To get ready for your appointment with your healthcare provider:

• Write down how you feel, your symptoms, how long you’ve had symptoms, what makes your symptoms better or worse, and any concerns you have. Use a symptom tracker (PDF) or bladder diary (PDF) to help you remember information about your symptoms.
• Make a list of your questions and concerns. When you’re done, mark the things that are most important to you.
• Make a list of the prescription and non-prescription (over-the-counter) medicines you use, including any vitamins, herbs, supplements, creams, and ointments.
• Ask someone you trust to go with you to your appointment. They can help you ask questions, write down instructions, and remember explanations.
• Bring a pen and paper and plan to write notes during the visit. Or you can record the conversation using your phone or an app like the Alberta Health Services My Care Conversations app.​
