Oxygen Therapy in Public and the Quiet Social Reality of Living with Sarcoidosis

Wearing oxygen in public with sarcoidosis changes more than breathing. It changes the way people look at you, the way they try not to look at you, and the quiet assumptions they carry about what chronic illness is supposed to look like. In elevators, stores, and ordinary public spaces, those silent reactions tell their own story. This episode explores oxygen therapy, visible illness, social discomfort, and the strange gap between expectation and reality. It is about being seen, being misread, and learning that sometimes the hardest part of chronic illness is not the symptom itself, but what happens when the world suddenly notices it.This podcast is narrated using an AI voice.
