How to go to the doctor by opethian

"It was a disappointing experience."

How I did it: I was needing to go to the doctor for years to help deal with my
chronic insomnia that I've had most of my life.  However, I have
doctor-phobia.  My girlfriend pushed me to go and I don't think I would
have gone without her help.


It was a disappointing experience.  He gave me some prescription
sleeping pills (Ambien) which work about as well as the
over-the-counter stuff (and I don't want pills), he told me to
exercise more (been there, done that...good for my health, but I still
can't sleep), and he told me to quit smoking (easier said than done...and I had this problem before I started smoking).

Gee, thanks.

I don't really blame the doctor too much.  I think it's a hard problem
to deal with.  I just wish I knew what the problem was.  I used to think it was because of caffeine, but I'm not a soda-drinker anymore and I still can't sleep.

How I did it: I got pregnant and have to attend monthly prenatal visits...so it's almost like cheating!  It's easy now. I schedule an appointment, attend, fill my prenatal prescriptions and follow up on recommendations.  The sonograms are fun. Read how I did it…

    CookiePox is a yummy disease>>

    Appointment. 1 week ago

    It was just a physical and everything turned out fine… including the small problems I thought I had. It was my first appointment in 5 years by myself… so it was a bit awkward. But hey, at least that’s out of the way. Maybe I won’t have to go for another 5 years. :p

    Attempt. 3 weeks ago

    I walked into a clinic today… but it wasn’t a walk-in clinic. Whoops!
    I guess I’ll have to track down where my family doctor works. It’s been such a long time since my last visit that I don’t remember!

    No way. 3 months ago

    I don’t want to do this, but except the folks who put righty back together, I have had nothing to do with this sort for a very long time. This is on the “thinks I hate” list.

    I haven’t had any major health problems jump out and need confronting, but if I don’t get my weight under control soon, I’ll need to go.
