EP. 10 — Chronic Conditions Across Borders: Managing Long-Term Health When You Keep Moving

If you're managing a chronic condition — diabetes, asthma, a heart condition, a thyroid disorder — moving countries is a fundamentally different challenge than it is for someone in good health. You can't just restart. There's a baseline. There's a treatment history. There's a relationship with a specialist that took years to build.In this episode, James and Claire cover what a complete chronic condition record actually looks like (hint: it's your controlled values, not just your diagnosis), how to re-establish specialist care in a new country when referral pathways take weeks to months, how to bridge the medication supply gap without running out mid-move, what to do when a new doctor wants to start from scratch, and how to handle mental health conditions and therapy continuity across borders.Brought to you by PRIVAWELL — store your letters, test results, imaging reports, and medication history in one place, ready to share with any doctor, anywhere. privawell.net
