How often do you go for a check up etc. to your doctor? I would go very frequently about every 3 months because I am severly asthmatic. Now that my insurance is cut for now I am going every 6 months. How often do you go to the doctor?

I have asthma as well and I am supposed to go to the doctors every three months as well. I am also supposed to get blood work every three months as well. I have very hard to get vain so I only get blood work done once a year. They bust up my arms so bad that I can not let them take my blood more than that. My insurance sucks so bad. I have a 2500 deductable before the insurance even pays 80% of my bill. Medical is so expensive. My doctor understands my problem and he gives me enough medication to get me through six months instead of three. I hate when I get sick because it costs us so much money. I spend over four thousand dollars a year in doctor bills because of my asthma. My daughter is so healthy though. She is seventeen and only gets minor sniffles. My husband is hardly ever sick. I think it was 1995 when he got sick last. I wish my health was as good. Well maybe some day the government will do something about health care cost.

I am always sick, it is so frustrating have to deal with a cold, asthma, back pain. Having bad insurance does not help, it seems without money nothing can be done and that's too bad. I hope your health gets better, dealing with asthma and going to the doctors so much for the same tests etc. is definatly not fun!

Believe it or not I never go to the Doctor. I don't think I've been to a Doctor in like 4 years. I count myself lucky for this, as I don't have insurance.
