ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant Ahem...I believe the term is "stoic". Let's see. . . wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. . . (I have been out of school TOO long) Not going to the doctor does not sound so wise to me! I agree...so c'mon and see your Doctor, alluring one.  I do go see the doctor when I think there is a problem. Even if it seems silly. Two examples. . . One of my ears kept feeling like it had water in it (such as after a bath) and after about 10 days of this it got VERY annoying. Not painful. Just annoying. SO, I made an appointment. Yes, I felt like an idiot for it. Well, come to find out, I had collasped my eustachian tube. Decongestants cleared that up. I talked to a guy later (my parents neighbor) who had the same thing happen to him. He decided NOT to go to the doctor. Ended up rupturing his ear drum (amoung other things) and now has something like 75% hearing loss in that ear. The other is after about another 10 days of what felt like bad menstral cramps, I made a doctor's appopintment. Again, I felt like an idiot for making the appointment. I mean, FFS, they are just cramps. But I was getting annoyed with them lasting so long and no period. Well, they weren't "cramps." I had ovarian cysts. One at least was bigger than ovary itself. Without treatment and monitering, it could have burst and I would have hemmoraged and bled out. Not so good. Funny part is when the doctor had me come back in to discuss the sono results with me. He gave the dimensions in cm. and I did the conversions in my head, and said, "Well, that explains why it hurts so much." His response was, "Yes, I bet you are hurting!." So, yes, CD, I DO go to the doctor if there is something wrong. And everyone else is now thinking, "WAY too much info there, Aylee!" I return you to your normal insanity! Trust me when I say I am glad to hear that you do go to your doctor...but I meant come see your "other" doctor. Seriously though, do you know that the only way I get some of my male patients to come in so I can check them out is to send out a reminder note each spring and fall telling them that they should stop by when they bring their vehicle in for semi-annual service---make sure their body's wellness is maintained at least as well as their car's. Now THAT, they get. holly, get Jim in to see his doctor---medical or chiropractic---it won't kill him.
