, weve all been there, I look like an idiot half the time I see my gp,what I find helps now is to give them all a list of my symptoms, as soon as I go in, then if I cry and stutter or whatever I tend to do, at least Im armed with that, if its a long list Ill give it in a few days before appointmant,
