Getting advice from your healthcare provider can definitely make a difference, but don’t forget to keep records of your symptoms and treatments too. I found it helpful to connect with local advocacy groups; they often have great resources and can guide you through the application. It’s rough, but speaking to others who’ve gone through it is super reassuring.
