I was honored to be invited as a guest blogger on DrGreene.com. I met Dr. Greene and his wife Cheryl in February this year, and they really are big believers in patients! I love that Dr. Greene spoke so much about shared decision making and really trying to understand the pain that patients report. I will be writing two more blogs for them in the next few weeks.
This blog entry was meant to provide some perspective on what it is like to be a teenager with a chronic disease. I try to be as “normal” as possible, but it is really challenging to try to deal with all of the medical issues while still in high school. I hope that this blog can provide some perspective to those who see patients and can help other patients know that they aren’t the only ones who are struggling.
The blog post can be found here.

I look forward to hearing other perspectives.
