wouldnt it be nice if the doctors paid as much attention to their anxiety patients as they pay to the drug company sales reps

but then these sales reps, who book in and pay as patients are specially chosen to be attractive and interesting, cheerleaders, models etc often do this work part time

in comparison, we poor anxiety sufferers must be boring and a nusiance

I know that feeling Harry.

It would be nice to go to the doctors as a patient rather then having everything firstly put down to your anxiety and lets 'up the meds'.

I remember once I went to a medical centre as it was the weekend and they diagnosed me with an ear infection and gave me a script. I then mentioned I was suffering post natal depression (many years ago) and the dr took the script out of my hand and decided the pain I was feeling was actually just depression then. mad

i agree harry, i have a doc that i have to travel to get to him, and its hard for me to travel, but i go, just because he will sit and listen and spends time with me and always puts up with my crying ;) i wish everyone had a doc that would spend enough time to actually listen. He says i keep him on his toes and its good for him lol im lucky in that. to bad hes just a plain ole d.o. he could make a good therapist i think.

I'm in the same boat, now I just go to the doctor for the script. I've been to numerous doctors looking for a good one and eventually ended up with the cheapest one. I know more about my meds than he does!

My doc is my friend therapist he is everything never have I had a doc like him He is also great with Cait
Will not allow me to be in pain and researches on his time the PG I get

Yep shell he even sits there whilst I do my crying
I know he is gonna be some mad when he gets back :gut problems from crohns and sores breaking out from that stress as well I just dont plain feel Normal and he specifially said that if I needed any help or I got worse while he was away this week I was to see his associate
Well I have tried now 2 mornings in a row and this one sec does not like me I know as she has messed up my IV med faxes in the past and was reprimanded almost fired but she wont give me an appointment told ne to go to ER
