Doing my Bi-annual trip to the doctor. How many of you have regular trips to a doctor?
I need to have my blood tested two times a year as part of my HRT. This is to check my levels and other things like cholesterol and several other things that can be a problem as you get older.

Only go once a year, and honestly, debating even doing that (usually go in July). I have insurance, but taking off half a day to go to my doctor, plus paying a co-pay and gas, just to be told I'm fine... eh. I haven't had any odd medical issues within the last year or two, and I don't think I need to worry much about my cholesterol or blood pressure until I'm at least 30. So... probably going to forgo it for a while!
I go every November, and then spend until March having tests done and seeing specialists.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

I go once every 3 months, due to my diabetes. Prior to being diagnosed, I usually only went once a year.

I only go when I have a problem.

That's what I did until I was told I had to go for tests annually because of a long family history of Cardiomyopathy, other heart diseases, and Diabetes.

I've been to the doctor four times in my life. Three visits were emergencies and once for vaccinations as a kid.
I go to the doctor every 3mo. Some of the medication I am on can have adverse side affects to my health if taken long term and I have been on them for 6yrs now. Every few months I have to have some test run to make sure my blood pressure isn't out of control and my blood sugar is stable.

Well, did the round trip to Houston and they did labs on me. (Vampire blood sucking)
I have to go back in 2 weeks so the doctor can yell at me for who knows what I've been
doing bad.

Posting habits are not something that will kill me (Cept my Karma)
Things like High Blood pressure, High cholesterol, being overweight ..... ect.
Those are the things that will get me dead sooner.

Oh, that guy.
I plan on dying in glorious battle before I get old, so I don't need a sorcerer telling me I might be sick.

When I am sick.
I do not think I've had a regular check up in 10 years. I should probably do something about that.
