Thanks guys! nutcracker and Eileen - sorry to hear you are in pain today... i hope you feel better soon! Group Hug

Another thing you may want to do before doctor appointments is write everything down, or type it out on your computer, then make a copy for yourself and your doctor. That way the two of you can go over it together and you won't forget or chicken out!


I actually do this each time - I had a list of everything I wanted to talk about, the articles on IV therapy, and the ER emergency form printed out, but I chickened out on giving them to her... I get so nervous at the doctor Head Banging

I'm getting better though... hopefully I'll get more comfortable with her with each appointment.

I can't say enough times how wonderful you all are! I don't know what I'd do without you guys Smiler

You are so much better at speaking up for yourself at the doctor than you were when you first came to the forum. It's exciting to see someone grow that much. Give yourself time, and you will get better and better at it, just as you said.

Yes, like Nut said - you've really done a good job speaking up for yourself. It takes time and you're doing a wonderful job. Good for you! Let's have some cake!! Birthday Cake Big Grin
