Before the appointment
- Write down the main concern you want help with and how it affects your day.
- Note when changes started and any pattern you have noticed.
- Bring an up-to-date list of medicines and supplements.
- Bring relevant history and prior results privately to your clinician.
Questions to ask
- What possible explanations should we consider?
- Would a test change what we do next? What can and can't it show?
- What options fit my history, including non-treatment options?
- What benefits, risks and uncertainties should I understand?
- How will we judge whether the plan is helping?
- When should we follow up, and what changes should prompt earlier contact?
