@acid2come I advise everyone to keep notes on what their symptoms are... a diary. Notating what symptoms you are having what you ate or did before and during symptoms.. it can be very helpful. Also get copies of your medical records.. especially tests and procedures and read them. That way you can understand better what the doctors are telling you and you can up with questions of concerns you have. Take a notebook to your doctor visits with questions written down so you will not forget and if you can bring someone with you... two sets of ears are better than one... most of the time... but especially for me because some days my hearing is whacky or my mind is not right from lack of sleep. Make notes of the visit. Mayo has an app and they post the doctor's or NP's notes on there.

Best wishes for you upcoming appointments.
