How to deal with your environment while you have a chronic disease, such as long-term COVID, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), Lyme, etc. I know this can be a real struggle. What should you do with all of the expectations and disappointment of letting people down while learning about your condition?

In this podcast, I discuss strategies for managing your work, colleagues, friends, partner, family, children, and yourself effectively.
