I do not do doctors or dentists unless I am Dying or in terrific pain?

as these cost money. I last saw a doctor about 15 years ago and a dentist about 18 years ago. I try and deal with things myself by asking the pharmacist for something or just enough pain killers to kill the pain. I do get very painfull calf musle in my leg and I recently pulled it I am still wearing a support and just keep taking the painkillers if it gets bad. Other than that I excersize 10 mins every morning and I walk my dog twice a day. I do not drive so tend to walk everywhere. I only eat soft things as I am terrified of dentist I cant stand the smell or the noise of the drill a couple of times I have made it as far as the door and decided maybe tommorow its usually much better by then how do you cope with things?
