hi
recently i entered into a relationship which left me feeling slightly overwhelmed; he ask me if he'd be allowed to see my pdoc or rather- i ask him if he'd see my pdoc at the nxt appt.. his mom's schizophrenic n when my sis knew, she hit the roof-- not being aware her own sis is PMI too. I asked for a change in appt to suit his timing--as for me--my part time job's flex--n as a result, my regular doc's not available. So i 'm in a dilemma if i shd see the MO at imh with him on the new date-- n if it serves any purpose in doing so (?), i felt like a fool... thx..
Dear Siewkhim.
It is a good decision to let your boyfriend see your doctor. It will allow him to have a better understanding of your condition. Your doctor will also be able to highlight some coping strategy for both of you as a couple.
Seeing your regular doctor should be the 1st choice, however, if there is no other choice, seeing an MO is also managable as he or she can refer to your medical history and competently answer any of your queries.
