Do you run to the doctor for everytime you are down?

I hate medicine! I hate it more to visit doctors! I have been suffering from a chronic head ache problem few days now! And i am tried of taking pills! Now a days if i have any pain i just try to take bit rest and use some ointment! Basically it gives me bit relief, but when pain goes out of control i have take some pills :(

Most of the time I do pop up a pill in everything I feel .. but I do consider alternative medicines sometimes..

lol...nope....with a pharmacologist at home...we hardly go to the doctor unless we need medical equipment to be used on us. My husband doesn't believe in treating everything with medicines (though he is in the field)....and he also knows the real components that go into the medicines. So, he gives us the right thing at the right time. And I have to say it's worked for us. We use a mix of allopathic and alternative medicines when necessary.

Hi Mayka, I very rarely go to the doctors so if I ever do they take me seriously if I say something is wrong, I also don't like to take tablets but will go for a herbal rememdy if possible everytime. Huggles. Ellie :D

mayka I do not believe in alternative medicine much as I am a diabetic and I believe in my doctors. if i have pain I will find out why then do whatever is necessary to alleviate it.if its just a headache I will take some ibuprofin and I am fine in a short while. other severe' pains are b est treated by a reputable doctor.

I hate taking medication but if I really need to take something then I will like when I got tendonitis in my ankle or I had a sinus infection earlier this year which nothing else would shift so I went for some antibiotics. If I can manage something myself then I will. Earlier this year I developed an allergy and my eyes swelled shut. I took anti histamines but didn't bother going to the doctors because that's all they would give me. If I absolutely need medication 'll take it but otherwise I'll look for alternatives.

Hi Mayka! I try not to pop up the pills, without consulting my Doctor. I think occasionally, it may be OK to take one of two medicines, else, it is always preferable to go to Doctor and take medicines, as per his prescription.

I don't go to the dr. as much as i need to. I do take alot of meds because i have alot of problems. I don't take much over the counter things but my vitamins that the dr. told me to take.

actually i avoid doctors and all. i try not to use any kind of medication, i am more into alternative ways. herbal or natural. or i'll just deal with it on my own.

I am not against doctor.. BUT there's nothing wrong to try alternative medicine when feeling pain or small sickness. could be hardly saying for being dependent to a doctor when feeling down.. consultation fee is very expensive though.

If I am ill, I take a lot of orange juices and water too... I need some "vitamin C" and to make myself active to fighting the illness... I think this is one of alternative ways to practice. If these method does not work, then I proceed to look for a doctor as symptoms persist. The pills are only solution to severe sickness, thus to avoid it we have to give priority to natural medications like for instance having simple headache or body fatigue and muscles ache too. Pills medication is somewhat like varying from circumstances and depending on how the pain is tolerable by the body... if one's fever is so severely affecting the whole body and vital human system then I should say that popping in a pill is important but this is possible only with the doctor's advice through consultation.
