The first step
in getting the right treatment is to tell your doctor what's going
on. This information might include:
- Your symptoms
- When they
first started
- When they
occur
- Are they
getting better? Worse?
- What makes
them better? Worse?
- Are they
affecting eating, sleeping, or other activities? How?
- Medicines
you take
Before a treatment decision is made, your doctor
needs to make a diagnosis. Medical tests
are an important way to help your doctor learn about the problem.
It is important to make sure that any tests your doctor suggests are
appropriate for you.
