One of our community members has shared this note One of our community members has shared this note she left on her front door ahead of her building’s annual fire safety inspection. She said “Someone with an awesome immune system might not get sick themselves, but if they get exposed they could still pass it to me. I think it is good to normalize asking for what we need and good to remind people that their staying safe efforts arent just for themselves, but for others.”

Have you advocated for yourself or others in similar ways? Share your experiences in the comments!

You might have to remind people about the extra bo You might have to remind people about the extra boundaries to do with your illness. They need to let you sleep in, eat when your hungry, or make room for lots of bathroom breaks. Be kind to yourself and set those boundaries! You will learn what you need and how to get it too.

On our podcast Amy Dahm explained, “The nice thi On our podcast Amy Dahm explained, “The nice thing about having that service dog is not only do you have an innate, life saving tool, but you also have the companionship. Because it can be very lonely being a patient, and sometimes you don’t want to be around other people. The dog can help you go out and make your invisible illness visible, and that’s tremendously helpful.”
