Wow Ferd, that is a lot. Plus, you are on quite a bit of drugs IIRC. Are your medical problems being managed ok? I know the drugs themselves can sometimes come with their own set of problems.
I hate the fact that my body is not working like it once was but nothing you can do about the aging process.

Yes Blue ,I am on quite a few meds,and my health/progress is really just stagnant lately(at best).There a some side effects,but not as many as one would assume.I was also in the hospital for some tests last week,and still awaiting some biopsy results
Its truly a tiring and draining way to live,depressing to be disabled,and would love to be healthy again.But more importantly be able to actually work again.Unfortunately that is not in the cards

Same for me but the only thing Im missing is a Neuro that I will start in June. Because of the state insurance I have I had to wait almost a year for an appointment.

Every 4 weeks like clockwork!! Set my next appointment up as I leave the office!! I wish I didn't have to be bound down by doctors, but no other option.

I see my pdoc once a month and my therapist once a week. I'm fortunate they are both wonderful and caring ppl.

See PCP, Cardiologist, and Neurologist every 3 months!
Re: Curious everyone, how often do you see your doctor?
I go on an as needed basis.. Now, I do have to pick up my pain meds each and every month -- (thanks to the drug addicts who deemed Florida the pill mill capital of the country; There are no exceptions to that rule & I never go/went to the pill mill doctors ie pain clinics) But that is basically I call tell the office I'm coming, and then drive there - its not an appt.
But I would imagine over all, its been averaging about once every 2-3 months for one reason or another for actual appts. I was just there last week for my physical.
