Very very rarely, and never the type of lie you told. I think it is important for doctors to have that sort of information to help the public at large. Kind of a data gathering. And, of course how it might help me individually to be honest with my doctor. I don’t worry about them judging me, which it seems you were. I tell them when I am noncompliant with medication and whatever else I might have done.
In fact, I would not say I lie, but once in a very blue moon I exaggerate my symptoms if I feel like I am being dismissed for how I described my symptoms originally. Meaning, if I am not being taken seriously enough. I am not even sure I am exaggerating to be honest. Other people seem to use different descriptive words than I do, even doctors to describe pain, exhaustian, and some other things. I tend to play things down I guess, continue on even when I feel awful. I do try to calculate what is going to be most effective in communicating with my doctor. As I described I used to just state what was wrong, when that wasn’t working, I tried being in more distress, or emotional, or something, anything, to be taken more seriously. it wasn’t made up emotions, I was emotional, but I could also hold it together.
