Excellent idea - we do this also. The nurses love to have a printed out med sheet. Also, put down any allergies you may have. Janice

Also, the vitamins and supplements that you may be taking. I keep an Excel spreadsheet so that I can change dosages and add or delete meds as needed. I also list the dates of start/end, plus the Dr. info. This is much easier as I have found that on every visit, the questionaire asks for "current" meds. This way, I print the list before the visit and just say "See attached". Much Much easier! Candy K. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Cooley" <patticoole...@gmail.com> To: "Rev.

SINCE I MOVED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I WILL NEED TO CONNECT WITH A NEW PCP, NEUROLOGIST, AND UROLOGIST VERY SOON. SINCE THIS IS A SMALL TOWN, I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD NOT BE AWARE OF TM. I PRINTED IT OFF AND WILL BE SURE TO TAKE WITH ME AT MY FIRST APPOINTMENT. THANKS AGAIN. PATTI - WISCONSIN From: Rev.

I find it helpful to give any physician or PA or NP that is my primary care provider since 90% of them have no idea what TM is, and it seems many don’t want to take the time to find out about it as well. What is even more aggravating is that my new neurologist (the only one within three hours travel) has no experience with it either. So she’ll get a copy as well. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/transversemyelitis Rev. Craig Crossman First Baptist Church 615 W.
