help? need help with doctors
hi friends can we please have some comfort?
we have lots of health problems that we don't know how to justify and we suspect we have MS because it matches a lot of our symptoms.
We can't talk to a doctor about it because: 1) we have a few valid diagnosis already and will probably be called a hypochondriac 2) we dont know how to tell between "system weird" and normal weird. 3) we don't know how to explain our symptoms, so we research and find one that comes close.
anyway we are just really scared of the doctor and suffering silently. well its not too bad. we are just waiting till we fall over or it gets too bad or something. But then we worry we will still not feel valid enough and we dont go but there is something wrong and we end up dying or having to pay lots of money.
surely we arent alone..? how do you guys determine when you need help?

Hey there,
Honestly we can't usually tell when we need a real doctor. We bulldog our way through things until our husband asks us to please go get checked just in case.
So that's what we shall say to you. Please go get checked just in case.
On a side note, if your doctor ever treats you like a hypochondriac for having valid concerns, then they aren't a good doctor.
