• Make a concise, coherent list
    • Basic timeline
    • What makes them better
    • What makes them worse
  • List of symptoms in order of priority
  • Tell doctor "I know we’re just meeting each other, so you may not have time to answer all my questions and explore all of my symptoms right away, but here is a list of my concerns. I don’t know if they’re all related, but they’ve all shown up in the past [X amount of time] and I’m very concerned about what is causing them and what to do about it.”
  • Take notes during visit
    • Dr's instructions
  • Keep a diary of how I follow those instructions
