What's the most powerful thing a patient can do? Really, it's probably 100 things, but I think one of the most critical things when you're a patient, especially if you have chronic illness, is staying engaged and keeping communication open. Staying engaged means that you're not a passive member of the treatment team. It is your body that's being treated, but you are in control of a lot of that. So you're engaged with making sure these are the right things for you, but also monitoring how they go and then reflecting that back with your provider through communication. So really staying engaged and reflecting back, probably the best things you can do as a patient.
