The blonde aches & pains thread

[tikay]

I also have 6 Prescribed Medications, Lansoprazole, Bisoprolol Fumurate, Aspirin, Atorvastatin, Jardiance & a new one, just started, Clopidogrel.

Clopidogrel

You've made that one up

[tikay]

tbf, it does sound made up.

Probably has some Latin or Greek roots.

I have bruised big toenails. I just thought they were a symptom of approaching middle-age. I'll try some walnuts.

I also take 5/6 assorted tablets, inhalers etc. daily, to keep me ticking over.

"approaching middle age"....

Good try Ralph, but you were never getting that through.

🤣🤣🤣

Terry's chocolate orange doesn't count.

I'm bang in trouble then

Sometimes I really despair at how rubbish our NHS can be.

Here's the highlights of my conversation with the Practice Diabetic Nurse 2 days ago-

ME-Why have I still not been referred (for 2 years) for my 1st Annual Diabetic Eye Test? My Optician says I now have cataracts and possible optic nerve damage
Nurse. Because you are not Diabetic. Your last reading was 41-that's pre-diabetic
Me: No, it's not. My reading before was 100, and I have been on Metformin, prescribed by you, for the last 2 years
Nurse. Sorry, that's my mistake. I'll sort it. I can see from your notes that you had a reading from a blood test supplied via us in 2024 of 100. Tell me-why did you never action the diagnosis of diabetes via a Reading of 92 from your last GP Practice in 2017?
Me: I'm guessing that is because, before today, nobody has ever told me about that 2017 diagnosis/result? For 9 years! Or told me I was Diabetic for 7 years
Nurse: Oh, dear...

Good job I haven't got high blood pressure

I think high blood pressure is a given for Arsenal supporters of a certain age.

Mine's being reviewed this week.
