 My fear of doctors and anything to do with medical treatment keeps me
completely away from them.  I have many symptoms, but am more afraid
of what a doctor would recommend than I am of having a serious
problem.  Recently, I had a physical? for life insurance.  Of course
they don't really give you a physical, just weigh you and take
fluids.  I am not afraid of needles, shots, etc., but just the
thought of a blood test makes my mind go to work and soon I am sick.
The blood test the nurse gave me almost made me faint.  The only
reason I didn't faint is because I know how I react (lowered BP) and
put my head between my knees as soon as the clammy sweats came.  Does
anyone else have this sort of phobia?  I went to a dr. last year and
he wanted an ultrasound of my neck done and when I went for the test
and found out there would be sounds from my neck, I couldn't go
through with it.  I probably have some serious blockage, but have too
much fear of what they would do to get it diagnosed.
