questions to ask llmd

usually regardless of my plan at the llmd I get there and the fog rolls in. We make progress but never seem solid answers to my questions.

This time I plan on having a top 3 (think I heard this is a good idea) list of questions.


What is our long term plan for lymes treatment and getting my immune to fight it properly going forward?

How can you be sure our plan treats possible co-infections?

How can we craft my diet to reduce massive pill doses daily and assist treatment?


any suggestions or comments appreciated
my appointment is next wed

I know how you feel about the brain fog! My mom and husband think I'm crazy because i'll forget to mention serious symptoms sometimes, but the problem is we deal with so many serious symptoms, it's difficult to keep up with it all!

Also, for me, it changes from day to day. My back pain could be concerning one day, but then the next day something else comes along and makes me forget what even happened yesterday!

I think your top 3 sound like a great start, but I wouldn't stop at 3 if you have more concerns. Make those your top 3, but write them all down. Hopefully once you and your doctor address the first 3, he/she will be kind and patient enough to hear you out.

I've heard the same thing about naming the top 3 concerns at an appointment, but that person didn't have Lyme disease! We have a lot of valid concerns and you have every right to insist that your doctor address them all. Easier said than done, I know, but its worth a shot.

Good luck, and please post after your appointment with an update!

As far as which symptoms you need to talk to your doc about, why not keep a symptom journal? Then you'll know which symptoms that you need to talk about and which ones are on their way out!

There are lots of options out there. I found one that's all online - tbijournal.com/
***I have nothing to do with this site - it's just one that I use from time to time.***

It's free, and all you have to do is sign up and get started tracking your symptoms, meds, charts, and more.
