Are there any symptom-management techniques* that you wish you'd known about much earlier because they're really helpful for you and there are few barriers to trying them?
*for any type of symptom, not picky here!

As somebody who has not yet been evaluated for hypermobility but was supposed to start shoulder PT this year, I definitely wish I'd known about KT tape earlier. It really helps keep my grumpy shoulder in place.

Also just salt.
I didn't know about POTS at the time when my POTS was the worst, but I vaguely knew that electrolytes could be magic for my body because of trying the keto diet.

A huge thing I wish I'd known earlier: nobody else is living in my body so their opinions about how I should be eating don't matter.
I found it really hard to have people on one side who believed in strict diets & on the other side saying those diets were quackery.

But following specific restrictive diets has never been with the effort for me long term because I don't think any of them perfectly align with my fickle body.
And elimination diets never gave me helpful info either.
But my diet def matters. Not quackery.
