If you feel sick don take it for granted have it checked!!!

i agree with you on this one. msot people just take it for granted until it's too late. although there was a time when i was guilty of this too and i end getting a bad cold. so, when ever i get a feel strange that am gonna get sick, i would simply buy medications to have myself ready

My parents are the types who don't go to the doctor unless something is seriously wrong. My dad always thought it was a waste of money to go see a doctor if you were perfectly healthy (even if though they had insurance!). The problem is, these days there are many illnesses that have no symptoms . . . and my opinion is it is better to have things checked out earlier than later! Unlike my parents, I make sure I get myself checked out yearly - minimally! My mother had a condition one year. Instead of going to the doctor's, she self did self diagnosing and medicating - and claimed she was getting better - when in fact she was getting worse. This went on for a year. She ultimately had to go to the hospital to have surgery! Things could have been worse - I think she learned a big lesson that year or at least I hope. I had some minor conditions in my 20's . . . and because of it, I became an athlete and became very self aware of my health. I am lucky I learned to stay healthy since then. Even so, I am now pregnant with a second child, and I have been diagnosed gestational diabetes. It's a condition that will go away, but I do have to be careful with what I eat - and the doctors monitor me like a hawk. But because I do what I'm supposed to do, I am on top of the condition - and all is going well so far with me and the baby. Yes, health is wealth - that's for sure! I know two people who passed away in the past couple months (fairly young too) . . . their health failed on them beyond their control, unfortunately. We should feel very fortunate to be as healthy as we are . . . let's all take care!
