@lacy2 I agree with you. I find myself thinking about my symptoms and the scenario of being with a doctor in the office/phone and end up talking myself out of making an appointment! Telling myself all my problems are just my imagination being overly active! I guess I diagnose myself.

@lacy2 I think many people think like you do. It’s the “White
Coat” Syndrome. When you walk into the doctors office, either your blood pressure spikes or you’re suddenly well! But really, symptoms aren’t in our imagination and you surely don’t want to diagnose yourself! I’ve had several virtual visits with my doctor and they go very well and you get more time (at least I have so far).
You might also see if the doctors office has a waiting list. If someone cancels, maybe you can get in earlier.
Keep up the positive attitude!
