Hello! Welcome back to That’s So Chronic. Thanks for being so patient with me as I took a little break to get my health back on track. And we are back, baby! Better than ever. It's nice to see you again.
Today we are heading to Adelaide through the power of the internet, where I sat down with burlesque performer, producer and teacher Diana Divine to chat about her diagnosis of Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
In this episode we chat about her journey to a diagnosis, why it’s important to get a good GP, how she felt accepting the use of mobility aids (oh hey Dick and Betty!*), what it’s like being a burlesque dancer with a chronic illness, and we wonder why people feel the need to be rude.
*personal joke, you’ll understand when you listen!
I’ve been in Adelaide so many times and we hadn’t managed to cross paths yet, so I loved getting to know Diana Divine during this chat, and I know you will too.
