Content note: I briefly mention substance misuse, eating disorders, and abuse – skip 6 minutes in to avoid. Throughout our convo, we discuss suicide, sexism and ableism in healthcare, cannabis use, the opioid crisis, and use some ableist language.
Welcome to April! It was sunny and windy as all get out here in Wisconsin, so here’s to spring.
In this episode, I speak with author, doctor, and fibro friend Dr. Ginevra Liptan. Together, we talk about the pain of fibro, pain management, Frida Kahlo, and how to get Lady Gaga to fund an institute or organization to study fibro – #GagaForFibro?

Transcript
Welcome to the chronic sex podcast! Chronic sex talks about how self love, relationships, sex, and sexuality are all affected by chronic illness and disability. That’s not all though. We’ll also touch on intersectionality, social justice, empathy, current events, and much, much more. Given the range of subject matter, this podcast is not suitable for those under the age of 18 and unless you have headphones in, you probably shouldn’t be listening to us at work. My name’s Kirsten Schultz and I’m your host.
