Preparing for a consultation with your neurologist can be extremely beneficial for you and the doctor. It is important to write down your symptoms and other health information, such as medications, allergies, illnesses from the past, and the family medical history of disease. Additionally, create a list of questions you have in mind that you’d like answered by the neurologist during the visit. Requesting your previous test results to be sent or bringing them along yourself is also necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment. To ensure that no detail goes unnoticed, bringing someone else with you who can take notes while listening to what the doctor has to say is immensely helpful. Most importantly, make sure that all your questions are answered before leaving the appointment so that you fully understand both the diagnosis and treatment plan plus any further steps needed.
