Thankfully, I've made it to 41 without any major illnesses, etc, and (apart from pregnancies) hardly ever go to the doctor. I ride out viruses, etc at home.
But over the past few months, nothing seems to be working as it did! I would be embarrassed to go to a doctor over of the individual niggles, as I really don't want to waste their time. But where do you draw the line? When do you decide to go to a doctor? If I went, I'd want to share a list of about 8-10 things that are annoying me, but I couldn't do that in a 10 minute GP appt. But I don't want to go back and forth 8 times!
I'd love to just hear from a professional that it's all just "age" and I'll go on my merry way. Advice always seems to be to get things checked out when they change for you. Do you run to the doc? Or do you just get on with it?
