Whoops, i forgot to tell the dr that i have problems with my feet, should i eait to tell the rheumatologist?

Whichever you see first If you have an upcoming appointment with the Rheumatologist then advise them, they'll forward a letter on to your GP. Last time I visited the Rheumy, I asked to be copied in on the correspondence. Saw everything she wrote - quite informative. Just as well I got a copy as when I went to the GP about 3 months later, they had never received the letter. In fact they thought I was still on a waiting list.

Ok, i think im seeing the rheumy befor dr, but it depends if anything else comes up... wow thats unorganised! Luckily so far at the local dr surgery, there are many dr s but i have been lucky enough to be with the same one every time. She remembered me aswell which saved having to explain it all again!! How are you? All the best,

Keep a diary or a notebook to jot things down as you think of them. Take your list with you to your appointments so you can remind yourself of the things you need to discuss with your doctors. That's what I have been doing for ages as my memory is rubbish. My doctors know what I'm like and gladly accept my notes and work through everything with me when I visit. I am lucky to have a wonderful GP and Rheumy.
