@theshewolf1, I think that understand what you are saying about trying to get all of your docs on the same page. In a perfect world that would happen without you having to intervene, However in today's world, with all of the complex tests and medical medical records, there can be an overload of medical information to be discussed in a relatively short office visit. That is why the list has served me well. It has even served me well at most of my doctor visits. If you and your endocrinologist are working to remove and to add medications, you might find it helpful to record any related symptoms that you observe. Then share with the endocrinologist next visit.
Another thing that has been a big hit with a cardiologist that I was referred to, was when I took a list of questions that I had written on a piece of paper. When the attending nurse saw them, she asked for them and then gave them to the doctor before he came in to see me. Would you believe that he read them before he came in to see me, and he answered each question for me! He is my choice of a cardiologist if I ever need one!

I really hope that you find some relief from what you are suffering as a result of the head trauma.
Has anyone looked at the list of your medications? Would you consider asking the endocroninologist to take a look to be sure that they are safe to use in combination?

My neurologist took the sheet of paper with my questions and copied it into my medical records. My memory isn’t as good as it used to be but I am sick of others judging me and trying to tell me what to do. My life is a never- ending nightmare on some days but it doesn’t mean I am a child or be talked to like one. I have been independent since 18 so please stop treating me like I am an invalid.
