My first of many questions...

[Guest guest]

So a week has passed since my diagnosis... and I'm starting to get my head

around it, I suppose that be because I've lived with it for 9 years! and its

actually a relief to have a confirmed diagnosis, my ms one was always a little

shady.

My first question is about doctors. At the end of the year my family is moving

" up the country " a 3 hour drive from the capital city (currently I'm 45 minutes

from it). I don't know if I mentioned - I'm from Australia.

I will need to return to see my opthalmologist (as there are very few uveitis

specialists) and I will probably need to return to see my neurologist - as there

are none in the country hospital!

I know the timing couldn't be worse, but when would a good time be?!? and I

think the change/ less stress/ less pollution will actually be good for my

health.

So my question (i'm getting there!) is has anyone else made a big move. How did

you go finding a new GP (I think you call them PCP's) over there, and all the

little things that go with it. Is it okay to " Shop around " and interview every

doctor in a clinic.I'd appreciate any tips or advice.
