Time and thought...
going to a new physician with all that history you have, test history, etc, is difficult.
I'd make the visit short... Don't dress up or put make up on. Look sick if you feel sick. Look weak if you feel weak.
I'd quietly say something like: "I have a longstanding, exhausting, serious set of problems. I will leave this data with you to study. I need help, relief, and I know it is complex. " I'll come back for a second visit after you look over my case, if that would be helpful.
Give the doctor time to think about you. Keep any first impressions, quiet and subtle.
