Own Your Health Data

Self-management is hard, chronic illness is overwhelming. Chronic illness robs you of your independence and control, leaving you feeling defeated and mentally and physically drained. Add to the endless appointments required; now, we also have to be considerate of healthcare systems under pressure. Guess who gets the short end of the stick? We pay with our lives. Perhaps healthcare systems were destined to burst their stitches because healthCARE was never built to care for people; it was made to keep people relying on it. That's not care. Can taking more ownership of our health make a difference?

My Health Story Now Live in Your App Store

(Story from MHS Founder's blog pudendalnerve.com.au) I'm a proud buttercup. Despite my many ongoing limitations, I feel I've come a long way. And today, I have a huge milestone to celebrate with you. But first, shall I reflect? The earliest evidence of being able to again participate in life was the posting of my first Instagram. It was July 2011, a few months before I began this website. I remember Instagram forming a lifeline to my creativity when my phone and a glass of water were too heavy for me.  After Instagram, more abilities began to very slowly unravel. I began to sit a little longer, think broader, and make a little more. I started building ideas a little grander and executing them.  Over the past 15 years, I have watched myself rise above the injury that changed my body in 2007. I have made a book and a short documentary, became an advocate, contributed to a medical journal and helped with medical GP training. And now the triumphs...

Rebrand Announcement: My Health Story

2022-02-12T20:03:10+11:00February 12, 2022|Blog|

The PainTrain My Health Summary team is thrilled to announce they will be rebranding to My Health Story. Keep reading because there are more announcements about the new website as well as a subscription offer of a lifetime... The consumer survey distributed to PainTrain MHS Advisory members, subscribers, and followers formed a clear decision to rename the health summarising resource to My Health Story. At close second was My Health History. In addition, the survey results indicated the much-needed requirement for an App version of the resource and more functionality for Affiliates and subscribers seeking more straightforward ways to access and include health information from their GPs. The development work has begun behind the scenes, and a new website is forming – we'll keep you up to date! BUT we also need a little support if we're going to make it to the blaring request for a My Health Story App. We've got an offer of a lifetime. Keep reading! (Can't wait to hear our offer of a lifetime? Bursting to support us? Then hit it!)

2021 Done, Dusted… and Destined

That means we look at the takeaways of experiences past to direct us on the way forward. There is much to look forward to – expectations of better healthcare are high. That's very much due to the recent announcement that Telehealth is here to stay. Of course, every person living with a chronic illness [...]

Presenting My Pain Management Story and Vision at the Murray City Coast Country GP Training

(Original post by Soula Mantalvanos for pudendalnerve.com.au) It was wonderful sharing my story and vision at the Murray City Coast Country GP Training. AND especially presenting on a stage and in actual physical life to 50 general practitioners (GPs) who were keen to learn about chronic pain. I've now participated in a few of the Murray City Coast Country (MCCC) GP Training sessions with the fabulous Dr Paul Grinzi (boy, does he get it!). It's a positive experience for [...]

PT Going Forward

2022-06-12T11:04:56+10:00November 21, 2020|Blog, Using My Health Story|

It is my absolute pleasure to let everyone know that PainTrain (PT) is being resurrected! No thanks to the horrid CV-19, telehealth has been catapulted into action. As the founder of PT, I saw this as an opportunity for the online ‘patient speaking’ resource. Telehealth is key to advancing healthcare but its implementation was lagging and that was impacting PT’s growth. That’s all changed with CV-19. Forced to use telehealth, professionals and patients have experienced another method for [...]

Repost from Soula: I Turned a Corner

We’re also learning to manage the sacrifices. It makes me feel I’ve turned a corner. Home, then A couple of weeks ago, I actually did turn a corner. After staying in Melbourne for a special family lunch, during the evening we also managed to catch [...]

Pain Train – think of it as a patient CV

2019-08-04T14:52:19+10:00December 17, 2017|Health Management|

Pain Train – think of it as a patient CV Judging by my own measures (hope you don’t mind me taking a stab here), whether you’re a professional or a patient you wouldn’t be thinking that it’s up to you to invite this new Pain Train language into your relationship.  Would I be right? You all know my Pain Train scenario – I instigated the use of it in my own pain management and Dr Christelis agrees that it [...]
