Hello @margottaylor,

After reading your post, I agree with @johnbishop, that your attitude will help you as you seek answers to your complex health condition. As I read your post and saw that you would be seeing a doctor at Mayo I thought you might be interested in a post on Connect about how to approach seeing a new specialist. Here is the link to those suggestions: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/your-tips-on-how-to-get-off-to-the-best-start-with-a-new-specialist/?pg=1#comment-240765. I would be interested in your thoughts about those suggestions.

As John said, I look forward to hearing from you after your November appointment. I hope that you find some of the answers you are looking for!
