Re: [000-Fear-Of-Doctors] have to go, but don't want to

And I don't go either.
No, I don't take it badly.
I need to be medicated to see a dentist. I don't know why this phobia is not
addressed more. We are too phobic to talk about it. I would never go unless it
was
life threateneing. Do you know that? Well, my boyfriend knows that. He is the
same
way.
I did have bad symptoms one night recently, very bad pains in my pelvic area.
It
may have been an infection or it may have been some strain. But it was so bad,
I
went to the ER. I though, if I had an exploding ovary, I wanted it the hell out
of
me.
I do have a problem with dying right now. I don't have time or it, AND, I don't
want
to die because of something stupid, when it is not in my plans.
They kept asking stupid questions. like when did I have my last tetnus shot
(when I
was 7 years old?).
But it was posh, and empty and I was the only one there. I pick my ER's out
carefully. No student idiots working on my firneds.
The doc checked me, saw nothing serious, gave me antibiotics, and sent me home.
I
think sleep cured it. but they yelled at me for being anemic. So I started iron
again. I didn't neeed them to tell me I was anemic. I told them I was anemic. I
don't care much about it. I bought some rather expensive iron, (cheap ones had
been
making me sick) So maybe I don't need as much heat this winter?
But I have heard about weird pelvic infammatory diseases, and toxic shock
syndrome
killing people in less that 2 hours, and all. So I went to see if that is what I
had. It wasn't. Even though it was sudden, intese, unexpalined (neve had it
before)
pain, equivalent to labor. I was rolling around on the bed, yowling. Had to
smash up
a pain pill (1 vicodin) just to get normal enough to talk. If may daughter
ahdn;'t
een home, I don't know how I would have gotten help. She called my son, who had
a
car. They voted that I go. I wouldn't have. But I was disabled from the pain,
and
did not know what it was. A normal hospital would have had me in the hallway, or
in
surgery or something.
But prescriptions for birth control, are stupid, inho. -SD
