When it comes to relocating, I think the most important first steps should be to ask for a transfer or copy of your medical records and all other health related info they have on file, to help make the transition between doctors as smooth as possible.

Then, the best approach in my opinion, is to discuss up front and honestly what has or hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will hear you out if you approach them in this manner. But I believe a lot of patients don't get the medication they need because they are approaching the doctor in such a needy way that they are being viewed as addicts or junkies with "drug seeking behavior" and not regular patients. So as awkward as that may seem, it is something to consider and be made aware of, because sadly enough that is how many close-minded doctors tend to think.

P.S. - California is in quite a drought right now if you're looking for some place hot and dry. Although I'm sure Reno's climate would suffice as well :0 lol.

Hope this helps!
