I am often surprised in a consultation to encounter a patient who has often had to wait quite a while for an appointment and when I ask them a simple question such as, “Tell me about your headaches.” I get a response such as “Well, I haven’t thought about it”. If you can’t describe to the doctor your condition, how is the doctor going to make a good assessment?

Typical information that the doctor would be interested in is the following:

  • When did the headaches start?
  • Please describe a typical attack, when they started, and have they changed?
  • Please ensure that you know the names of all the treatments that you have been given and whether they helped and whether they cause side-effects. If you’re not sure, please talk to your referring doctor to make sure that the information has been included in the referral. Can you imagine how unhelpful it is to hear “I’ve had all kinds of tablets.” or “It was a white one”. This will just end up delaying treatment as I will need to go back to the referring doctor and get that information.
  • Slightly more difficult, please think about what you are trying to get out of the consultation and make sure the doctor understands that. Some patients are focused on finding out the cause. They will almost always be disappointed. Some want a permanent cure with no drugs. That is a great objective but they will often be disappointed too.
  • Some things to think about ideas such as: would a 50% reduction in the frequency of your attacks be worthwhile from your point of view?
