>Shellie - I like the fax idea, altho I'm a little wary about the privacy of faxing. I haven't seen my pdoc much - we've communicated mostly by phone, which isn't a great medium for me. I did write him a long letter in advance of one meeting and that certainly was helpful in making sure all my issues got addressed. Maybe I'll do better with the next pdoc. thanks again ksvt
Hi ksvt. I wasn't the spread-sheet person, I think that was Racer. I have the same problem that you mentioned both in therapy and with my pdoc. I can only relate to how I am on any particular day--forget if I felt suicidal two days before. But I don't have the patience to fill out daily forms.

> With my pdoc, I always take notes with me. How I've been feeling, and specific questions about drugs. This week all my questions will have to do with lamictal and breast pain and weight gain. I've already sent her a fax with my issues. It seems to save time to have her know, the questions I want to ask her, both to allow time and in case she wants to look something up before I go. Also, it keeps me on track. I've gotten so efficient with faxes, that when I ask the secretary to leave my podoc a message, she asks me please to send a fax (I mean why should she bother to write anything down, when I do it all).
