Jessica,

I really found some connection in this conversation, having been diagnosed with RA 25 years ago I had and do experience many of the things that were mentioned. Chronic illness can isolate and leave one feeling less than, finding and experiencing what we CAN do is a way to keep ones self lifted up.

Thank you for this conversation.

Wow. Jessica, thanks so much for this work you're doing.

As someone who has always been very afraid of debilitating illness, I found this an incredibly powerful and moving interview. I love that you go so much deeper in these conversations than most interviews, and the twists and turns you enable with your subjects. Thank you.

Thank you so much! You know, I hadn't intended to post such a long edit, but I found John's thoughts so moving, I didn't want to cut them short. And I thought they might be helpful for others going through similar situations. I so appreciate your response-- and I'm glad that the depth of the conversation is valuable to you. It's very encouraging to hear your feedback!
