I am like this not just with every medical professional ever, but also haircut appointments, spa appointments (snort, as if I ever make one) and massages/physical therapies and the like. GAH.<br /><br />I'm so proud of you for actually going. Maybe we should start a support group and we'll start with your testimony. You're an inspiration!Lynnhttp://diaryofaturtlehead.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-61465770001605756992012-05-01T07:17:31.069-07:002012-05-01T07:17:31.069-07:00You are going to that appointment.

Between now and then I want you to picture yourself going to the appointment, and getting good information from it, and then afterwards meeting someone for a treat. Treat, someone, those are your choice. After the appointment, you can have a treat.<br /><br />I don't do this with medical specialists only because I have not yet needed one, but I do it with *every fucking thing else* in my life and I hate it about myself and I always feel WORSE when I back out of something I really wanted / needed to do, so on Thursday I don't want you to feel worse. I want you to feel better.clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944084489177974511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-10623794069080097432012-04-30T19:13:58.612-07:002012-04-30T19:13:58.612-07:00I have a rreally hard time getting help.

I've had horrifying allergies for most of my life and FINALLY, at age, well over 40, my doctor prescribed me some Flornase, which apparently everyone and their DOG uses. GAWD. <br /><br />Good Luck!

But she is the only one in the city so every 18 months I put on my big girl panties and go. Misery loves company - so please - keep your appointment!

I resent being treated like a simple-minded kindergartner by physicians.<br /><br />*deep breath*<br /><br />Must stop now before my comment turns into a real rant & becomes novel length.

I was glad to be there, going through it with her. It was a good distraction for us to chat while we both wanted to scratch our arms off! The specialist was somewhat dismissive and entering stuff on his laptop constantly while we were meeting with him, but at the end, he printed off an extremely detailed sheet for each of us to take home...great for people like me who can't remember the billion bits of info they brain-dump on you at these appts! Plus, he had a totally dry sense of humour. As frustrating as it may seem, it's worth it to at least be able to "scratch" it off the list...OMG I can be sooo punny. You can do it!mindreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763220015602999524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-32721482256280636122012-04-29T09:06:37.756-07:002012-04-29T09:06:37.756-07:00IS THAT THE MOM DERMATOLOGISTS HATE?
