    My neighbour took her car into the garage a few weeks ago because her MOT was coming up and she wanted to know what it was likely to cost her. So he gave it a once over, found some problems and charged her £600 to sort them out. I bet the MOT wouldn't have flagged them and the car was driving fine.

    These tests feel a bit like that. You're basically trying to find something to worry about.

    Hopefully just hives, or is it full blown chicken pox [should have got him vaccinated ]?

    Suspected stress fracture somewhere in/around my left knee. Literally just after I completely Couch to 5k – ridiculously frustrating seeing as I'd just got motivated for the first time in more then a decade to do some regular exercise.

    What caused this? Surely an impact injury rather than just running, right?

    No notable impacts on my knee other than regular running for 9-10 weeks. Doctor said it was likely just the result of an accumulation of stress/strain placed on my knee. I know quite literally nothing about the physiology involved, but in short; I did running, it felt great, then something broke and it was no longer possible to run/stress my knee any more. It's been feeling pretty fine now though for a few weeks so I'm going to see if I can ease myself back into running. Was planning to restart a fortnight ago but then Covid intervened.

    Got dragged along to a "health clinic" today in Poland.

    The guy made me hold some metal tube whilst he would touch various points on my hands with some device which apparently showed that my liver and half of my heart isn't doing too well.

    It was apparently clear that I have Lyme Disease and have probably had it since birth or at the very least my early years.

    He claimed that he would find red marks on my chest and back and proceeded to manically look for them and failing to find any.

    He then said I should do, at a minimum, 4 treatments of electromagnetic therapy (I think that's the therapy he said) with each session lasting 4 hours. Apparently it would cure my insomnia, post-nasal drip, slight eczema, reduce my weight and even clear up the sebaceous cyst that I have on the back of my neck.

    Absolute horseshit.

    That's ... either strapping you in a chair and giving you a charge or just rubbing magnets on your back.

    Stupid question alert:

    Does anyone have perfect eyes but still wear glasses? Lol. My eyes have been killing me for the last 2 weeks or so (just in general, not even from looking at the tele/laptop etc) but I went for a test on Monday (£35, thought it was free?!?) and they said my eyes are healthy and there are no issues.

    They feel bruised and as if I’ve been in a no blinking contest and I’ve reached the 2 minute mark and my eyes are desperate to shut. I don’t think it’s hayfever as that just usually makes them itchy and dry and anti histamines haven’t made a difference

    I’ve got tablets for them which are incredibly good when I get them. I thought it was maybe that at first and took them on the off chance but it doesn’t make a difference. I don’t feel sick or anything either which I normally would.

    Everything just feels bright and vibrant.

    If it's been consistent for 2 weeks it's very unlikely.

    My Dad has been quite unwell the last few weeks and I wonder if our experience is similar to others, fantastic service and people to be found in hospital (with one somewhat understandable exception) which could not contrast more strongly with his GP who works about 2 days a week and seemed to have no idea about anything to do with his surgery despite being responsible for his aftercare. It also seems to be weirdly difficult for anyone to see what treatments he had, at one point it was lucky we had brought copies of stuff from his initial operation because they had no idea what he'd been given and were having to phone another hospital (a doctor was literally googling their switchboard number) ahead of the procedure that ended up saving his life. If it wasn't for Mum kicking off and basically forcing him to be admitted his GP would have left him at home while his organs all stopped working.

    NHS systems barely link up at all. It's generally impossible to view information/notes from a different hospital or hospital records from a GP surgery.

    There are definitely good GPs around, but my current job really does make me feel like there are a LOT of dreadful ones.

    When I first went to the Doctors about my headaches, the guy spent 20 mins telling me it was to do with my posture and started showing me stretches he does in between phone appointments.

    You should go into the office (it's you with the covid pearl clutcher right?) and just casually drop a, "well, you won't believe this Angela, but I actually have..." into conversation.

    Unless that would get you sacked. I suppose it also requires sacrificing the WFH golden goose.

    It would get me into a world of shit unfortunately. Not that she would be in the office anyway, so it would have to be a home visit. I could conduct a drive by coughing at lunch.

    Only to the extent that if you know you have it you have to work from home. There's no testing requirement, we just test because my Wife's dad is high risk (as in, can't even get holiday insurance level of risk).
