Feeling Stuck With Your Medical Care?

Feeling Stuck With Your Medical Care?
| by Dr Elena Borrelli

…New Year, new you! …This time it's for real.

So it’s the new year and you feel, well… not so new. Maybe you feel like you're in a rut, or perhaps you have had a condition that you’ve been dealing with for a few years, for example, diabetes, and you just feel like no matter what good determination you have, you just can’t improve the management. Perhaps you are trying to get off of medication and you’ve been unsuccessful. So despite it being a “new year” even though it’s a new year, you are reluctant because it’s not the first time that you’ve tried to make a change. So what do you do when it seems like you need a change in your health? Whether It’s finding a new provider or additional specialist? Or maybe it’s adding an additional regimen of support management to your team, say an extra supplement or maybe an extra treatment program or management or something. Perhaps you have an undiagnosed disorder that accounts for some of your symptoms. These are all potential possibilities. So what are you to do? Well, let us help!
