exactly what we are Gabbin' about!  How anxiety has affected both of our lives with our diagnoses.  We of course also Gab about some funny shit that happens along the way.  Why, because after all Laughter Is the Best Medicine, or at least a good belly laugh helps us get through the freaking day! 

Sometimes it is so frustrating when insurance companies stop paying for your medications or treatments that are actually freaking working! Like what the heck do they have some type of Baby Yoda telling them that oh this medication is working to well for people.   It's time to stop paying for this, the patient won't know the difference, they will find other medications that work.   Ugh, so frustrating, and don't get us started on prior authorizations that may leave you days on end without your medication.   Leaving you feeling anxious and in fear that your symptoms are escalating and the pain increasing.   Yes that is what we are Gabbin' about this Episode in DupeSurance!
