Talking to your doctor

Preparation is the key to having a productive conversation with your LEMS physician. You’ll want to start taking notes about how you’re feeling so that you can provide input to the doctor during your office visit. Your physician knows best when it comes to LEMS diagnosis and treatment, but when it comes to your symptoms, you are the expert! Your notes don’t need to be lengthy but should provide enough detail to give your doctor a clear picture of what’s going on.

Be sure to include:

• Specific information about your symptoms and how they affect your daily activities
• A timeline of your illness: when symptoms first appeared, how they progressed, and whether they’ve fluctuated, gotten better, or gotten worse
• Details about previous treatments you’ve received or used, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter remedies, and any physical therapy or rehab
• A list of any questions you have. It’s easy to forget your questions for the doctor when you’re in the exam room. Make a list and carry it with you into the exam—that way, you won’t forget to get the answers you’re looking for
