I sleep a lot, drink green smoothies, and usually I am back on my feet in a day or two. I take LO for everything, but I think that will ease up when he can talk and tell me whats wrong. I constantly worry about ear infections because I know they are so painful and there's no way for me to know without getting them checked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013690 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:11:30 +0000 spaniellove 2013690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only go for regularly scheduled specialist appointments and even then because they'll stop giving me care somehow if I don't show up. Otherwise I might need to be on the brink of death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013679 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:06:15 +0000 Mae 2013679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not often. Generally only if I know I need meds or if I've been sick for like a week+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013670 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:03:06 +0000 autumnleaves 2013670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have annual routine appointments with a few doctors and try to address worries I have with them then (once I was having neck pain when I turned my head and it was bad to the point of not being able to check the blind spots when driving - I brought this up at the routine appointment and was prescribed physical therapy that helped me tremendously and felt like a massage at times).<br /> Other than that I go when I think I need antibiotics. I just got over the flu - I would have gone to the doctor if the 102 fever lasted for 3 days but it didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013563 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:57:37 +0000 blackbird 2013563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When i know i need antibiotics (sinus infections, etc) or can't kick something. I rarely have issues that require I need to see a regular dr. Issues like my back, I immediately see a chiro. Something would have to bother me for awhile before I saw someone because I find that most resolve on their own..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013553 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:53:21 +0000 lamariniere 2013553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: same for me. </p> <p>I normally don't have health issues but this past fall had a few things all in a row. Being a huge worry wart, I saw two different docs and went for a full physical. Glad I did it for the peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013552 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:53:11 +0000 Mamaof2 2013552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sinus infections and strep throat - that's about it!</p> <p>Oh and UTI's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013547 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:49:27 +0000 autumnlove 2013547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very rarely. Usually when DH is sick of my coughing or if my pain is severe for over a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013544 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:47:42 +0000 Espion 2013544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @LuLu Mom: , not pregnant? Never. Even when I had the martian death flu (swine flu) a few years back I didn't go to the doctor and went back to work the next day. </p> <p>But when I got insanely itchy over the last few days, I called my OB and demanded labs, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013532 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:43:54 +0000 rachiecakes 2013532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's something unusual or something that doesn't go away with the usual home remedies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013523 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:40:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 2013523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnant, I go when I have a big enough concern or at least call and talk to a nurse for peace of mind. </p> <p>Non-Pregnant: unless I'm pretty sure I need an antibiotic for something (sinus infection, ect.) I push through and don't go unless it's lingering or I'm missing work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doctor-for-yourself#post-2013519 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:38:08 +0000 artsyfartsy 2013519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rush T to the doctor for everything...but when it comes to me I rarely go to the doctor. </p> <p>I'm feeling like crud and pretty sure I need to go. I just don't take it as seriously as I do with my son. Haha</p> <p>What about you? Are you quick to go or do you usually hold off? </p>
