What do you tell your GP?

[hoppybird]

I only subscribe to one magazine, at the moment, for sleep.... but I was just curious in reading through the threads in the forum... if something happens and you have to go see your doctor or have surgery do you tell them about everything?  With all the possible interactions do you research it yourself?  Just curious....

It depends on your relationship with the doctor. I wouldn't trust most, but I have a good one, and they know that I'm suffering from a chronic as of yet undiagnosed illness. So, I've told them about a couple of what I take which helps. 

Also, I tend not to use any magazines regularly - and I make this clear. So I can take time out easily. 

If going for surgery, you can tell the surgeon directly just before maybe, or take some time out from those mags.
