Hello Jo
I am rather confused why you are seeing rheumy for first time when you have already been diagnosed and also I am not sure what a ROA clinic is
If it's the first visit it would be a good idea to take along a list of symptoms with the worst first, a health history leaving nothing out, a note of tests already done and results unless he already has them and a brief note of close blood relatives chronic health problems. I see you are keeping a pain journal so you'll need to do a summary of that.
Sorry if that's not the sort of answer you are hoping for !
