Are you struggling to get the care & treatment you need for chronic illness & pain?

Have you been searching for ways to improve your relationship & care with your primary care physician?

Amanda Grabb launches season three of Embracing The Pain Podcast with a must listen to episode for anyone with chronic illness and pain.

In today's episode, I discuss,

• The number one challenge those with chronic illness and pain have regarding the medical system.

Not to say there are no other gaps in our medical system, but the one I speak of today is directly related to our topic.

• I share eight common challenges & problems you can face with your PCP. I am sure you can relate to many of the ones mentioned.
• The top five qualities you need from a primary care physician to create a collaborative relationship so you can receive the best care, treatment & relief possible. 
• What you cannot expect from your PCP. I share what I learnt years ago & many of them came as a surprise to me. We often believe our doctors should give us information, guidance and support. But sadly, they often are not equipt, able or willing to provide all the supports we truly need to improve our quality of life.

However, I don't want you to lose hope. My goal for this season is to help you improve your quality of life, promote wellness and go from feeling discouraged & hopeless to empowered and hopeful!

• Finally, I conclude today's episode by sharing how to discuss your needs and desires with your primary doctor so you can begin creating a collaborative & patient-centred care treatment plan.

I hope you leave today's episode having more insights and feeling more hopeful when advocating for your care. 

Side note: I apologize for my voice in today's episode as I am getting over a serious infection and cold.

I am so excited to be back and launching season three. We are going to have an incredible season, with a combination of both solo & interview episodes. 

New episodes will drop every other Wednesday for free on all major podcast platforms, including but not limited to Apple, Google, Spotify, I HeartRadio & more. 

As always, please share today's episode with a fellow spoonie & leave a review today if you found today's episode helpful and encouraging. Your support and encouragement mean so much to me & your reviews help other warriors.
