Been a year and a month since my brain fart ( stroke ) ..
Had my yearly check up yesterday....
Guess what.. As predicted all that came of it was:
Bloodwork is normal
All functions such as kidnets etc normal
I am over weight ( normal LOL !!!)
and my BP is high..... Which I think is a bit of a joke really
Why ?
Cos for a year I have diligently popped the pills prescribed to reduce bp
For the first 6 months they made my life a misery because they caused a cough..
After repeated visits they got that sorted and kept changing the pills..
For all the good they have done I might as well have been eating smarties !

Good to hear most of your shit is normal. Red wine, onions and garlic will get your BP down, as will Puerh tea although the earthy taste is not everyone's, um, cup of tea. Love the stuff, me.

I'm really gonna miss the healthcare out here when I come back home. According to the NHS, I need to lose between 7 and 29 kg, which is absolute bollocks. I'm so glad I have private health insurance cos the NHS is as fucked as it useless.

Only problem is, I cannot stand garlic or red wine..Looks like my after dinner mints had better be onions then !

Try Puerh tea. Might surprise yourself. Usually comes in a cake of 357g, bizarre but true, and can run from a few quid up to near four figures depending on grade and age. I love the bitter after taste as it reminds me of dark chocolate and kills my craving for the stuff.
