The only way to destigmatize anything is to talk about it. It may feel vulnerable and uncomfortable, but someone has to do it. #adiosstigma

In the spirit of #NewYearNoWaste, will you please start reusing your cardboard boxes, @Imperfectfruit? I was disappointed you didn’t take last week’s back when you delivered this morning...

[Maddie Ruud @MaddieRuud]

@UPSHelp! My package has been “out for delivery” every business day since the 5th. What gives???

I protest and I own an @aubrey_huff jersey. Guess which one of these statements is no longer true.

I was supposed to pick up meds today, but in too much pain to do so. Looks like I'm not the only one. #ChronicLife https://t.co/kxuaRgMseg

Pain is rapidly increasing due to this cold/illness and I don't have it in me to get to the pharmacy to refill meds. Such is #ChronicLife
