- Could anything else be causing my symptoms?
- Will I have new symptoms? Will they get worse over time?
- What can I do at home to manage my symptoms?
- What drugs and other treatments do you recommend for me?
- How will I know if the drugs are working?
- What side effects should I expect, and how should I handle them?
- Can exercise or physical therapy help me feel better?

- Are there any local support groups?
