Re: good doctor

Hi,

I am in Canberra. Originally I was put on to Mexitil by a neurologist but after moving to Canberra, I simply informed my GP that I needed a prescription for Mexitil. Since then a couple of GPs have prescribed it for me. They look it up and have no issue. Of course, none of them understand MC, but who does. Only a neurologist would.

Unfortunately I no longer take Mexitil because the side effects far outweighed the benefits. It turns out I am in the small percentage of people who have high sensitivity to all medications.

Good luck,

Jill

Re: good doctor

I think the point here is... do the contraindications outweigh the potential benefits ?


So, I guess the question remains... What is a good doctor ?
