I am my own best advocate. As an ex special-needs teacher, I always told the parent's "YOU are your child's best advocate and then me." When my own kids were small, I was their best advocate in everything, a job I took very seriously. Now, it's me for me,

When someone believes and trust their doctor 100% without question or involvement. I get concerned. Trust is good, but blind??? When someone asked DH how I was, he said "no Medicines help" (I'm PPMS.) Get better medicine, she replied. He tried to explain there were none. Get a better doctor she said. Like MS is that easy. There is not a pill for everything that ails you. My SIL (Who went through Ovarian Cancer) told me "You go on this journey alone. If you're lucky someone holds your hand sometimes. But you still go on alone."
