Hi Dawnmha
Welcome to SR
I know what you mean about not having on your medical file - but really, whats more important Dawn - that on your file, or getting the best care possible through a pretty rough time?
See your doctor - it's worth any discomfort or embarassment.
When I detoxed a couple of years ago I didn't seek help and I wish I had now.
Its the sensible way to go.
Here a link to other peoples experience with detox here - it's pretty full on reading but there are some useful things in it
