Guess I am very lucky kiving in the small town where I moved to 11 years ago. My best friends who have become family are the PA I ended up going to because I knew & trust her & her across the street farm neighbor is my retired pharmacist. So any time I end up sick (which has only been 3 times in 11 years) I can ask about what might be wrong before heading to the MD'S office where I would see my PA anyway.....lol we go to her house for house calls unless really sick. It has really helped with my anxiety level about sickness.

Just as an aside.....anxiety lowers one's immune system which can cause more sickness. If you normally are highly anxious anyway, that may be lowering your immune system. I was forever sick when I lived in my previous environment. The change lowered my anxiety which I also noticed a huge difference in my level of illnesses.
