Weekly Round-Up
Time for this week’s round-up of the best of the blog posts which I’ve rad over the past week. These are the posts that have moved me, taught me something, inspired me, and which I’ve wanted to share with you. Don’t forget if you have written a post which you would like readers to see, just leave a comment below.

Superb post from Carolyn which deals with medical misdiagnosis and patient empowerment.
Men are often discouraged by society from openly sharing their emotions. Gogs explains why lessons from childhood around how men should behave prevented him from finding support for his mental health.

Finally this week, another sad loss for our community with the passing of Kristie. What a terribly hard few weeks it has been, first Ilene and now Kristie.
Sending love and light to all who are grieving this season.

Thank you Marie for sharing this week’s Roundup choices with us, and especially for including my post on patients who are now being asked to do the ‘heavy lifting’ to prevent being misdiagnosed. I was stunned by some of the reader comments coming in, responding to this ‘patient resource’ that suggests we patients must “be ‘part of the solution to misdiagnosis in women” (implying that, if we aren’t or can’t be part of the solution, we must be part of the PROBLEM!)
Last time I checked, patients are not the ones doing the misdiagnosing….
Take care, stay safe. . . ♥
