You should fax or email your list to the doctor prior to your visit and specifically state that you would like to discuss these items. That way the Dr. can, if he/she chooses, to priortize, review and study up on your symptoms b4 you get there. Plus you won't suprise him with your constellation of symptoms. Many Dr's. encourage doing that rather than getting offended by it. You won't know till you try. My doc was amazed that I took the time to do that and really appreciates it. She always has the list at my visit and places it in my file when we're through. I prepare such a list prior to every visit with that doc. Good luck and I hope you get a good doctor.

Kelly,
My fibro meds are Ultracet (tramadol plus acetominiphen) to reduce the pain to an ignorable level, Elavil to help me sleep, and Xanax for general anxiety. Regular mild exercise is also essential for me. But really, nothing helps completely, unfortunately.

Good luck and let me know how things go.

Keep it simple!
