I agree with sugahorse. If you can somehow write it all down and get it out, then it'll be easier with the tdoc tomorrow.

I find that if I go to the tdoc appt. and I'm nervous then I only get a part of what I want to say out and I forget the rest. Then when the appt. is over I kick myself, saying why didn't I tell her this and that.

I went to see a brand new medical doc 2 weeks ago and I was so nervous I forgot to tell her I had asthma until I was 1/2 way out the door. I didn't have a script, and although I did bring all my meds in a bag, my asthma meds were in my purse, not the bag.

I don't like to write things down (a lot of other people do). I like to use my word processor on my computer (I use Word). Then I can just type away and read it over and if I forget something just edit and stick it in without having to worry about messing up the page like you would with handwritten stuff. It's sooo much easier to edit on the computer. That's just me. Then when I'm done I save the file in case I think of something later that night or in the morning that's important. After the appt. I just erase the file.

Some people don't saving stuff on computers, would rather write on paper, so whatever suits you best.
