I feel so bad because I have another appt to see the doc and only had one 2 weeks ago and then 2 weeks before that.... I do feel such a hypochondriac but am so worried about my symptoms..... Does anyone else visit the docs a lot?

I do hun. Not so much at the moment because im being sent for tests at hospital so i kno nothing else can be done at docs. I used to go all the time for one reason or another then another 2 weeks later id be there again. what symptoms u having? xx
I have been this week and i went last week and the week before.I feel so ill i feel i have to go and i dont care what they think.I had my bloods took yesterday and a stool sample sent off.I go through phases of feeling ok and dont go for a few months and then i go every week when i am not well.
hi i go to drs nearly every week if i am worried about something i think it is best to get it checked so you can stop worrying i would go every day if i could just to check things are ok dont worry about it i am sure your dr understands xx

I feel better that I'm not the only one with my own seat in the waiting room! Actuaslly, my friend who's a nurse says in the med profession they prefer people to get things checked rather than going when things have got far too serious.....

I think we would all like a seat with our name on it I know I would !!!!. If I cannot get in to see the doctor Igo for the next best thing and get a telephone consultation!! Just to hear his reassuring voice and I can have a good blub:wacko: sad really but that kept me going for the past 6 months.

nb Have you got the surgery number on speed dial??:yesyes:
hey, one week i was in the doctors 3 days out of 5.....i think i beat you all :P
I think about going everyday. I think what I will tell her, how I will describe my symptoms. How I will word things to make it look like I have not been searching the internet most of my adult life looking for unlikely things wrong with me. I worry that she will dismiss my fears or that she will actually be concerned. When I go I parse every word she says I look for things that aren't there and I analyze everything she said. Basically, I would love to have my own doctor.
Please dont worry I go to the doctors 3 times a week with anxiety and health anxiety related illness. They are reasonably good
Hi,
I don't go at all these days, although I do get a repeat prescription or two. I had a blood test done months ago and I never called for the results Im too scared to do it!! I used to go quite frequently, and my doctor then said it would affect me getting employment as too much contact with the medical team! you just can't win can you??!!
