• 12 noon eastern: Stress-Busters that Work: Faithful and Fun Ways to Lessen Stress and Encourage Hope and Health with Maureen Pratt.

Invisible Illness week - Wednesday schedule & links

Here is Wednesday's schedule. If for some reason, they don't work, go to Invisible Illness Conference page (reload the page if you have it open already) or to the Blog Talk Radio page.

I have fixed the links in the previous schedules I posted; very sorry about the confusion.

Wednesday's schedule (the links are all available now):

• 12 noon eastern: The Civil Rights of Patients with Invisible Chronic Illnesses with Jennifer C. Jaff

Invisible Illness week - Tuesday schedule & links

Today's schedule and links -- I plan to add links when they are posted.

• 12 noon eastern: Assess Yourself: Find the Job You Desire and Can Do Despite Illness Limitations with Rosalind Joffe
  
• 3 pm eastern: Medications, Illness, Fertility, and the Desire for Motherhood with Jennifer Saake
• 6 pm eastern: How You Can Help Those Who Help You! with Jo Franz - no show link yet available
  
• 8:30 pm eastern: Healthy Boundaries with a Chronic Illness with Shelley Echtle - no show link yet available

Please pray the technical problems will be resolved.

I am hanging out in our chat room during most of these seminars.


Update, 6:20 pm Tuesday: It looks like the technical problems were resolved, but the links weren't all fixed, leaving some of us unable to find the programs; listening on the wrong page, etc. The 8:30 pm show last night and noon show today actually did take place but not where I expected to find them. Hopefully, the rest of the week will go more smoothly!

Invisible Illness week Monday schedule & links

After two seminars have gone by, I'm realizing folks are having a little trouble getting to the right page to listen to the seminars, so I will post the links for the individual seminars here to make it easier.

The programs are like talk radio programs -- you can listen and call in to ask questions; there is not simultaneous chat room though some of us are hanging out in our chat room during the sessions.

I'm including the two seminars from earlier today since you can hear the seminars by going to those pages, if you'd like to. Also, if you want to be included in the (probably incomplete) list of listeners on the web page, you can register on Blog Talk Radio and login before going to the seminar link.

The seminar pages do include more information about the seminars and speakers. See the Invisible Illness week site for information on the speakers and the schedule for the entire week (which does not include links to the individual shows).

Monday's shows:

• 12 noon eastern: Invisible Illness Week Kick Off with Lisa Copen and Christine Miserandino
• 3 pm eastern: Dealing with Hurt Feeling and Mixed Up Relationships with Leslie Vernick
• 6 pm eastern: Stress-Busters that Work: Faithful and Fun Ways to Lessen Stress and Encourage Hope and Health with Maureen Pratt - postponed
• 8:30 pm eastern: Secrets of Paying for Medical Care with Jacqueline L. Jones

I'll post more links later.


Tuesday afternoon update: The 6 pm seminar will be rescheduled, but the 8:30 pm was moved to a different place on Blog Talk Radio and I did not find it until now. Refreshed a lot of web pages, but missed the critical one, apparently... Guess that's what I get for leaving all these tabs open! I've left comments on the old pages to tell folks to go to the correct one now, so hopefully others won't have the same problem.
