Having a timeline ready before the appointment is a great way of preparing. There are so many times that I will forget to ask a question because I didn’t have it written down. I’m glad these tips were helpful for you.

I recently started carrying a timeline of my symptoms with me so that I don’t forget to tell the doctor anything that might be important. I have anxiety about going to doctor appointments, but these tips definitely help.

I too have been guilty of talking myself out of those appointments because other things get in the way. I’m so glad that you found this encouraging!!

I feel like as a mom it’s easy to “reason myself out of” taking care of myself, just because it may be inconvenient. Really appreciate this thoughtful, useful article!

It does seem like the number of checkups we need increase with age!!! Glad you are keeping up with them and that you found my post encouraging 🙂

I have come to the point of resignation about the many health checkups that seem to be necessary since I have attained “a certain age.” I realize that it is a blessing to have the option of having health checkups; but I can remember a time that I dreaded them. Thanks for your encouragement.
