Re: [TMIC] New Neurologist

[Heather & Pieter]

I too do the same.  Take a list of my meds and what I amts I take.  Have questions ready to ask.  My appt is only 1/2 hour and I try and get in as many questions as I can and have always got the answers I need.  I have done this since my children were tiny.  Always helped me out then.  They are now 38 and 35 so even with the Neurontin my memory for those kinds of things is still working.  LOL   Heather in Calgary ----- Original Message ----- From: BobbyJim To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Natalie Boyles ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; TMIC List Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 3:14 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] New Neurologist Way ta go, pHranq3e........  go get'em, mate.....!!!          Here as well, we go to the neuro loaded with facts and questions and you should see the difference on how me missus is treated.   Take the advantage and keep it, y'all.   Bobberino, in 90º Elvisland.   But at least not the rain the East Coast is getting, even tho we need SOME of it ....:>)   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]      To: Natalie Boyles ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; TMIC List Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 10:44 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] New Neurologist > But do you, Frank, think that perhaps as a doctor you may get better treatment than some of us? Natalie, Maybe so, also I am very prepared for my encounters with my physicians- partially through the info I receive here from all of you.  I make notes- actually have an "Agenda" for my appointments. I arrive with list of current meds, doses and frequency; have an interval history since last appointment (put together from daily notes of symptoms, problems,etc), have a list of new meds (like Lyrica that I tried after my last appointment), also list of tests that might be done (like liver because of my lipitor).
