feeling pretty shit with chest infection,sleepless nights etc,havent been for years,might have to ring up,its beenat least 15 years,is that normal
I'm the same, only go if I'm half dead - then always wondered what I was worried about once I'm there chatting to the nice friendly Doc.
Now I have to take a full medical every year including drug/HIV/Hep B/TB tests to renew my work visa so it's like getting an MOT.
Last time the young Korean dentist gave out an actual yelp of disgust when she look into my mouth and saw the tea stains on the back of my teeth - I almost swallowed her little mirror thing thinking she had seen a tumor or something!
She advised my to get a polish

Last went two years ago for a routine check up. Passed with flying colours.
Striding home, congratulating myself smugly on what a healthy specimen I was for someone of my advanced years, I slipped on some wet leaves. Landed on my elbow and snapped the bone clean in half.
Two years on it's still tender, I have two metal pins and a bit of wire in my arm, and I'll never be able to straighten it completely again despite three months of the physio sitting on it trying to get it loosened.
The moral: don't go to the doctors - it's dangerous.

I was the same about my teeth. I decided not to go to the dentist for 20 years. About 2 months ago my back tooth just completely broke off leaving me with a massive cavity. I got caught out and had no choice, and had to get it sorted. I have now had four visits to the dentist and my phobia of dentists has gone. Yesterday was a painful experience as I had my bottom teeth cleaned and scraped, but the things are sorted now. I intend to look after my teeth properly and get to the dentists on a regular basis.

I had this recently. Not registered where i am and had the first real health scare i can remember. Went to a walk in GP. They can prescribe medication but won't be able to do blood tests but they sorted my problem, severe headache which actually resulted from a chest infection which spread to my sinuses. Would recommend going to one of those if it continues and you are not registered with a GP.

I'm in them every day.
For work, mind you, and generally not the same doctors surgery.

You know you have a chest infection, yet you haven't been to the doctor? Please go to the doctor, he'll find out what you have, and treat you accordingly.

Last went about 4 months ago to pick up a copy of my medical records. Before that was to have the full medical for my visa, prior to that was for tinnitus (the OH was getting worried and fooled me into going about 12 months ago).

This is one of those inevitability questions, like death and taxes. Don't worry as you get older the number Doctors visits will increase.

Man up, drop of brandy in some hot water 4 times a day and your soon feel fit as a fiddle.
How did you overcome your dentist phobia? Only reason I ask is I'm absolutely terrified of them

Just keep going lol. I'm used to it again now. The longer you leave your teeth the worse it will get.
I learned the hard way. I will not be making the same mistake again.
I'm really lucky to have had only one filling all my life. That's why I intend to look after my teeth.
The re-assurance of knowing your teeth are good is better than not knowing.

Im terrified of paying the bills!!
Fortunately for me I don't pay, really fortunate seeing as my last visit would have cost in excess of £2k
