    Chronically Illing Out | E37 - Disability Rights, Freedoms, and Visibility Are Under Attack with Paige Beauchemin

    ChIlling In Review The day before Juneteenth, the DOJ quietly released a memo reinterpreting the 1999 Olmstead decision — the ruling that keeps disabled people in their communities instead of institutions. It's not a law, and that's the point. This week, NH state rep, psych nurse, and congressional candidate Paige Beauchemin joins Nieta Greene of Disability Community for Democracy, Nick, Beth, and Steph to explain why a memo can be more dangerous than a statute, and why they're calling it "Crip Crow." Our Call To Action Help us Say No to Crip Crow — and perform your daily call to action by calling and emailing your Senators and Representative. * Go to our new webpage to get involved and stay updated with latest resources: https://app.broadbanner.com/crip-crow * Read the DOJ memo: Application of the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act to State Institutionalization of Patients with Severe Mental Illness or Disabilities Disclaimer Chronically Illing Out is a podcast and weekly roundtable discussion that provides a safe space for real chronic illness and mental health conversations—by people with lived experience.

    Chronically Illing Out | E33 - Bridging the Gaps, Unifying the Communities

    Chronic Illness In Review This week’s Chronically Illing Out lands on an uncomfortable truth: the disability community is fracturing itself from the inside. Nick Paro opens by naming the divisions playing out on Substack right now — people attacking each other, misrepresenting each other — and frames the whole hour around a single question: how do we bridge the gaps within our own ranks before we lose the ability to fight anything else? Guest Nieta Greene, CEO and founder of Disability Community for Democracy, arrives with the credentials to push the conversation past venting and into accountability. What follows is less a debate than a shared diagnosis, delivered by a panel — Beth Cruz, Soso, and Doc Steph alongside Nick — who all live the conditions they discuss.

    Chronically Illing Out | E32 - Get Out The Guilt

    Chronic Illness In Review Dr. Greeley Miklashek is 80, recovering from long COVID and a second round of prostate-cancer radiation, and unwilling to apologize for any of it. He’s also a retired neuropsychiatrist who treated 25,000 people, wrote Stress R Us, and spent a career arguing that what most of his colleagues called “disease” was, more often than not, a body trying to survive chronic stress. In a wandering, generous hour, he gives Soso, Beth, and Nick a working definition of guilt — self-punishment for breaking the rules of a group — and then complicates it by pointing out that most of us no longer live in the group those rules were written for. The result is one of the more useful episodes the show has done on a topic that usually gets reduced to a slogan: stop feeling guilty for being sick.

    Chronically Illing Out | E31 - Mother's Day Monday

    Chronic Illness In Review The Monday after Mother’s Day begins with a head cold, a missing co-host, and a discussion on grief. Beth is out sick — appropriately, on a show about chronic illness — so Nick Paro, Soso, and Stephanie Wilson, PhD, hold the morning between them. The heart of today’s show is all about the chronically ill body keeping track of loss whether the dishes are done or not, and it’s important to say that out loud. Mother’s Day gives us the conversation opener into some unexpected tangents where we talk surveillance capitalism, isolation within the disibility community, and a case for community-owned infrastructure — all of it tracked back, eventually, to who gets counted as fully human.

    Chronically Illing Out | E30 - Functioning With Compounding Conditions

    Chronic Illness In Review This week’s discussion pulls a single thread — what does it actually take to function when your diagnoses keep stacking? Mack Devlin, a former journalist now medically retired, joins Nick, Beth, Soso, and Stephanie with one of the most compounding stacks the show has hosted: Becker’s muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 LADA diabetes, hypertension, depression, AFib, and chimerism — the rare condition where Mack absorbed his twin in utero and inherited a second set of genes. The conversation traces how someone twice told he should already be dead arrives at 46 with a non-profit in the works, a podcast, and a working impression of Kermit the Frog. It is the show’s thesis distilled: compounding conditions don’t add up to a sentence — they add up to a life that demands creative engineering.
