Dealing with medical professionals post-diagnosis?

I am still debating the pros and cons of getting an official diagnosis as an adult. 

Main potential downside is that I have some serious physical health issues that I had to fight hard to get tested for, as initially symptoms were dismissed by doctors as "all in the mind".  

How have others who have been diagnosed in adulthood found you have been treated post-diagnosis? Have you noticed doctors treating you differently? 

I have a good relationship with them at present, but I know I am likely to lose my rag completely if I feel I am being fobbed off or treated like an idiot!
