If your doctor can't or won't take the time to listen to your fears, maybe you could go see someone or even call one of those phone hotlines they have for just about anything. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone over the phone, it's a little more anonymous. I have been lucky I think, in that I have never had any doctor tell me that I was imagining things. But I have on occasion not had a couple of them listen to me when I was having a problem. They made light of it, telling me the problem was not as bad as I thought, but both times it turned out to be, and as a result anytime I tell them someting, they listen.
