A Podcast For The Rest Of Us Who Don’t Live On The East Or West Coasts
A respectful and honest discussion about arthritis that some people aren’t going to be able to handle. Texas-based host Jared keeps you current, and regulars Dr. Laurie, a psychologist and reverend from upstate New York, and Miss Trish, the tough love queen from New Mexico tell you what your doctor and friends won’t about your arthritis.
If you’re looking for a pity party, or if you want to show off your medications and wonder why you can’t get opioids for your arthritis pain, you’re not going to be comfortable here. But if you enjoy hearing reality-based conversations with refreshing humor, smart – but not snotty – guests and science-based perspectives that don’t make you feel stupid, you’re going to love The Morning Stiffness.

Episode 3: Why We Feel Guilty About Our Illness
If you’re feeling guilty about your morning stiffness, you’re not alone. Dr. Laurie shares how handicap parking stickers can be judgment inducing – but remember: pain is an invisible illness. Having some compassion and kindness goes a long way – both ways. We checked in with a patient who uses Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) to calmly clean an injection site, plus we have a chat with Ms. Trish about how your friends might be a little sick and tired about hearing about how you’re sick and tired.
