Bugger all info on mine! I have copies of all correspondence between consultant and GP but nothing on app.
I can see all my test results data under GP health record - Test results
Thanks, I have loads of tests, and loads of ‘no comments’ I think the nurses may have been interviewed by the Police

I can see all of the ones that my GP has too. ISTR I had to get access to these enabled by my GP practice ages ago (it only seems to need doing once).

same, a lot of mine also have ‘no comments’ 
Thanks to gthang for suggesting this. Was in M&S today and picked up a tub.
It tastes great on a slice of wholemeal toast (thinly spread, of course).
Would be even better with some jam, but should I…
Yeah, probably. Just a little.

Leaving dietary concerns aside for a moment, I’ve been reflecting on more serious matters. For the first time in my life, i find myself feeling genuinely fragile, in the sense that the ageing process is becoming apparent to me. Of course, my own mortality has not come as any surprise, but I have started to understand the difference between knowing and understanding. This isn’t simply an exercise in taking action to maybe live longer, it’s about living better, creating better memories for those around me. Many years of chronic depression/anxiety has sucked the joy out of me, to an extent I hadn’t fully appreciated - but others definitely have. So many of the things that used to light my fire are so far behind me that I can’t even see them in the rear view mirror any more. This was brought home to me this afternoon, when I suggested we all go out somewhere. Mrs horace asked what I had in mind, and my mind was a blank. The real kicker came when she then asked where I’d go and what I’d do if I could go anywhere and do anything I wanted. The sad truth is that even my dreams have faded - I couldn’t think of anything.
Fucking bollocks to that. What’s the point in worrying about blood pressure, diet, exercise and all of that, if you’ve no idea why you’re even bothering any more?
Modern life is shit, and I’m an idiot.
Some serious soul-searching is called for. I need to reconnect with the carefree, headstrong young wanker I once was, rather than the miserable old wanker I could so easily become.
There’s no diet for that. And no medication either.
Once again, I thank the fucking fuck for my sense of humour. I wouldn’t even have got this far without it.
Maybe this is the time to start writing the novel that everyone apparently has in them.
Had fish and chips tonight. Any guilt was offset by the overnight oats waiting for me in the morning.

This is so true. Getting the balance right between not listening sufficiently to doctors and spending too much time with them is what matters. Of course there are doctors and doctors. The good ones understand that quality of life matters more than stretching existence out to the absolute maximum extent.

Is taking on a young mistress out of the question? It’s done wonders for our French and Italian aging friends over the years.

Would perhaps do me good.
But then again, no.
In any case, my pulling power is somewhat diminished right now. I’m just imagining the conversation with Mrs horace that includes the suggestion of an open marriage.
I’m laughing, crying and cringing simultaneously.

I’m not sure I mentioned discussing it with your better half… that won’t end well

We’re so used to one another these days that a rolling of the eyes and a quick ‘You feeling OK?’ is the most likely response 
I probably have work to do there, too…

Off the back of this thread I got a blood pressure monitor, as im early 40s now and since doing shift work have put weight on.
Thankfully the first few days of measurements are all in the green area.

Over the last 10 days or so, I have lost 4.8lbs in weight.
To be frank, I’m not entirely convinced as to the reliability of my Huawei smart scales, but the trend is definitely downwards.
I guess the first pounds are the easiest pounds, and i probably need to think about getting a better scale, but I’m taking that as a win.

Well done 
Thanks. I’m a legend.
Or summat.
Do those new fangled smart scales really tell you anything useful beyond how much you weigh?
I’m sceptical, though largely ignorant.
All those seemingly little but sustainable tweaks make a difference.
