Lessons learned from a challenging lived experience is a terrible thing to waste…which is why we would NEVER do so! In this episode of the JDD Podcast’s Steroid Stewardship Series, Dr. Adam Friedman speaks with Laney Hanna, a 21-year-old nursing student who has surthrived with atopic dermatitis since infancy. From sharing her personal experience growing up with a chronic inflammatory skin disease, detailing the physical, emotional, and day-to-day challenges that persisted even when the skin appeared clear, to discussing the complexity of long term broken record steroid use (from early reliance on multiple forms of corticosteroids to navigating side effects, growth concerns, and the process of reevaluating treatment choices), the journey of the AD patient comes to life in an unparalleled manner. Join us as Laney offers valuable insight into how patients define “success,” what true partnership in care looks like, and how steroid stewardship can empower more sustainable, person-centered management of atopic dermatitis.
