place -
yep ... i just thought maybe he thought i was a bit of a hypochondriac. i mean also cos i've studied psyc and i do know a lil about it - maybe he saw it as self diagnosing.
the first doctor i went to was great (at the same medical practice but she was on holiday this week - i soo wish i'd waited to see someone now) she didn't patronise me at all because i know a bit of the pharma cology etc.
i am really reconsidering now and thinking about taking your advice, although i may just wait n see how this one goes - if it works well i'll know and hopefully won't have to see doctor too much ...
the weight thing, i tend to gain and lose weight very easily cos of my body shape/type, and that's the only reason i am worried - i always feel better when i'm thinner of course

i don't need to lose any just don't want to gain any either. any tricks anyone knows?
thank you again for chatting like this.
