How about a group effort to put together a list of things that a SOMer might be likely to address in a visit with their doctor?
 
What do you think are important areas to cover in a doctor visit?
 
How your symptoms manifest?
 
Work issues
Family issues
Activities
     sports
     hobbies
     cooking
     home crafts
     yard work
     reading
     birdwatching
     rock climbing
     well, you get the idea!
Pain and discomfort
Tripping, stumbling, falling down  Help!  I can't get up!!!!
Driving
Travel
 
The list goes on and on, and it needs your input to create a list of all of the possible things that we need to discuss with our doctors if they are going to be able to help us.
 
We don't have any minimun posting guidelines, and while I am not going to begin now, I really, really hope that everyone will pop in here and share their ideas for this list.
 
We will give it sufficient time to develop, and members are welcome to use the information as they see fit.  When we think that we have covered as much as possible, I will convert all of your ideas into a page that will be part of our info base.
 
Let's have at it!
