As you try different treatment options, remember that if something doesn't work the way you thought it would, think about other options. Talk with your healthcare team to find what will work for you.
Take an active role in your treatment and keep watching your symptoms. If your symptoms change or you have a new symptom, you can make a note of what it felt like, the date, time, and what you were doing when you noticed the change.
