Also, this isn't really for me to say, but from what you wrote, your PCP doesn't sound like the most compassionate doctor I've ever heard of. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, does she just know you really well and knows that you need a "tough love" approach or something like that? Maybe she is exactly the right doctor for you and you wouldn't want to change her. Otherwise, if it is like it sounds from the way you wrote it, there may be more compassionate, more responsive doctors that could be a better fit for you. Just a thought. But like I said, you are the best judge of what doctor is right for you and maybe this one is an excellent fit. I don't know.

Wishing you all the very, very best!!!!!
