Hey there,
Thank you for being here. When trying to manage a chronic condition, many factors can make or break your progress. You may even feel demotivated when you feel you don’t have a say in your own care plan. This does not have to be the case.
Over the years, we’ve developed a simple process for you when first learning how to advocate for yourselves.
Taking control of your treatment plan may be daunting for you because you feel you may not feel equipped to speak confidently about your condition to your care providers. That’s okay. A lot of people don’t. Taking charge of your health doesn’t mean you make all your decisions alone. It can mean understanding your tracked data and using that data to start a conversation. Be it with your care provider, or even family members.
In the next week, we’d like to challenge you to experiment and learn one new thing about yourself. This could be as simple as seeing what happens when you take your medication at a consistent time as directed by your doctor. Do you experience a difference in your symptoms? It’s time to track and find out!
