The 7 Secrets You Shouldn't Keep From Your Doctor

Have you ever gone to the doctor and thought, I just don't want to talk about that. Or better yet, he better not ask me about the 3. Peeing, Pooping, and Procreating. Or in other words SEX.

Finances, sex, bathroom habits, relationships, or that secret little herbal potion you take all effect our lives. And whether we want to believe it or not they effect our health and emotional well being. There's a saying out there, that maybe if you got some you would be in a better mood. This couldn't have more truth to it. We all want to feel loved and appreciated and when this just isn't happening then maybe we are just a little out of sorts.

So don't hide this from your doctor, even though you are compulsed to keep mum's the word.

1. Heavy Drinking, smoking, and illegal drugs: Yes, no one is proud to announce that maybe you've got a drinking problem, or can't stop smoking or worse tinkering with illegal drugs. But doing any of these will affect your multiple sclerosis and put you on a downward spiral. It makes no sense to take your Rebif and than get drunk.

2. Peeing and Pooping: Excessive urination and constipation are symptoms of multiple sclerosis. When things are not working downstairs it causes frustration and anxiety. So the anxiety is really not the root of the problem, it's that your peeing and pooping aren't working correctly.

3. Herbs and Secret Potions: I'm a total advocate for alternative and complementary treatments for ms, but make sure you discuss them with your doctor. We wouldn't want herbs or treatments conflicting with any of the medication your on.

4. It's Tough Out There: Financial concerns, debt, sluggish stock markets, dismal and depressing news all lead to your mental outlook. It's easy to see how someone can feel down and in the dumps after reading their stock analysis and how much money they've lost. Yes, a doctor can't do anything about your stock portfolio but I'm sure he'll understand how you feel. And perhaps realize that your depression is related to focusing on your portfolio and not on other things.

5. Don't Feel Afraid to Talk: If you can't afford the medicine your doctor has prescribed then tell him so, or if you're looking to cut costs or need free samples. You're not the only one who feels this way so don't feel singled out.

6. Eating Too Many Cupcakes: Eating badly, not exercising is something that affects your health. Over sugar consumption, no exercise is a no-no for multiple sclerosis.

7. You Don't Have Any Problems: Waiting till the last minute, or denying that you have any problems. Or it will only go away. This only leads to more denial and anxiety. Be good to yourself and don't ignore your issues.
