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!
