#Sponsored I have three rules when it comes to man

#Sponsored I have three rules when it comes to managing my MS: Be informed. Control what I can. Adapt to what I can’t.

The most important decision-maker on my healthcare team is me. Capital A, Ardra. When it comes to treatment options my doctor can point me in the right direction, but it’s up to me to communicate how I feel about efficacy, side-effects, or how a medication is taken.

I’ve had MS for 20 years and I’ve changed treatments more than once to better align with what matters to me. It happens, and you have the right to consider all options and change course if needed. The management of MS is constantly evolving, and staying up to date gives me the confidence to know that I’m getting the care that’s right for me.

MyRules.ca has a downloadable Treatment Discussion Guide. It’s a short quiz that asks the Qs that help clarify treatment goals and lifestyle priorities. It’s worth considering whether you’re newly diagnosed or any time you suspect your meds might no longer be right for you.

Check out the link in bio to visit MyRules.ca and download the Guide today! #MyRules

I was thrilled that her makeover included a spoons-saving Rollator glow-up. Thank you @byacre 🤩
