I have found that you really must educate yourself as to your condition and ask questions, be involved and most of all, be clear as to what your expectations are. Partner with your team. It is your body and you know when changes occur. Not everyone responds the same to treatments and not everyone has the same symptoms. You are the source of information for your Drs. and patient care professionals.
