Questions you might bring to your doctor
You know your own life best. If it helps, here are a few gentle questions some people like to bring to an appointment:
- Are there community groups or resources you would recommend I look into?
- What small, realistic first step would you suggest I start with?
- How often should we revisit how things are going?
- How can I fit rest and recovery into a busy week?
Start with whichever idea feels easiest, and let it settle before adding another. Slow and steady is more than enough.
