Strive to Be a Good Patient

It’s important to take the lead in your journey, while also following your doctor-advised medical treatment. Being compliant with your prescribed medication is very important to your health. If you don’t understand something that your doctor is talking about, ask them to clarify or simplify what they mean.

Make the Most of Your Doctor’s Appointment

You often get less than an hour to recap months, so make sure you don’t miss anything. Take notes during your doctor’s appointments, as well as throughout your journey so you can have a detailed account of how you’re doing. When your doctor asks how you’re doing, it can be so easy to just say “I’m fine” and downplay everything you’ve been going through. However, showing your doctor the full story will help them make a care plan that fits your needs.

Stay Educated

Get up-to-date and trustworthy information about your treatments and their effects, news in the world of lupus, and overlapping diseases. Reliable knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health. The LFA, GOC is your local source that can provide you with educational programming. Reach out to the office to learn more!
