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 eighth daily task in the Turtle On 100 Day challenge is to expand your knowledge of primary ciliary dyskinesia. Knowledge will be your biggest asset when dealing with any rare chronic illness. You need to be ready to educate even medical staff at a moment’s notice. Being able to recall and explain PCD knowledge at the drip of the hat will ensure in an emergency situation that you can do so with confidence and accuracy. Accuracy is key to protecting yourself or your PCD loved one from unwanted or unwarranted medical procedures, interventions, and or experiences. Just because someone is a trained licensed medical personnel, that does not ensure that they have accurate and up to date medical information about your specific rare medical condition. It is essential that you maintain your knowledge base of PCD and are not afraid to speak up. Practice sharing your new found knowledge in the PCD support groups with other PCD community members to gain confidence and clarity that you have a firm grasp of PCD as a whole. 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 sixth daily task in the Turtle On 100 Day challenge is to select and practice a new hobby. Having a chronic illness like primary ciliary dyskinesia takes being able to learn and accept new things daily. It’s learning to adapt and go with the flow. PCD can also be stressful and overwhelming to everyone in the family. Learning to do new things and practice them can help ease physical and mental stress. Having a hobby to concentrate in the hard health times of PCD can actually be therapeutic for everyone. Craving out time for yourself and your hobbies will help you see a life beyond PCD. 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 unique healthcare plan. Hydration helps to keep secretion thin to better aid in mobilizing those secretions with airway clearance techniques. Be careful not to overly hydrate as this can induce other medical issues. Please seek hydration advice from your medical care team. Do you have what it takes?
