Your first consultation is an opportunity to explain your symptoms, review your medical history, and discuss your goals with Dr. Deena Kuruvilla. Preparing a few details beforehand helps us make the most of your visit.
A diary can help you describe patterns more accurately. Record the date, duration, symptoms, effect on daily activities, and any medication you used. You can also note sleep, meals, menstrual timing, stress, or other factors you think may be relevant.
Bring your notes to the appointment. A diary supports your evaluation; it does not diagnose a condition or establish that a particular factor caused your symptoms. Do not change prescribed treatment based on a diary without discussing it with your clinician.
