I went my GP because I knew I was symptomatic for a UTI. For years I would go, tell my Dr. My symptoms (which he would type into his lap top), give him a sample, and he ALWAYS would write out a script (in his case email a script to my pharmacy) Then in 2-3 days I would find out if the cipro he prescribed was sensitive to my UTI or order a different antibiotic.
This time he said he wasn't going to write a script for cipro because he thinks "... it's only acting like a placebo." Well, I went home and am taking some cipro I have left over that I keep. He also wanted me to get a colonoscopy. I said "Nope, never." And handed him a pamphlet about AD and informed him that I have had a stroke from AD in the 1980's I said "Why don't we try a less invasive way of testing?" So, he prescribed an ultrasound of my intestines, and did blood work which is available right in his office. I went in fastened because I didn't feel well.
