Posted on Oct 11th, 2008 by Jen : Pursuing a Wealth of Health Jen
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 11, 2008:

Money, as someone already mentioned, but also their health problems and how they are coping with them or healing from them. It seems to me we are more embarrassed about admitting physical weakness or illness than emotional problems because people might think we are trying to make an excuse to be lazy instead of being honest. I believe it's critical for people to be honest about their struggles with health and their attempts to get effective treatment--and the costs incurred--in order for the health care system to change in this country and because then what works would be shared among those with a given condition and doctors can be pressured to provide the effective alternative. (Check out my profile and you'll see I had a battle with Lyme disease. I didn't recover by keeping my mouth shut or by being passive where doctors are concerned. :-) )
