> ...please don't think less of yourself if your doctor and you are not communicating well - it goes both ways.
yeah thats true, I have been wondering what is going on...why am I not being listened to etc...its frustating
>When I first started seeing my p-doc I would have to bring a list of current symptoms with me because I'd get so flustered and overwrought that I'd be sitting there grinning like a moron saying, "I'm much better, thanks!" when in fact the medication I'd taken was making me so confused I was driving and not knowing where I was! Eventually I became more comfortable talking to her inscrutableness and even tease her about it ("you're not going to tell me what you think, are you??"). We have a good relationship now and I'm at ease talking about any subject with her. I'm very lucky.

awww im glad you worked it out, When I started it was soooo serious it drove me nuts and then I changed the dynamics a litle, and I have always thought i had a good relationship with mine too. It always felt good. But then now that I need him ..... hes not available to listen to me. i guess in part becasue of how I removed all seriousness.> What it comes down to is if you don't feel your doctor is listening to you, or that you can't speak plainly with him, he not be the right doctor for you.
yeah thats true :-(
