I can't really help you here; have never been to a rheumatologist.

But I agree that a list of questions is a good idea, as well as a

list of your symptoms. Goign there with a list of symptoms often

goes better than walking in and saying " I have [insert name of

disease here] " . If your doc can send a letter along with any

thoughts or diagnoses, that would be good too.

I suggest also bringing in your medical records or at least the test

results from everything you've had done. Since some of the tests may

have been done several years back, a new doctor may want to re-run them.
