So on the occasion that doctors have said anything confusing to me in the clinic about a diagnosis or how to treat it, I typically ask for further explanation and clarification.
Sometimes they still talk at a high level, and it’s difficult to understand them. So I will kindly attempt to press for answers if we’re still not communicating.
I will eventually, once I get home, log on to various HAE-related resources websites and look up even research from various medical resources.
