Knobby 212 #34 Posted June 10, 2019 Back to the clinic this morning. Showed the Dr my results and she agreed with the hospital that its muscle not heart trouble. So probably goes back to a few months ago when in the gym in Germany when I think it happened. She did start talking physio therapy but I dont want that due to my budget for the trip. She then gave me dome Norgesic tablets to take when needed. I did a quick Google search on them. I will only use if and when the pain is bad I think. I then gave some blood for a Testosterone test and Cholesterol test. The clinic will e mail me the results and then if needed will go back and see the Dr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeachGuySC 594 #44 Posted June 13, 2019 As long as he can spend that every week, that’s probably true. It appears from posts he’s there all the time, but even if that were true, he’d get bored or his nest egg would disappear or he couldn’t service all the girls every night at every bar. Or can he......? Its like The car business. If a dealer gets one or two people that pay full window sticker price in a month - out of 200 cars sold - he’s thrilled. Everyone else negotiates. But the persons who paid sticker are thrilled too, maybe negotiation is painful for them. .....sincerely, signed Captain Obvious ! ( I will say this same thing a different way in my next 400 posts in the next 6 minutes). Okay - lighten up, it’s just a joke ..........if we can’t make fun of ourselves, who can we laugh at? Beam?

Knobby 212 #46 Posted June 16, 2019 Update, Back to the quacks today, After waiting nearly 2 fucking hours. That clinic is "ok" but fuck they seem unorganised to me? Anyways, Finally got to see her. I told her I had done some reading and got some intel (thanks to all those who suggested thing - even loonie ) So I says HDL is waste cholesterol , why is that called "good" LDL type A you need , Whats my LDL type B like then? So she asks me what I eat,I tell her. I thwart her every time when she says things like "eat more of this, less of that " So now she gets the picture. She then says that it must run in my family and says it looks like its meds then for me. I then say what about Niacin? She says hmm not so good. Ok what about Simvastatin? OH that will do it she says, that will lower your LDL. But she says it would be better to try and reduce the levels naturally, well this I think is gonna be a struggle as I dont eat a lot of crap 90% of the time. I do have other things now and then cause I would go fucking mad if I didnt have a treat now and then. Latte's etc are a weakness of mine also. She then took my blood pressure, 120/70, pulse 56. She then did some number crunching and said my total cardiovascular score is less then 3% which is good. So on the one had its bad..... but not that bad after all . I say I am going to get Psyllium husks (lazada) she says thats a good idea, more fibre will help. Then she suggests "red yeast rice supps"? Not heard of them so gonna hit google 555. Then says Fybrogel should also help. Maybe also a thyroid test she says? Not sure about that yet.. Will see. So I came away thinking I can get simvastatin anyway and take one now and then, when i get it start using the psyllium , get some fybrogel and see how it goes.

I don't know your age Knobby but that blood pressure and pulse is pretty damn good! If, and as you say, you eat well and exercise I would suggest there is not much else to worry about. As I said before, there will always be something to bite us on the arse and cause our demise so live for now! Get yourself a nice chicken green curry and a chang and have a think about who to bar fine tonight! 1 Knobby reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get yourself a nice chicken green curry and a chang and have a think about who to bar fine tonight! Am a little disappointed with the BPM as it goes . 56.... hmmm I did have it at 42bpm at one time. Next time I am in Boots will see how much for simvastatin and grab some fybrogel , will try the herbal shop to see what read yeast they got also. I dont wanna go over board with these but try a little at a time and maybe alternate them? Yea she also said lattes etc are no good.... well fuck !!! I gotta have some treats or i will go fucking mad 555 1 taaseesanuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
