This is totally NOT quilting related and I don't know if Mods want to move it....BUT..............(this is long -- sorry)

I had to change doctors this last year because my usual doctor's clinic didn't sign on with my insurance company. I started seeing a woman in a clinic 25 miles from us....my DH sees a male doctor at the same clinic. This female doctor has caused me much anxiety! First she rags on me about my weight...I'm 40 # overweight. In spite of the fact that ALL my blood tests are normal.... Eat your heart out - trigliserides are 60 ( norm is below 200) and cholest (124)....SOOOO she still rags on me! I was losing about 4-10 # a month before I started going to her and now I'm gaining. I finally figured out - she reminds me of my mother!!!!! Lord, I'm 60 yrs old and still feeling the old anxieties.

Now -- the other thing....I take meds for arthritis. I was put on 100 mg, taken 2 x a day -- about 4 yrs ago. I have been doing just great on this! Well, last time I needed a refill, I got 50 mg 2x a day. I called to ask if she made a mistake or if pharmacy made a mistake. She said she'd reduced it, she felt I was taking too much. Without telling me!!! So she said to take them for a month and see how I do....well, I don't do well on that. So I called, told the nurse and she said okay she'd order stronger dose. Well, I got the new prescrip the other day......100 mg to be taken 1 time a day!!!! I'm fed up with their office! This isn't the first time....my meds for high blood pressure was a battle to get the right amount. And my prescrip for asthma meds was to be a years prescrip to be distributed 3 months at a time....they ordered it 1 at a time. That ruled out traveling!!!!! She fixed it but it seems every med causes me to have to battle to get it.

Do you all think I have a good enough reason to call and ask to change over to my husband's doctor?????
