“At the end of the day, if you aren't resonating or connecting with your healthcare provider, if you don't feel heard, if you don't feel like they are specifically working with you on your symptoms, and on understanding why you're feeling the way that you're feeling, then maybe you need to find another health care provider. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself.”
