- Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Was asked if I had any questions mind was blank couldn't think of any, kicked myself afterwards. Didn't even ask why he suspected I had it?
Hi Maggie I have done that a few times and its very annoying and can seem like a wasted appointment cant it.
What I do now whenever I have an any appointment is, I write down any questions I have before the appointment and as I think of more I add them to the list, then on the day of the appointment when I am asked if I have any questions I simply read them off my list.
It can also help to take your partner, a family member or friend with you that knows your condition not just for moral support but that way there are two of you to remember questions and also to remember what was said and explained to you during the appointment as its easy to 'zone in' on one thing the consultant says and miss something else when you are on your own.
