A clinic visit can feel rushed. Writing your questions down before you go makes it easier to get the answers you need.
- Is my lupus active right now? Ask what your latest tests show.
- What is each of my medicines for? Knowing why you take each one helps you keep taking it.
- What should I do if I miss a dose? Every medicine is different.
- Which signs mean I should come back early? Agree on warning signs with your doctor.
- Is there a cheaper version of any of my medicines? A generic may cost much less.
Bring a list
Take a list of every medicine you use, including vitamins and herbal remedies, and how often you take them. A photo of the packets works too.
