Advocating for Self
I have been undergoing testing with my primary doctor since February 2026. After my ablation, I began experiencing symptoms consistent with menopause. Although I was told my levels were “normal,” my body told a different story. Speaking with Dr. Santorufo helped me realize I wasn’t imagining my symptoms, nor was I wrong for advocating for myself. Every physician has a specific focus within their practice, and not all are equipped to fully interpret or articulate the nuances of what a patient may be feeling. Today, I finally felt heard and that brought real relief. Please advocate for your health. No one will do it for you. Seek second opinions, explore different providers or platforms, and don’t hesitate to ask questions. I’m grateful I did.
