HealthMysteries

I was recently chastised, and rightly so, by my physician for neglecting to follow up on my necessary appointment schedule.  I have a tendency to blow off my doctor visits, tests and the like because it all makes me anxious.  I have been chronically ill with a serious heart problem since I was a child, so I have a well established fear of the medical profession and all the accoutrements that typify treatments.

My doctor has been hounding me about the necessity of getting a colonoscopy, even though in my case, it will involve a series of injections to take me off Coumadin for a period of a week before and a week after the event.  So I have finally given in to my fears and will undertake all this in May.  Suffice it to say, that if I can do this, and have to go through all kinds of hoops to get there, it should be real easy for you .
