TKAM #833 Jillian Gomes #MotivationMonday

Summary: 4.30.18 Today we are joined by our friend, Jillian Gomes, who is here to talk to us about her experience with Lupus. It’s the last day of April, so we are getting ready for May, #LupusAwarenessMonth #MotivationMonday We start off the show by talking about TK’s birthday party this past Sunday. It was lit, and there was a ferret. Enough said. Also, Jillian Gomes is here to talk about Guam. In #NewsYouCanUse: T-Mobile and Sprint are to merge. What will it mean? Facebook to try the downvote button. North and South Korea have held a historic summit. Following #ChatroomCheckin we listen to Jillian talk about her story with Lupus and what patient advocacy is. As a patient, you have rights, and it’s okay to question. Remember that self-care and acknowledging when something is wrong are the paths to wellness. And if you know someone afflicted, you can help if you try to understand them and listen. #MotivationMonday Our Guest: @Jillian_Gomes The We Win Foundation: http://www.wewinfoundation.org/ Lupus Foundation of America: https://www.lupus.org/ Walk to End Lupus NYC (May 5th, 2018): http://support.lupus.org/site/TR?fr_id=1350&pg=entry The Spoon Theory: https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/ RUNDOWN 0:00 #SONG: Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra 3:12 Intro: Jillian Gomes is in the building; TK’s birthday party 16:16 #SONG: @MethodMan - You're All I Need To Get By 21:11 #Motivational Airout: TK’s avocado story 26:20 #NewsYouCanUse: T-Mobile and Sprint to merge #NewsYouCanUse: Facebook to try a down vote button 42:22 #SONG: Big Mountain - Baby, I Love Your Way 48:15 #NewsYouCanUse: North and South Korea held historic summits, what does it mean? 58:17 #ChatroomCheckin 64:25 #SONG: Usher - Bad Girl 67:45 #Guest: Jillian Gomes talks about Lupus awareness #DISCUSSION: Patient advocacy and awareness
