It sounds like they are familiar with the options. What a concept!
Maybe write down what treaments you have tried and what has or has not worked for you. This includes meds and any negative reactions. Don't write a book, just a shorthand list.
Take notes while you are there if needed. Ask where the doc thinks you should start and lay out any ground rules you have. I told my PM right off the bat what I did not want so we were both clear and he was totally respectful of that.
Good luck! Let us know what happens!

Thank you Littlepaw for your feedback. Fortunately I'm thinking clearer today, so I will be compiling a list of ground rules tonight along with all the meds that haven't worked or have done more harm than good. Thanks for the prompts

I am pretty sure EVERYONE on here has been let down by "specialists" who don't think out of their small boxes, but I am trying to stay positive regardless of the past experiences I've had. I am so grateful for the support from this forum. I will update for sure.
