What can help to ask about at a doctor’s visit?

• Do you have enough information about me and my risks for PN? What should I do if I have more than one type of risk?
• What tests do you recommend I take to find out what’s causing my PN? Why are they important?
• Am I taking drugs that cause PN? If yes, can I have the dose changed or switch to something else?
• Are there any new or experimental drugs that I could use for my PN?
• What non-medical things can I do to help my PN?
• Could I do better on a different HIV regimen?
