Welcome Wizard,
Keep at your GP he should oblige you when you say you need something it is his job , But if he does or Did not help you Friday Let him know you may have No choice but to seek help through someone else this will help him realize you are serious..
Part of there problem is he has known you so long they can become complacent, And not think to realize if your asking for help you need it... Take care Wizard and Good Luck ... troubled1
