I've had a similar situation Lynda.

 

I must admit I have been tempted to self diagnose a few times as it's almost impossible to get an appointment before 3 weeks. I think they are hoping you'll either get better or snuff it before they have to treat you. It must be easier to get an audience with the Queen.


Indeed. I've always self diagnosed. I never went near a doc when I had shingles. I was only at a doc a couple of times in each pregnancy, and never before 5 months.  I even broke a bone in my foot and dealt with it at home...with hindsight, I regretted that as crutches would have been useful.
