Like Dot said. Be truthful #1. For me this meant to not take any pain meds for about three days prior to my C&P. Then I was able to present a true picture of my conditions.

I would bring everything you can. I printed out internet articles of research that showed Sleep apnea had a causal relationship to solvent exposure. The C&P dr quoted my article and said it was at least as likely as not that my sleep apnea was related to service. I didn't really need his opinion because I had submitted an IMO stating the same but it was icing on the cake. I still don't have a decision yet.
