It really depends on how sick I am, at my age you have to be more careful. But most of the time I can take care of it myself. I try very hard not to get sick and to keep my Hubby well also.

It is not always that i Love to go to the doctors. If I have petty fevers or running nose or any other minor ailments then I take care of myself. I do not go to the doctor. I prefer to take home remedies in those matters. Like taking soup, Warm water gargling etc. I get better at these remedies. So I usually do not get to the doctors.

when I am ill when i I know I can handle what I feel I just eat fruits , medicine and get enough rest. When I know the feeling is strange and I can't take the feeling even for a seconds, I will immediately submit myself to the hospital to be check by a doctor. I don't want the feeling of irratibility for hours and I know when I am not okay or the feeling is new.

It depends. If it's only cold or flu, or fever maybe I'd just rest. Or if I couldn't help it or run out of medicine, I'd go to the nearest free clinic. But I won't risk myself if the sickness becomes unbearable, just like what happened to me last month. I suffer from severe back pain (due to pregnancy) that made me unable to move or walk. So, I went straight to the hospital.

I usually will try to wait it out. If I get really miserable that I can't take care of myself let alone my kids then I will go to the doctor. I usually can get over stuff pretty easily. If it is something though that I don't know what I have and it could be serious then I go right away.

i personally don't like going to the doctor. if it's something that i feel doesn't need medical attention i tend to stay home and take care of myself. i just keep over the counter medicine and things like that around. i do know some people who go to the doctor for everything, even a little scratch.

It all depends on what it is. I can take care of myself if I have a cold, an upset stomach and other minor illness. When things escape my knowledge, I go to the next stage. I have several doctor friends who are not necesarilly especialists in my illness. They decide whether I should not worry (and many times they give me a prescription) or they say it´s something to worry.
I wish everyone had the kind of help I do in every thing. I have a loving family and caring friends.
Take care!
