Anything in particular to ask him???? I have a few questions but I want to make sure that I have all my questions ready.

Any suggestions?

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LYME LITERATE MD APPT.

You might want to retitle your post something like what should I ask my LLMD at my first appointment?

I think you might get more answers to your question that way.

If you'll do a search here, I know I've seen the same question asked before, so you should be able to find some good information that way too.

Good luck!!! [group hug]

Love, Light, & Health,
Jennie

The link above has excellent info.

One thing my partner thought to add to that list (may have been somewhere in that link, but I can't remember):

Remember to ask your new LLMD about the best way to contact him/her with questions. We were surprised to learn that my LLMD prefers faxes - and we get phone calls back every time.

Hope your appointment is productive.

let's see --

1. family history with medical background
2. copies of all tests
3. list of prescriptions
4. allergy listing
5. most important, narrative on when you think you got lyme with symptom listing
6. list of supplements you're taking
7. listing of all doctors you see with telephone numbers, etc., like pcp, gastro, etc.

then keep a listing of those questions for yourself. i had so many i can't remember...

do not look back when the only course is forward
