thats the trouble with this illness you have to keep going back and forwards to docs ,maybe go back and see another doc ,who maybe more sympathetic

It is sooo important to have a good GP, mine is brilliant. Although we have about 6 GP's in our practise I am very selective about who I see. I wouldn't hesitate to change doctors if ever this sitution changed tho. Hope you sort things out Bean, love Angela x

Where I live now in a large village there is just one practice with 8 docs with two of them just out of med school.It is always difficult to see the same one. Twice when I have been and seen different docs I have walked out at being told that I was just depressed- so annoying. . There isn't any need to put up with docs like that . Now the surgery is on line and i can book an appointment with the one doc I want to.see. It sometimes means waiting a week or even 10days but there is nothing else I can do and when all is said and done even that doc can really only offer some words of sympathy and not a lot of help
