I am very fortunate, my brother is in pharmaceutical sales and sent me the information on a treatment that he thought would work to calm my MS. I approached my neurologist with the information, and was his first patient that this infusion was administered to.

Hello everyone,
How are you doing today?
We listen to our our doctors' diagnosis and treatment recommendations, after all, they have over a decade of schooling and it is their profession. However, who knows your body better than you? Sometimes you have to fight for more tests, second opinions, or different medication.
How do you stand up for yourself and your body against physicians and care providers?How did you do it? Did you keep your doctor or find new?
Patient advocacy is important. Share your stories about when you stood up for yourself.
Take care,
Lizzi from the Carenity team
