    Rennet that everything you say to a doctor is confidential, don't be ashamed all the doctors I've had to explain my situation to have been very helpful and understanding. To be honest if rather talk to a doctor than anyone else becomes at least I know it will go no further

    I know how it seems.. It is just like a nesexxary evil. In order to get treatment u need to tell UR doc.

     The judgment u fear should never get in the way. UR doc will be ther to help u thru this. Imagine how many people he has had to tell and treat over his years in practice. He may even have it. 1 in 6 between the age of 14 - 49 have it. It's more common than u could imagine. 

    Take a deep breath it will be what it will be. 

    CHEERS

    Thank you both for the advice. .. this let's you know that you are not alone in your fight,and other people's perspective who are dealing with the same struggle helps a lot. When you feel in the inside people who don't have it wont understand or be completely negative and betray your trust I appreciate the advice. And it was real helpful. ... Thank you (God bless )

    yes Nelly123 is correct it is confidential, and you should never be ashamed, take your wife with you if you are affraid in the first instance let her tell your doctor whilst you are there, i am absolutely sure the doctor will be pationate about your situation, my partner travelled over an hour and half back to his old doctor to get his medication befor he told me, and that answered why he would not register with our new doctors, but now he is fine, its al about being possative and that is what all of our lives are about no matter what we are faced with, i will walk into my doctors with my partner at any time if he wanted me to.  i had to go to the doctors once and he was a member of where i worked with my own buisness and then i served him and at work but we all have our jobs to do and never once did he make me feel omg i just want to hide, you can do it he/she will prob give you a 2 yr supply of medication anyway, thinking of you
