First Visit EDS

Posted by callieloveless @callieloveless, 1 day ago

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN JACKSONVILLE COMING UP. I’m a terrible planner and I’m afraid I’m not doing something to prepare for my appointment. Can anyone give me information on a first visit what to expect important information to know important things to bring do I need to do any test before my appointment I’m trying to get the best out of my visit as I have been searching for answers for a long time. Do they already have an idea since I have been excepted or is it possible they will not have answers either. I have appointments scheduled but unable to connect with a team yet. How can I find out if my medication will negatively impact any future tests. TIA

Have you already contacted the clinic by patient portal and phone already?
