I didn't go to a Dr. for months or a year after I had a streak of blood on my panties. And I was past menopause. I thought I'll just let it go and see what happens. Well, what happened is that one day I had a hemorrhage down there, and it turned out to be uterine cancer. I had to have surgery, radiation, and chemo. But thank God I've survived for 7 years. The incision got infected, with MRSA , thanks to the hospital staff not practicing sterile prodedures.Then I was in the hosp every month in '07 and part of '08 with boils of MRSA caused by chemo lowering my immunity to almost zero !
It hurt ! It brought about a hernia alongside the incision. I had to have surgery for that.! A year or two later, the hernia came back and it brought with it, his brothers and sisters.........more hernias on the other side of the incision. Had to have surgery for that ! My lower abdomen hurt for a long time after that ! It is still tender.!

What a story of your will to live. Wonderful. Hoo Ray. I knew there was a strength in you that we didn't quite see. Again, I'm at a loss for words.
You make me feel kinda small because of my puny fear of the doctor. Really. I mean that. Yes....I'm afraid. Thank you for sharing your story of courage. It will get us either scampering to the doctor ... or running fast the other way.

Do it now S, or I'll send you over "someone" who will nag you until you do.
I'm not "afraid" to go but I always think that I may be wasting his time, I am tending to think otherwise now.

The other one gives me pills for pain. We have fun talking but there's no health care involved. I don't want any.
I do have the doctor who takes blood and sends you for mamogramd. That's who I'll be seeing in a few days.

If you are concerned about something see a doctor itsmee, it doesn't matter if they find nothing wrong, it's their job. And you will feel much better knowing that.

I’m not afraid of doctors but my sister is I’m afraid. She’s losing weight like crazy, has a glance problem, and sleeps too much. She won’t listen to me, I’ll keep reading what others post and maybe get a good idea………...

Keep nagging your sister. Is she your little sister or your BIG sistera?
Go to the doctor, Julie's sister! You gotta do it. So do I. So does my husband. (His, I believed, is age) I read him ROMOS' comment and he almost laughed through his pain. and even Julie has to go. You tell her, sister!
I'll keep reading right along with you to see if someone came up with something. X

I hate going to doctors! In fact if I didn't need to refill scrips, I would not go until pain or very disgusting illness made me go! I do believe in mammograms and blood tests for treatable things(blood pressure, thyroid things, ) It seems the docs want to send you to some one else at the drop of a hat! (My arm hurts!! Oh you should see this bone specialist) ( My tummy hurts! See this gastro specialist) I guess thats why I wait until the last minute!!

I got into specialists 10 years ago when i had a problem with pain in my neck. I went to every teaching hospital in California. Terrible. I finally met up with a doctor who agreed with me that I couldn't control my own pain. The teaching hospitals are set up with physical therapy, psychology and many other modalities. They've got to get people coming in to keep them in business. This conversation is getting really real ...

By the way, I loved that first photograph you posted. Then you took it down and put up another. As you know, my personal preference was the first one. I'm not the boss. I just play her on TV.
How old and how many are your kids. You've probably said. I miss stuff.
I have a comment for mothers. Get your kids to wash their hands. Mine hurt from possible over washing. My grand daughter has Staph. It is just horrible. It's like the flesh eating bacteria, MRSA. Anyway wash wash wash. My daughter has a closet full of antibacterial things.

i go to my kaiser doctor. then i go to my chiropractor. doctors were trained to medicate cut sedate. chiropractors encourage healing and hopefully teach you how to be healthy. i'm scared to death every time i go to kaiser and dentist for that matter. i know stories. one is i use to work at stanford and i asked a nurse what docs do when they make a mistake. she said bury them.
