Waiting time to see a doctor

5 Replies

I have heard on the news we are going to have to wait even longer to see our GP. I hope mine realises I could have another 3 illnesses before I see him. Difficult these days being a hypochondriac

I should not laugh at your remark but made me the fact you could imagine another three symptons before your appointment, me to a tee and let's face it just symptons due to anxiety,but how do we stop them.

Difficult to say I have had this problem for years

I have heard someone say that before , about it been difficult to be a hypochondriac now a days & I no what its like to have health anxiety as well , but its good that some where I feel you still have your sense of humor , because with out mine at times I dont no where I would be

We can pr-book appointments , but you have to wait 6 weeks , I always say I might as well just keep pre-booking them as I walk out because I no I will be back again

I understand when we feel there is something wrong , nothing seems to convince us , but over the years I have got better than I was , so it can get better

Once the GP has told me I am alright , I have to work on the fact that she is the medical expert & I am the patient , so she knows better than me , I no its not easy & at the moment something is worrying me because she is actually sending me for a hospital appointment then I can start going into over drive again , but most of the time I control it a lot better than I used to

hello whywhy I think it is something we have to work on. We have to learn to trust people. Sometimes it's not easy
