Aware probably neither of us are being unreasonable as such but it's just such a clash in opinions some outside opinions would be good.
My health has been a bit funny for the last year. I'm still able to get up and haven't had an absence from work from ages but I have some weird symptoms. They're all relatively minor but combined they are annoying to me and extremely worrying to DP. I think part of the problem is how used to it I've gotten and that because I can still go about my day to day life I don't really feel "sick" if that makes sense? Like a doctors time would be better used on someone who really needed it.
To summarise, it started with a lot of neck problems. My throat sometimes hurts a bit but the main issues were a lot of phlegm (I know, ew) to the point where I would choke on it and swollen lymph nodes on my neck and sometimes under my arms. I've dropped a dress size and my appetite has dropped but my tummy is always bloated, it's not too noticeable but seems huge compared to the rest of me. I tire really easily and have been having occasional bouts of nausea, sore throats and have just felt like there's always something up for the last year. As I mentioned though, it's never enough to keep me in bed all day.
I've agreed I will see a doctor but DP and I are now debating over how much of a priority it should be, I personally wouldn't consider this an emergency or urgent but DP thinks I should prioritise the next available (routine) appt over work/classes etc.
I feel terrible that I've worried him this much and would love some thoughts. I know it's unreasonable but I hate feeling like I'm wasting time that another patient could have had.
If you made it to the end thanks for your time xx
