In either an act of masochism or a need to find answers, I actually made a phone call that resulted in an appt for a physical on Monday. What tests should I ask for?

 

Also, I am working on a master list of symptoms, but it's hard, help! Am I being repetitive? Should I group more things together? They already think I'm nutso, but I want this info to be on file!

Try looking in List Your Symptoms in the What are you feeling? forum.

There are some really good lists there
