I would organize your symptoms and make a brief list to take with you. It will help you when discussing your symptoms and keep you on track. I wouldn't hand it over, just keep it with you. Some drs. like it when their patients bring lists. Others do not. Also, bring with you a list of questions that you may have. This will help as well. Is someone going with you?

As of the psychological issues, I wouldn't say much unless asked. Keep in mind that drs. share information especially with referrals. The neuro may already know about your past psychological issues. You may also be "asked" when you fill out the initial paperwork. It is best to be honest about when asked as that is part of your overall health and should medications be prescribed, it then becomes more important.

Take your blood test results in with you. That may be important and at least you will have it on hand should she want to order a test you have recently had done.

Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes.
