[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you can afford it, now may be a good time to join a concierge medical practice--either a general internal medicine one or one in a specialty area that deals with your health concern. I think they make a lot of sense for people with chronic, complex health issues. My joined one, and I accompanied him to all the appointments so I got a good sense of how routine visits in a concierge practice differ from visits with non-concierge primary doctors. For one thing, they will talk to you for as long as you need, not rush you through the appointment. You will not feel bad about calling with extra questions between appointments. You will be able to get same-day appointments and quick responses to your concerns. Also, if you haven't already, consider starting on anti-anxiety medication. There's no shame in it. [/quote]
