[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1388433, member: 17713"] I would suggest writing down a list of things that YOU want to talk about with your wife... and put it on GP table when you go in... my doctor laughed at my once as I had put a note on the side of it that "I know I'm a pain.". My doc laughed and said I was the one with pain, but never a pain to him!! It broke up my list.. I would ask for a double slot... so you get full 20 minutes chat... In instances like this, I got to ask whether your wife has been listed as a carer for you, with your GP. It may make a difference in the help and way forward that you can get... it doesnt mean that she has to get you out of bed, or help with toiletting etc.. it means that she can be included on listening and attending GP apprs etc without it being suggested by GP... but also that she helps with your food or moods or blood testing etc.... Follow this through, makesure you get an appt and try for a double one. [/QUOTE]
