Obviously nothing has worked yet. I'm sure he'll get a joy out of a basketball message board giving him a suggestion to look into. 🤣🤣🤣 thanks again! Hey, being in my current position because of a chance meeting between 2 former co-workers who didn't know one another in a military dental clinic, anything is possible 🙂 And you're welcome... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Had a checkup this week. 60 days into a significant lifestyle change and my BP was 128/80. It was 160/120 when they put me on a med. Hopefully I can start to ween off soon. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 160/120 when they put me on a med. Hopefully I can start to ween off soon. A few years ago I was having trouble getting a reading on my home BP monitor. I decided to go to a walk in clinic to have it checked. When they took the reading it was 240/135. They sent me directly to the hospital where it took three hours to get down enough so I could go home. I didn't have a headache or any other pains. I still don't know why it spiked and it has never happened since. The attending doctor wrote in the notes that I had a headache even though I told them every time they asked that I did not. It was disconcerting to say the least. The worst part still is not knowing why. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst one I ever received was back in the day of samples. Due to my name being generally regarded as a female name, (it's a Scandinavian men's name) I received a sample box of Tampons. Came in handy when my daughter was visiting and she started her period! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already had the other ones, so skipped the latest. It’s nice that we don’t have to take a COVID test this time to get back to the USA. That’s always kind of worrying at the end of the trip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Just wanted to recommend a great podcast about health and food. It covers a lot of topics that have come up in many conversations on HSN. In particular about how the medical industry has a vested interest in not curing, but rather managing symptoms. It's not only the medical industry, but the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. (no surprise to many) A lot of curing come in the form of what we eat. This is not just curing obesity - it's diabetes, depression, chronic pain, etc. There was a stat that said something like: the average American consumes 90 lbs. of sugar a year. Think about how much inflammation that causes in the body. And we wonder why COVID hit a huge part of our population so hard. There's just a lot of fascinating information here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
