I was examined after being quizzed about my symptoms - it is a GOOD idea to be clear and concise with your background history
EG:_When it started what treatment you had - or not - what issues you have had ie:: pain splitting fusing soreness etc
How you treated it whether anything worked for you - what triggers off the flare up What stress you have in your life whether you also have other autoimmune conditions - (asthma arthitis etc) Whether you are menopausal had changes o your pill or HRT - depending on your age
what the future holds for you - what research has been done re the condition what are the side effects of the steroids
Mention also the Dr Goldsteins webinar - go with the web address in case the consultant isnt aware of it
You dont mention you are and some age related questions will be useful too - if you want to get pregnant for example
Good Luck and chat to your husband about what questions HE wants answered to understand your situation

I met the gyn. in his office for the initial chat then an examination was performed in a seperate room with a what they call a chaperone present at all times. After the examination and back in his office he gave his diagnosis of nearly 100% positive. He then said he wanted to do a biopsy under general anesthetic which occured the following week. A wait of a few weeks took me back to his office for the biopsy report which confirmed LS and also eliminated vin and any malignancy which is quite important and assuring to be told exactly what we were dealing with. Dermovate steroid is the prescribed treatment. I could have been passed back to my GP for follow up checks on my condition bit I requested to attend his clinic for further appointments for which he agreed and I will still be under his care which I feel more confident about that follow up care at my GP's. Keep reading the posts on here as most find it more helpful than GP's orGYN 's.
