Well today is D day gulp..i.e. doctor's visit. I have this all built up in my mind as being something horrible, when in all honesty it probably won't be that bad. I am seeing a nurse practitioner I have never seen before, and I think she is the wife of the intrusive doctor who works at the practice. I hope she is a bit more relaxed than he is. I couldn't see the regular person I see unfortunately. I also have to get bloodwork done, and don't like that either..sigh! Do you hate going to the doctor or don't you mind?

I love my doctor but just the whole rigmarole that goes with a visit I hate. I'm not fond of bloodwork either as I'm always nervous about what the results will be. Good luck with your visit today and hope the nurse practitioner isn't uptight.

Going to my doctor is now similar to going shopping. It's a usual thing now. I have some autoimmune issues and it is a must to regularly visit my doctor

I guess it's OK as long as you like your doctor.

I do hope that it all goes well for you. Not always fun having to go to the doctors. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I have never been a fan of going to the doctor, even for a routine visit. Hope all goes well with you.

Thanks, although it was hardly confidence inspiring, I got in and out of there pretty promptly.

Yes, I just don't want any lectures or anything, extra tests or what not. I just want to get my prescriptions refilled and get out.

He means well, but like last time he was saying I needed such and such a test in order to get my prescription. Like he was holding it hostage or something. I didn't care for that... What is that, Guerilla medicine??

Since I have (until recently) only seen a doc once a year for a checkup, it never bothered me. Now I'm seeing them more often, but I view it as a good thing.

It doesn't worry me like it used to when I was a child but it's not my favourite pastime. If you have a doctor you trust, then all is good.
