For Lupus Awareness Month in May, we are joined by Melissa Chieza, an occupational therapist and mental health practitioner who has been living with Type 1 Diabetes and Lupus since she was a child.
In the episode, Melissa discusses her experiences living with Lupus and Type 1 Diabetes since she was a child. She talks about the challenges of managing both conditions, including the emotional toll and the importance of self-care. Melissa also offers advice to others who are living with chronic illnesses, such as finding a support system, advocating for yourself, and learning to say no.
