Give your OWN story from scratch -Not what doctors / other people have interpreted it as being.

If you are going to write things down - Write down your thoughts in point form - (don’t write a book) and expand on these as a prompt for yourself.

Avoid the "Oh I forgot to tell you" syndrome -Just as you’re about to leave the consulting room.

Make a FULL list of your medications including natural therapies
This is fundamental and VERY important.
It should include all prescription medications as well as over - the - counter (OTC) medications

Bring ALL your X-rays scans -Even if you think they would be irrelevant.
Leave it to the doc to decide what he wants to see. 
If available bring the original discs which are usually available from the radiologist centre
 

Make a priority list of your problems -Try to ensure that your Doctor has understood all the problems as they affect you as a patient.
Don’t get too bogged down in fine detail 

Give your doctor an idea of trends of change of your problem:

Onset
Precipitating factors
Duration
Progression over the time
Impact on daily life and function.

 Ask Questions - Don’t be scared to ask questions - there is NO such thing as a stupid question...

Ask your doc if he has literature to review on the problem -It is always good to educate yourself regarding the problem
