Erin McGreehan is a 43-year-old TD who has battled a chronic condition for decades. She says Irish women have been let down by the health system and should not be living in silence. At 27 she experienced what she calls "an episode" at work, describing overwhelming pain. She completed her shift despite the pain, then returned home and spent the rest of the day bedridden. Her experience demonstrates how long-term illness can disrupt work and daily life and underscores calls for better recognition, support, and care for women affected by chronic health conditions.
