How to get doctors to take you seriously (lupus edition)

Transcript

These are phrases that make doctors take Lupus seriously, and you should use them at your next appointment. First, these are affecting my daily functioning. Doctors assess severity based on how much it affects your ability to work, to sleep, to move. Second, I've already tried XYZ and it didn't help. Generally, you've already tried helps doctors rule things out, and it also helps them know what to do next. Third, I brought a summary of everything that's been happening over the past X weeks. Appointments are usually 15 minutes at best, so having a very clear and concise report helps get doctors the full picture quick. This is why we're building Juno, which is a personal health advocate. Just text it all your symptoms like you're messaging a friend. It automatically tracks all of it and spots patterns. Juno also helps you structure what to say, and it creates a PDF report that you can take to your appointments. Download it and you can join a community of over 100,000 warriors who are experiencing the same things as you.
