Awesome Idea Debbie! I was so "deer in the headlights" during my meeting, that I forgot half my questions, even the simple ones, and walked away going "what did he say?!"

Take a simple list of your top ten questions. Include your incontinence question.

Take enough paper to write down his replies, and if he is getting ahead of you, ask for the pamphlets that come with the disease. His nurse should have a boat load of stuff you can take home.

Also ALL of the injectable drugs have their PR kits that have note books, book bags, and literature in them. Take a few home. Take them all home! enjoy the freebies!

Dont panic about which drug to chose. Have a frank discussion about it with the MD and get his assurance that if you feel this med is horrible, he will take you off it. Place you onto another choice. Many of us started on one drug, and landed on another. Some of do beautiful on Betaseron, and others of us didnt fair so well. You wont know where YOU land till YOU use it. We will be here to cheerlead you.
