Askme comment: answers your doctors need to decipher mystery symptoms June 1, 2012 10:51 PM Subscribe
Looking for an AskMetafilter comment that listed recommended questions the OP should think about for an upcoming doctor's appointment.
An AskMefi question about unusual, vague, and intermittent set of symptoms (can't remember what exactly now) led to a thoughtful response with a list of questions -- sort of like "here's what your doctor needs to know to help you", and included recommendations such as writing the duration and intensity of symptoms, etc. Anyone recall this? I thought it was a sensible way to organize ones thoughts before heading in to a physicians office. Thanks!

Pretty close (and still helpful!)... The one I'm thinking of was more symptoms based, specifically listing 5 or so questions, that help you describe track and organize a constellation of symptoms to describe to a doc, np, etc

How about these questions Ausamor was taught to ask when preparing a medical history?
