Medical appointments can feel overwhelming – there may be many questions on your mind and not enough time to address everything with your doctor. Preparing a list of questions and concerns ahead of time can help you focus on what matters most to you and ensure you’re actively advocating for your care. To support this process, the Parkinson’s Foundation created a worksheet that offers a step-by-step guide for identifying and prioritizing your top concerns.
Advocating for yourself during appointments can be challenging, and at times, uncomfortable. Speaking up is essential to make sure your top needs are heard and addressed. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Taylor Rush, a Health Psychologist and director of Behavioral Services and Interdisciplinary Programs at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. She shares her recommendations for how to prepare before, during, and after a visit with your Parkinson’s doctor, take a proactive role in managing your care, and access helpful resources to support you throughout your Parkinson’s journey.
