Turtle On 100; October 31, 2021

Daily task 8. Expand your existing PCD knowledge or learn something new about PCD, and then share that knowledge with others. (Expand your knowledge and spread awareness of PCD. This can be done by making a post in a PCD support group posing a question about PCD to the group. We learn from other’s antidotal life experiences.)

The seventh daily task in the Turtle On 100 Day challenge is to expand your knowledge of the rare disease primary ciliary dyskinesia. Once you’ve expanded your knowledge, you then take that knowledge and put it to practical use in your daily life. One way is to help raise awareness of PCD to the greater population of this world. Do you have what it takes?

Daily task 7. Select a hobby & practice it every day. (Pick anything & stick with it, no days off. This can be combined with 30 minutes of daily self care)

The seventh daily task in the Turtle On 100 Day challenge is to select a hobby and practice it every single day for thirty minutes. Remember this can be an easy way to work both self care and a hobby into your daily challenge, as well as daily life. We need to make time for things that matter to us, so that we are not overwhelmed by our chronic illness or our loved one’s illness. This task will hopefully help you to identify and recognize that there is time for you as a human being in this chaotic medical life. Do you have what it takes?

Daily task 6. Take 30 minutes a day for self care. (Self care can be whatever you want. A nap, read, meditate, draw, or whatever.)

The sixth daily task in the Turtle On 100 Day challenge is to practice self care. Often when dealing with a chronic illness we forget to take time out and care for ourselves. Caring for ourselves is caring for our illness or our loved one with an illness. Self care can range from a bubble bath to working on an interesting hobby. In fact your daily challenge for self care can be combined with your daily task of learning and practicing a new hobby. Do you have what it takes?

Daily task 5. Hydrate according to your healthcare plan. (Consult your primary care, cardiologist, and PCD specialist for recommendations on hydration.)

The fifth daily task in the Turtle On 100 Day challenge is to hydrate according to your health care plan. Hydration is extremely important as we with PCD are mouth breathers while sleeping. That along with our non working cilia allow our mucus to pool and dry out which create thick sticky mucus that is hard to move especially first thing when waking. This is often the driving force behind nausea first thing upon waking when you have PCD. That thick, sticky mucus can make eating difficult as well due to nausea. Try hydrating to help thin out the mucus and prevent nausea upon waking. Do you have what it takes?
