    Just what I was going to say too - take a note of things you want to ask, and don't forget to take your current meds with you.
    Best wishes

    Hi Bertyboy
    Glad the apts come through.
    Advice so far is very good, but if poss can you take someone with you to support you and remember things they say which you can't remember.
    Good luck, will think of you
