The Burden Of Cultural Taboos Surrounding Illness: CIDP w/ Ananya

This week we are pleased to welcome back Ananya, professor in McGill’s faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, specializing in Health Promotion, Social Determinants of Health and South Asian Health Equity. Only this time we aren't talking about the important work she does. Instead we dive deep into her personal experience dealing with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. The hell is that? It's a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function in the legs and arms. From childhood Ananya has battled shame, cultural taboos, and an uphill battle when it comes to finding love. We're so grateful to have Ananya back on the pod and hope you love this conversation as much as we did!

Not Enough Room For My Big Ol’ Brain: Chiari Malformation Type 1

Fiona Ramsay, is a Calgary-based designer with a master's in architecture and a passion for sports and the outdoors. Fiona shares her journey through Chiari Malformation Type 1. Although Chiari is something ninjas scream while driving their fists through the chest cavity of their enemies, this is a completely different kind of Chiari. Chiari malformation is a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. It occurs when part of the skull is misshapen or smaller than is typical, pressing on the brain and forcing it downward. Fiona emphasizes the challenges of diagnosis and the rollercoaster from symptoms to surgery to recovery. She also sheds light on living with an invisible illness and its profound impact on mental health. Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN
