[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1859064, member: 100904"] Precisely the reason why we need to do our own research and apply to our own, unique circumstances. It can't help if you don't feel your GP is being helpful, but some of them do not like it when patients want to be in control of their own health. I set out my stall early on when one GP wanted to bully me over statins. She stated that I was definitely going to have a heart attack or stroke if I didn't do as she said. My response was that I know my QRISK score, and that showed I less likely to have a cardiac event than have one, and I had done a cost/ benefit analysis, and so was declining. I then made it clear that I am happy to discuss health issues with them and be advised, but I own my health and I own the decisions I make too. Good luck, whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
