Episode 65 of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now!
It's called “Diagnosis & MCS.”
It features a conversation with Annemarie Jutel, Ph.D.
Annemarie is Professor of Health in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Practice at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.
For decades, Annemarie has explored the power the medical establishment has to provide or withhold diagnoses, the clarity diagnoses can provide for people who receive them, and how communities innovate when doctors do not provide diagnoses or recognize illnesses.
I invited Annemarie to speak on the podcast, because diagnosis is such an important and complex issue for folks with MCS. As you know, most people with the illness are unable to get a diagnosis, because unfortunately, the condition remains widely misunderstood by physicians and healthcare workers.
You’ll hear Annemarie's insights about:
- The “transformative” nature of a diagnosis.
- How many people with so-called contested illnesses struggle to get diagnoses.
- How many self-diagnosis and determine which illnesses they have by connecting with community online.
- And more!
