Yaaayyyy! I've got my first appointment with a private endo next week!!!

What's best to take with me? Do they need previous test results etc??

Hi, I took my blood results with me and the Doctor did read them and made a copy.

The other thing I did was write a list of my symptoms, brief history of how I have been and also a list of questions I wanted to ask so I didn't forget anything.

I took a good friend too, so if you do forget anything or if you can't remember later what was said your friend can help.

Hope it goes well, I was very pleased with my consultation.

scottishkitty,

As time is so limited (& expensive) , I always email previous test results ahead of my appointment, and keep records short as he probably won't be bothered to wade through pages.

Excellent advice from VP17 above.

Good luck with your appointment.
