Suggestion time!

Write a list of your symptoms before you go. Since you will (probably) be nervous you may forget to tell him/her something.

Honestly, closing your eyes to the problem only makes the fear worse so go, go, go! *Kicks you out the door*

Yes - lists and questions written down and read put a space between you and the medical personnel who make you nervous, and any little trick like that which allows you to stay that much calmer and in control is a Good Thing.

I'm a hypoglycemic. Two meals a day is a massively shitty idea - same amount of food spread evenly throughout the day is much, much better for your blood sugar (and protein is your friend--heavy carbs will leave you feeling tired all the damn time). And making sure you're drinking enough water (seriously drink lots, but no more than a gallon a day!) is smart... I feel rotten when I don't, and that's not even counting the way it annoys my asthma.

It's ok to be scared.
Really.
But you can do this. And as Annie said - if you need support via the phone, then call one of us.

Is gonna be okay, Nom. I promise. Even if they poke at you.

*hugs and squishes you*

*huge hugs*

I am a phone call and a drive away, schedule allowing. Listen to the wise ladies who posted before I did. You are brave. You are strong. And you will be all right.

My response to that is that my cousin had a cold and it didn't go away and he never went to a doctor...His cold became bronchitis which became pneumonia so bad he was hospitalized and he had to have surgery to drain the fluid pout of his lungs...Go to the doctor!

If you don't go to the doctor, you may miss out on a real hunk. Thing Snape but with gooood bedside manner. ~wink~

Paraphrasing what the others said: Get thee to a doctor.
