This will cover: Your symptoms including how many episodes, their nature, how long they last/lasted and other details All the medicines taken since your symptoms started (dose, date started and stopped etc.) Relevant aspects of your medical history and your family’s medical history Other relevant aspects of your health If the specialist needs to ask more questions or clarify something, you will be notified by email that you need to log in to your account and answer the queries.
