Not been too bad the last couple of years. Had covid last year and a vomiting bug but not been too bad otherwise. Now I've got this fucking cough I can't get rid of. Not too bad during the day but as soon as it's bed time it's cough until you almost retch time.

Not too bad during the day but as soon as it's bed time it's cough until you almost retch time. How long have you had the cough? If it's more than a couple of weeks, I suggest going to see your GP and run tests for lung cancer to rule it out! |

Actually just managed to get one. Got told it's a virus that has perhaps also brought on my dormant asthma. I was only blowing a 480 on meter, should be 600. She said she start my on the blue and the brown and if I feel it makes an improvement I should go back on one. Apparently if you have poor flow it can mean stuff is harder to shift.

We have regular check ups paid for by employers in Spain, just goy my results back from my checkup two weeks ago.
High absolute cholesterol value, but within range if applying the ration of bad:good (high HDL level saves me apparently)
High uric acid, been like that for years, never goes up, never goes down. A doctor once told me that up to 95% of the uric acid level is "fixed" by geneology and can't be influenced by diet, so I gave up trying and accept I'll probably die of gout in pain like Henry VIII.
Loss of hearing of high pitch tones in both ears. That's 34 years riding motorbikes for you.
Apart from that and a cervical hernia which plays up every so often, I'm still more or less OK.
Oh and mountain biking ouchies almost completely healed, 3 months after the event!
Sure your cough isn't long Covid Meeks? You could probably get signed off on the sick for that!

I have the biennial full MOT courtesy of my employer, usually get my bloods checked once a year. Everything checks out ok (I did have lack of Vitamin D, quite normal for us northern Europeans apparently, so I take a daily vit d/multi vit supplement which did the trick).
Got a bit of tendonitis in my left arm (both inner and outer) that's taking a while to heal, bit annoying as it restricts what I can do in the gym. Anyway, mustn't grumble...my fault for continuing to train instead of resting it!

I'm OK I think but I do wish that cunts my age would stop fucking dying. I'm terrified of wanking now incase I take a heart attack or a cancer or something and get found like that. It's all they'd be talking about at the funeral. Can you imagine the humiliation?

Wanking is a young man's game.

Niggly cough and runny nose for ages.
I will cure that with more exercise but my knees are painful following first commute of the year by bike and my walking distance without hip pain is reducing.
I'm fucked.

When you were a young cunt, old cunts gave the yoof a hard time for taking drugs. Now old cunts take even more drugs just to get through each day. We're living too long, need to bring a Logan's Run type ending to the table.

Maybe once you rely on uber quantities of medication it's time to call the co-op. |

I hate the fact I'm stuck on synthetic thyroxine for the rest of my days. It does the job and takes me to normal energy levels but I hate the fact my life quality depends on popping a pill every day.

Arse. COVID again. Two thick stripes on the test this morning. Started to feel a bit shit all of a sudden on Sunday night and a cough started. Currently have dry, hacking cough and aching joints and fever/shivers. Feel shit but not as bad a proper flu. Sort of a halfway house between flu and cold.
