I'm looking for medical advice ...

... but not the type of medical advice you mother-haters need to worry about!

Can anybody recommend a doctor (a sports doctor if there's such thing or a GP who really understands running/runners) in Dublin (preferably city centre) or somewhere near Dublin?

I've been under the weather for 4-6 weeks now - not sick enough to be out of work and am able to get on with my day to day life but not well enough to train properly and consistently. I know if I go to a regular GP they'll just tell me I'm fine and not to be worrying about that running mallarky!

Any recommendations appreciated.
Cheers
PK

i was in the same boat before, got bloods done and was a low lying viral infection. it still flares up when i'm run done or over do it, but there's nothing i can do about it so i just train on, take berocca and paracetamol when needed. you don't feel great cause you're obv not training as well but for me it's better than not training... you don't want to be around me when i'm not training..:p

This may come in handy for someone else in the same boat ...
