Here's how to live a long, healthy life with a chronic disease 

  • You must a positive outlook. 
  • Keep in constant contact with your primary healthcare provider and never miss an appointment with your secondary healthcare provider. 
  • Use your medications as prescribed and take your routine tests when necessary 
  • If you notice any new symptom, talk to your doctor about it as soon as possible
