All I can say is WOW - I finally have a doctor who cares and acknowledges me as human being who needs some help.

I had a doctor's appointment this morning with my new GP (third visit). This is actually the first time I have come out of a doctor's office smiling. My new GP actually told me that he cares and will try to find me relief for my pain and other symptoms and that I can talk to him anytime. He didn't limit my visit to one issue only as the previous GP had done. He signed my E.I. Sick Benefit form today and told me I could go in tomorrow to get the completed CPP Disability forms and apologized for being so bogged down that he didn't have them ready for me today as well.

I`ve seen too many bad doctors and i also have managed to find a good GP who we now have as our family doctor.At our practice there are 7 GPs and only 3 doctors that i would trust but only 2 of them have any bed side manner.I`m really pleased for you as i know only too well how it feels to be treated like a piece of meat with no feelings ,so goodluck and i wish you all the best.

That sounds great! Honestly, I still have no clue who my doctor is. I mean, if I have any questions, I have to call my nurse, and she doesn't know anything, so, I'm glad to hear that there are some good dovtors out there.-Lisa

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
