Hi,

It depends on what questions you have to ask the DR. The first time I

went to the Rheumy Doc. I didn't know what to ask! Just think of what

you want to know about what you have. I'm sure your DR. will help

answer any questions you might have. I wish you luck!

first visit to a rheumy.

My doctors are usually very detailed in my visits.

If there is something I do not understand at the time,

I ask for clarification and take notes. If you

already have a diagnosis and they suggest a certain

treatment, that is something I usually ask about. I

always keep a diary of my symptoms and any new

symptoms that I have so that I can describe them in

complete detail. Hope this helps:)

Sue...

Thank you so much. I can hardly wait for Tuesday. I have been in so

much pain this weekend. I want to go in as prepared as possible.

Thanks again. Betts
