So glad you were listened to! I know how frustrating it is to not be heard in these situations. You write very well about it, and other things too.

ah that's the problem when you "pay for an argument" and they refuse to give you one... it's like leaving you hanging over a cliff... it takes a bit to realize you're perfectly safe and pull yourself up to at least level ground.... glad it all went... well?

What a wonderful twist to the usual GP story (mostly for women at any rate) - I don't think I've ever met one who actually listened and heard and made me believe they believed what I said.

A dream come true. I hope this new medical relationship and your new meds are precisely what the doctor ordered ;) x

Oh I'm so pleased to hear that you had a good experience. Sometimes having to use health services is an exercise in frustration and blind faith. As I get older I find my need to interact more and more frequent, and not always constructive. When it is constructive it feels like Christmas Day.
