Trust your body. Listen to your intuition. Listen to your inner voice. Empower yourself to speak up.

Sometimes when it comes to your health, listening to yourself and speaking up is more than advocating for your preferences or goals in care. Sometimes it is critical to your own survival.This is my advice when you feel something is just not right: Trust your body.  Even when your providers, family, or friends dismiss your symptoms or attribute them to something else. Listen to your intuition.  If you do not feel comfortable with the care plan or how you are being guided listen to this inner voice Empower yourself to speak up.  You are your own best advocate. No one else knows you as well as you know yourself. Trust this and find someone who will listen to you. Enlist trusted friends and family to advocate for you. source
