day 15

Day 15:  What would you say to people newly diagnosed with this illness?

• Research
• Make sure you have a doctor that knows their stuff.
• Make sure you are comfortable with telling your doctor anything and everything
• Trust your body and what you are feeling.
• Do not take "no" for an answer - you know you - you know what it is you are experiencing - voice those concerns and get the medical attention you need.
• Find some sort of support group whether it be online or in person.
• Make sure you are eating healthy and not making the condition worse by polluting your insides with junk.   Eat as clean as possible.
• Exercise daily - even if you only go for a 10 minute walk - do it.   
• Pay attention to your body.
• Have labs done at least every 3 months...
