I've done thousands of these. There is nothing you could possibly look like or smell like that could offend or upset me.' Since then I've had many doctors conduct my spear - male, female, old, young. As long as they are gentle and warm up the speculum first! Oh, and best advice I received was to wear a long skirt to you appointment. There's something vulnerable about having to entirely disrobe the lower half of your body. You feel a little more dignified and empowered when all you need to do is scootch off your knickers and raise your skirt. Pap smears can be a little crampy, but they're over in 60 seconds and once every two years is manageable! Good luck.

Oy!) and I spend a hell of a lot of time seeing doctors, physiotherapists, radiologists, podiatrists and other medical folks. So there are times when I'm just a bit over it, and I don't follow up on the other regular checks that we all should get.<br /><br />Sometimes it feels as though I spend half my life at or travelling to and from appointments. The time off work is a bit ridiculous, to be honest. But I'm trying to be better about the routine stuff - I set reminders in my email calendar and on my phone so I remember to get my cholesterol and other blood work checked, fit in that mammogram or ask about whether my Vitamin D needs to be checked again. <br /><br />I am religious about 6-monthly dental check ups though, so I get points for that. :)Kekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545413219256990483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-67921364703013299902013-04-25T20:24:37.936+10:002013-04-25T20:24:37.936+10:00Hey Kattie

After adjusting our lives when we were told my husband had a chronic illness (which turned out to be a major misdiagnosis) I feel a bit lost in remembering to take care of myself too. I just trot along and go to a doctor when I really have to. It's hard to see my GP - while he's a pretty good one, he's only "office hours" and is near my house, where as I have an hour and a half commute to work office hours each day. So I basically never get to see him. My only choice is the lousy after hours bulk billing clinic where they automatically presume everyone is a drug addict & don't respect you. I've also never had a pap smear. Barely any female doctors around too, one more challenge to add to the list!

I was diagnosed with bipolar and everything went into finding something to control that. It was a 10 year rollercoaster. However, a couple of years ago I decided I had enough of things not being right and requested to go to the Black Dog Institute. Now, I am not going to say it was a revelation. In fact it wasn't that great of an experience however because of it I was able to find a psychiatrist who has helped me more in a year than anyone else in the previous 10. <br /><br />Due to this I have started looking after me. I saw a dietician and got sorted on portion sizes. A friend of mine told me one day that she was taking me to the pool and I haven't looked back since. In fact I am competing in a 600 m fresh water swim on the weekend. In the last 2 years I have lost 31 kg. There is still a lot to lose but I am going in the right direction and 2 more kg and I am back under 100. <br /><br />I have always gone to the dentist regularly. Some of my medications badly effected my teeth. If I hadn't gone I would probably have lost a lot by now. I do have pap smears and while they don't hurt at all physically it is extremely difficult for me psychologically but I do it because if there are problems I want to catch them quickly. <br /><br />As all my health professionals tell me, take little steps and you won't realise that they have become big ones.
