You would not believe the power of advocating for yourself!!
For It is truly life changing.
last year, I had 2 car accidents, causing several injuries and chronic alopecia. I have seen more than 20 treatment providers in the last 8 months!!
Sometimes I feel like all I do is attend doctors’ appointments and hospital visits!
But I’m juggling that while still running a business, training and studying.
The truth is, I cannot emphasize enough the power of advocating for yourself.
Because nobody else will.
Doctors don’t know everything. In fact, every single doctor has knowledge of the type of treatment they can provide and nothing else.
And I hate to say this, but some treatment providers care more about profit than providing adequate treatment with fewer side effects.
So if you don’t like them, change them. If you don’t like one opinion, get another. No, get 10! Imagine having the knowledge one doctor has, but then imagine having the knowledge of 2 or 3 about your particular health concern!
I kid you not, it will improve the quality of your life to seek alternatives to what’s being provided, think outside the box, question what you’re being told, refuse treatments that don’t sit well with you and become your own best advocate.
So that’s enough bout me
Have you had a situation where advocacy in your health changed your life?
