So, I have some physical issues going on that are kinda, sorta, pretty badly triggering. I know I should probably see a doc about it, but I don't have anyone regular or that I trust. I've gone to a local walk-in clinic for random little things, but this is more... vulnerable. I won't be back in the vicinity of my trusted doctors for at least another 4 months. I'm not sure what to do. I don't really feel comfortable trying to have a conversation with the ARNP I've seen recently at the clinic. I'm not sure she would see me for this, and I don't know how comfortable I am even talking about it. I'm not sure what to do. I get triggered by it several times a day.
If I were to try to see the ARNP about it, I wouldn't even know how to begin to broach the subject of what it is, let alone why it's triggering (and to please not think I'm in need of a trip to the er if I do get triggered by an exam). And then if I need more treatment for it, there's a whole host of other people that would be involved (more disclosure, more vulnerability)... In the past, I have called and spoken to new docs over the phone first, but I don't know if I can do that here or if I would get to see the ARNP or someone else. If I were still seeing the doc I trust, I would probably call her first anyway and see if she could advise over the phone (even though pretty much every time she has said to go in).

So yeah. I don;t know what to do. I have ideas of what I should do, but not anything I can bring up the courage for at the moment. It's not an emergency, so it can wait in terms of that, but it's really uncomfortable. It's been going on all week, and it's wearing me thin. What would you do?
