A member asked:
Do md's consider hypochondriacs a pain in the butt they would rather not see or are they ok with the worries and questions?

Depends on the doc: When looking for a doctor, tell him/her that you worry excessively about physical symptoms. Ask if you can have regularly scheduled visits to have reassurance about physical symptoms. If the doctor isn't willing, find one that is.

That depends: I know at least some physicians who become frustrated with working with the worried well.
