I am pretty sure I am peri-menopause and/or have an under-active thyroid.
I have printed out checklists of all my symptoms to take to my doctor.
When asked "So, what can I do for you today?" I usually say " Oh, I'm fine, just wondering if............?"
I always downplay symptoms or completely forget to mention things that are probably relevant.
I go away feeling that the gp could have 'done more'
So, is taking a printed list of symptoms helpful, or does it just make the gp think that you are trying to do his job?

Did taking a list of symptoms to your gp make any difference??
