In this episode of Take a Pain Check, we are joined by the Jenna Kedy, a passionate advocate living with Juvenile Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. We dive deep into Jenna’s diagnosis journey, navigating school and childhood with a chronic illness, and the challenges of finding proper pediatric care. Jenna opens up about learning to advocate for herself, balancing a busy life of advocacy, volunteering, and pageantry, and the realities of managing pain and flare-ups. We also explore the differences in healthcare systems across Canada, her work with IMPaCT Trials mentoring researchers, and her inspiring role as a Youth Board Member and Youth Ambassador at Take a Pain Check.Register for our in person event here by April 27th: https://forms.gle/tWdabTbta8ZYeieb8Donate to Take a Pain Check Today: https://www.gofundme.com/f/takeapaincDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes.Jenna's socials:Instagram: _missjennak_ LinkedIn: Jenna Kedy Our socials:⁠https://www.takeapaincheck.comhttps://www.instagram.com/takeapaincheck_/ https://www.tiktok.com/@takeapaincheckhttps://ca.linkedin.com/company/take-a-pain-checkhttps://www.youtube.com/@takeapaincheckhttps://www.facebook.com/TakeaPainCheckhttps://www.x.com/takeapaincheck
