Hi Serira,
I just saw a new Nurse Practitioner yesterday, and I was really nervous, but found her delightful. My nervousness had more to do with not being able to remember all of the things I wanted to ask, and being able to express what was really going on with me.
What I did was 1) Make a list of all of my meds (even the ones that you are taking for different physical reasons)
2) Made a list of all of my physical problems, and surgeries etc.
3) Made a list of all of the psychological , more distressing problems I am facing right now.
It all went really smoothly, because I had it all there, and we touched on everything;
That took some of the anxiety out, and gave the Nurse Practitioner, a better overall view as to what is going on.....and I was less anxious, and the appointment went well
I do better if I make lists rather then having to remember everything when I'm nervous already KWIM?
Just some of my thoughts...
It's the Dance of Life that makes us whole. When you get the chance.....Dance
