What to bring to first appointment?

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

So tomorrow I'm getting a second opinion with a major rheumatology office (U of M). I'm not sure what to bring, my blood labs aren't in their system as I don't usually go to U of M. Should I bring past blood lab results or not bother? What are other things I might want to bring?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, bring labs, a list of your meds/dosages, a list of all the lupus symptoms that you have had and a list of questions you might have. Also let the doctor know if you need refills and make sure to give the nurse your pharmacy number, fax # and location. I pray that your first visit goes well. Blessing!
