By giving a typed copy to your doctor it becomes a part of your medical file. Doctors and nurses have told me how much they appreciated the list.This is your own personal journey and I hope we can help smooth out the rough spots. Much love and hugs to you both.
Every time I see my doctor he asks what meds I am on, it is there in the file and on the computer screen, but he knows I can supply the information more quickly than looking it up. Also remember to tell your dentist abouit Abby's meds, especilaly Pred.
