Do you go to the doctor for your checkups regularly?

[braggin]

Now that I am a senior I go to my doctor at least every 6 months for her to check me out thoroughly. I get right on anything she finds that isn't right. I figure if I lick medical problems right off the bat, I will be avoiding worse stuff down the road.

Yes I go at least once a year to my regular doctor and my female doctor.

I usually only go if I'm sick.  I'm not real good about keeping up with the regular checkups.

I go for blood work every 3 or 4 months.  Hope everyone has a good day.

I go more than I want to, I have a lot of health issues

[s34g35j]

I do not go just because I know I am in good health and feel t is a waste of my time and the insurance money and besides when  I did the dr ordered a boatload of test and on my last appt he told me and I quote "you are the picture of perfect health" now I know this sounds cliché but tis is true

I get regular checkups.  I also go to the doctor if I don't feel normal or if something shows up on my body.  It's best to catch things early and get some treatment.

[ajamimajida]

I do because I have many medical issues, some serious and some no so serious.  I take 26 medications a day.  Some days I have gotten to the point of saying screw it and quit all meds and doctors.

I go every 3 or 4 months for blood work.  Most of the time it turns out good. 

[braggin]

Yes I make sure to go to the doctor every six months for a checkup. But this is because I am a senior and a lot can go wrong in a senior in 6 months. She keeps me aware of things that can go wrong and how to avoid them.

I generally only go to the doctor when something is wrong.  I'm thinking of going in just to check on things, since it's been a while since I've gone.
