Even with a personalized treatment plan, it’s completely normal for patients to need time to adjust and learn what works best for their body.
Here are 3 common mistakes we see — and simple ways to avoid them:
🕒 1. Not being consistent with timing
Taking doses at different times each day can lead to uneven symptom control. Sticking to the timing recommended in your treatment plan helps keep your relief steady and predictable.
💧 2. Switching formats too quickly
Oils, capsules, and inhaled options work very differently. Some patients move on before giving their current format the proper adjustment period. Staying with one approach long enough allows your care team to make accurate, helpful adjustments.
📝 3. Forgetting to track symptoms
A few quick notes each day, even simple 0–10 ratings, can help you and your healthcare team understand patterns, improvements, and areas where support may be needed.
Avoiding these small mistakes can make a big difference in how smooth and effective your treatment feels.
