I've just gotten over a nasty bout of food poisoning. I think it was salmonella. I have never been so sick. Ironically I think I contracted the bug upon my return to Norway. The only other thing it could have been was the water in Poland. It's unlikely, and I was specifically told that water was safe.
I've been uploading and organizing photos like crazy. Check the sidebars for new links. Stories are soon to follow.

I've read a bit of your blog, and I think you may be better off changing your doctor. You can do this by ringing HELFO at 8959500, or just do it yourself at https://tjenester.nav.no/minfastlege/innbygger/visloginside.do
(If you do not wish to use the internet for this, it is common to block the internet solution. But you get a lot of useful info on the pages)
I recommend you check the page where they list the available GPs, and show how many patients are on their lists. Obviously, too many patients mean a very busy doctor with long waits.
Although possibly she/he will be popular for a reason.
If you are expecting to use the GP a lot, you may wish to check the office hours (Few patients may just mean that the doctor does not work a full position. And how old the doctor is. A young doctor is far more likly to be fluent in english, and be accessible by email.)
You can change your GP up to once a month.
Also, I'd check the rules on the drugs you are using. Some drugs prices are tax-deductible (keep the reciepts), and some are free if you need more than a certain amount per year. (You get the money refunded. Keep the reciepts again.) Rules vary by the drug and condition, and can be complicated.
If you indeed wanted a drug not commonly available in Norway, what you do is ask to see a specialist, and ask for it on "registeringsfritak" I think the term is. Not a 100 % sure of that word.
