I setup my “My Health” portal for my medical network and was intrigued to find my Neurologist’s notes from my last appointment. I found a summary of what he thinks is causing my muscle weakness and was able to do a little bit of Google-ing to find more information about the specific terms he was using. There is a certain amount of power in knowing the terms and knowing what each set of symptoms is usually caused by. And most importantly, what parts of my treatments I need to focus on as the most important. If you have access to your doctor’s notes, read them. You won’t understand most of it, and that is ok. There is usually a summary of the problem near the bottom of their notes that contains terms to Google and can give you more information to go off of.
