Guest guest Posted May 11, 2000 Report Share Posted May 11, 2000 Gillian, Idon't know if my GP's attitude changed after the divorce, it did after I got married. I have a theory that all doctors recieve on completion of their training a quick guide to dealing with female patients (I'm sure a male equivalent exists) age0-2 teething age3-11 growing pains age12-16 puberty/hormones all over the place age16-40 hormones/pregnancy/post natal depression/depression. age40-60 menopause/approaching menopause age60+ old age special note: at any age a woman may be deemed to be hysterical/neurotic/psycotic and making a fuss over nothing Interesting that your Mum had to intervene mine has come along in a threatening capacity on several occaisions and once I took my whole family in, Mum and Dad; which earned me the grand prize of a back X-ray! My GP would rather I shut up and went away, which is fine,(I don't like him any more than he likes me) but from what I read PA is progressive and can cause long term damage; I'm worried as I fully intend to live to 90 with millions of grandchildren etc. and persue a demanding career in the mean time till I can sit in my rocking chair being grumpy. I don't want to waste all this hard work on having a career if I don't get to enjoy being a cantankerous old woman at the end. In short I've got a long time to go and would like to keep as much quality of life as possible. Any one any idea on my chances?
