in going to the doctor

[Sheherazadethegoat]

I hate going but dh has been on at me. i have felt crappy for about 6 weeks, low level sore throat, mouth ulcers, dizzyness and the past few days general wobbliness. i think i will just sound silly when i go to the doctor and will be told i have a 'virus'. please help i am v. close to canceling.

Go! Sounds like you are run down and there may be something behind it. Are you pg? or BFing?

no not pg or bfing just crappy. thanks

No don't cancel - just go and see GP, tell him your symptoms! You may well be referred to in gp terms "as the worried well" but at least it will give your DH (and you) peace of mind!

If it is a bacterial infection, then antibiotics will help!

i don't want to sit there like a big hypachondriac (sp?)

I have felt really odd for the last week or two, not the mouth ulcers but pretty much the rest. Also, feel pretty down/fed-up which is un-like me. My dh also feels much the same so I think it could also be a virus, or the time of year. I would go to the doctors, at least they will check you out, take your blood pressure etc. 6 weeks is too long to feel like this. Hope you feel better soon.

yep i have been pretty down too.

I'm a doctor and would take what you're saying fairly seriously. 6 weeks is a while, and you need a full blood count at the very least (I would also do some other tests depending on what there was to see when looking at you). Definitely go.

There you go - no cancelling for you! Let us know how you get on! Maybe a bunch of flowers and a magazine on the way home would help too .

thanks everyone ok will go!
