Why understanding chronic illness improves community health | Lauran Hardin | TEDxMidAtlantic

[@maymagdy-3064]

I have just one dream that I stand on the stage of TED and I believe in my dream and my self. 😊💚

[@MisterRorschach90]

Tedx isn’t Ted. Just so you know. Ted talks is credible. Tedx platforms charlatans and conspiracy nuts.

[@Pyjamagossip]

I hope your dreams come true

[@Heothbremel]

Best of luck!!

I have a chronic illness and there is nothing more soul crushing than feeling like a zombie all the time and being in constant pain, but not being able to get the help you need because nobody believes there's anything wrong with you. If they can't see it, surely it can't be real, right?

What are you talking about? Fibromyalgia? If it's the case, Let me help you🙏🏽

[@gracecurrier4182]

[@michellekaiser5907]

It's good to remember that the system is calibrated for "normal" and that if you have a problem that's rare, it's typical to have to keep pushing. This is true in the US and the UK. "Normal" is easier to spot. I am sorry it places a bigger burden on rare illnesses.

*FEW TIMES I HAVE HEARD THAT SOCIAL WORKERS JOB MATTERS. THANK YOU. VERY PROUD OF IT*

[@mercury.sulfide]

I think it was a very good and inspiring talk. It's nice to see people that try to help homeless and outcasts because they are often ignored or resented even though they are also humans and should be treated as such. Also helping the poorest and learning to respect others might really solve a lot of fundamental problems (such as crime rates). Seriously, it's really sad to see so many awful comments under such a good video

[@Swa1nTrain]

Give me a crack on the TED stage, I have a great message ♥️👍🏼

[@RAandMyself]

Very true thanks for sharing this, social support on all levels is the biggest unmet need in the chronic illness community. SO many people feel alone and only if they knew there were other people out there, better resources, providers to help...things would greatly improve. Autoimmune arthritis is said to be caused by trauma and high stress, among other things. I'm living proof.

[@antixproductions4615]

Such a good talk!!! I love it!

Great Personality

[@corenastinnett1603]

That was beautiful......me, I lived in trees, not bushes. Still, these points of action and response are not hypotheses, they are indeed facts. I lived it. Outdoors is how I put it, for a year and a half I lived a lot as Charles did. The concepts Lauren talks about are the same that inspired me to pursue a career in public health. Lying in my bed in that field in Stockton Ca. Thinking......if I had a chance to tell my story, what put me where I was, the state I was in, would it make a difference? Thank you, Charles, God Bless You!

If you have 2 choices; 1. Have a perfect health in your whole life, not able to get any decease, no covid, nothing, But you will be poor in your whole life too. 2. You will become a billionaire. Don't have to work in your life again. But you have a chronic illness that make you have to depend on medicine your whole life, experience pain and limited your activities. Which one do you chose? Option 1 or 2 & why?

Well...as a nurse, she should know better as she does have a chronic disease as well. What’s “her story/excuse”? But she is the kind of person that believes a pill, not self restrain, better diet or natural cures, can cure it all (just masks symptoms and makes things worse).

[@MissLilyputt]

You clearly didn’t hear what she was talking about. You can’t have a better diet if you can’t afford food. If you’re homeless where would you store fruits and vegetables? Chronic illness can’t be wished away. You can’t ignore it away. Addiction, schizophrenia, diabetes, COPD won’t disappear simply because you have a positive attitude. You’re also assuming that the diabetes someone has is caused only by being overweight but that’s not true. This isn’t a pull yourself up by your bootstraps situation.

[@MissLilyputt]

Natural meds work in the same way other meds work. They mask symptoms. They don’t cure depression, addiction, or even the flu.
