I don't think it is strange at all that you would prefer to find someone who specializes in dealing with microorganisms instead of your GP. I haven't been to a GP for a very long time. I had to recently; so I could get insurance in my new area. I also had to go once again due to sinus problems that I just could not clear up. I was not impressed. I practically had to diagnose myself. He just wrote down what I said that I felt; and then gave me a prescription for antibiotics. I'd really like to find a very good ND in the area. I hope it will be easy for you find someone. Maybe you are living in an area that has choices.
