Reply #12: I have found that going to a practice that has either a Nurse Practitioner [View All]

[Minimus]

or Physician's Assistant has always worked best for me. They can write prescriptions and apparently can do everything a GP does, just under the supervision of a GP.

At the doctor's office I use now I always ask for an appointment with the Nurse Practitioner. She never rushes me, is very attentive, spends way more time with me than the doctor ever has. She always calls me back when I leave messages and she even calls after appointments to ask how I am doing.

Good luck and Take care of yourself! I know how you feel, I've had doctors thinking I was a hypochondriac too. After years and years of all kinds of problems a Nurse Practitioner finally headed me in the right direction and it was finally figured out that I have some autoimmune disorders that were causing my problems.
