Honest detail: Be careful to avoid overly descriptive (/melodramatic) adjectives, but describe the timing of symptoms, the nature, spectrum and intensity of them. What you have tried (or Drs have tried) to improve your symptoms, and what works / what does not. In general, the Dr. will listen to you, just should not shut you down early with a pre-determination.
