Extreme fear of doctors. what do I do?

When I go to a doctor or a dentist I go pale and sick with fear. I am depressed and afraid for when I know I need work done. I have avoided doctors for over a decade and when I go to a dentist they have to give me nitrus and valum.
I know it doesnt make sense.
Can I fix the way I am?

Answer:
In the great words of Jimmy Buffett: Breath in, Breath out, Move on.
In other words, realize how unfounded and illogical your fears are, let them go and move on.
wo thats weird. i would just take some deep breaths and be strong, brother! lol. you must realize that they're only there 2 help you. i used to be scared of them too, but that was back when i was scared of the show barney. lol. and chucky cheese.
First of all dentists are good.I know a dentist musicman like you.He is participating in Indian Idol 3 telecasted at Sony Entertainment.His name is Chang and you may watch him,He is very cute in appearance also.
You should make friends with dentist if you want to be what you are.
Doctors and dentists are healers, remember the illness or a toothache? and then you go to a doctor and they ease your pain. With this in mind you should know that they love you and they just want to help you, so they are our friends.
I know EXACTLY how you feel!
I am not going to say your fears are unjustified, because - though I don't have the kind and degree of out-and-out FEAR that you do - I have no fondness for nor trust of the conventional medical system, either.

I would recommend you do some research on what they call "alternative" medicines.
My boyfriend/fiance had a heart attack back in '98 and the Dr.s at the VA hospital put him on a bunch of medications, afterwards. Before long, he had developed breathing problems - which they told him were the result of the heart attack, even though they did not show up immediately after the heart attack, but only after he started taking the medications.
I did not meet him till '03 and did not get into really talking about his medical matters till about '06. I noticed that his health seemed to be steadily declining from what it was when we first met, so I decided to look up his medications on the internet and found that EVERY ONE of them listed "breathing difficulties" as possible side effects!
He took the info I printed out for him to the VA hospital and his Dr took him off those meds, but the damage was already done! He kept getting worse. In January of this year, his condition was so bad he couldn't get up out of a chair and walk into the next room or even just stand up and take his t-shirt off without gasping and struggling for breath!

I persuaded him to start going to an acupuncturist, and there was notable improvement after the first treatment. He goes every Friday for treatment (It really IS painless, despite what one may think, you DON'T feel the needles AT ALL) and they give him some herbs, too.
He has come a long way back since then, and his VA Drs are astounded. They can't figure out how or why he has gotten better..

I would seriously recommend alternative medicine to you. Where conventional medicine fixes one thing by breaking something else (Just listen to those horriffic lists of side effects they rattle off in a voice so fast they hope you won't hear it clearly, the next time you see a TV commercial for some arthritis, asthma or allergy pill.) alternative medicine rreally DOES fix the problem without causing another in its place.

Check out the website: naturalcures.com
The guy who runs it is an obnoxious, opportunistic egotist in my opinion, but he is an obnoxious, opportunistic egotist who just happens to have some VERY valuable info. If you can get past dealing with his annoying personality, there is a wealth of important and helpful info to be found there.
