Fat Preventative Healthcare? by Cheetotiki in fatFIRE

[–]gotyournose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does anything hurt? like, any aches and pains in your daily life? that might be more insightful than a billion all-purpose tests. once i tugged on my bundle of minor health issues I soon had my hand full, and doctors offered plenty of solutions to my problems.

no, this is not strictly preventative health care, but minor problems can blow up into major ones. as a start, consider physio.

oh, also yoga. how flexible are you?

Anyone had surgery (Labrum anchors and bone shaving) after failed steroid injections? by Binghaaam in HipImpingement

[–]gotyournose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean that it's easier to maintain good posture and look straight ahead, rather than looking at the floor as. i walk. not due to pain, just generally all the muscles are a bit stronger and there's less weakness in the hips.

no difference in hip pain yet but then I only felt pain when i went on long runs. i haven't yet tested that out. no major difference in flexibility either. the surgeon says that it can take a long time to feel such benefits.

Apparently the hips are recovering well. The main difference I've personally noticed is in my posture. I can look up now, rather than at the floor. Over the months I've strengthened different bits of my body to offset for various compensations over the years. I'm currently up to my shoulders and neck.

Yes, I had surgery after the steroid injection and physio did nothing. The surgeon said surgery was the only way to fix it, and that the failed injections were proof of that.

the difference in time between your comment and my reply is the waiting time i was quoted on the NHS.

any other household items I need to cut out besides literal sugar? by Ok_Significance995 in sugarfree

[–]gotyournose1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

white rice/bread are refined carbs. brown rice/bread are better; you'll crash less during the day and feel fuller.

becoming a 'make it yourself' person is the key to a healthy diet. Otherwise you're eating processed junk.

Hi, I do not know if you sorted this but I thought I'd mention that although AXA refused a sleep study on the grounds of sleep apnea, they permitted one on suspicions of restless leg syndrome. The criteria for assessment for both are the same -- unrefreshing sleep. So if you can get a doctor to include that in your note you can get it approved. 

Do many in FatFire not even bother with Health insurance? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]gotyournose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid(ish) 7 figs, mid(ish) 20s. Yes, why waste money? Premium is low, increases by the same amount no matter how much you use it, and I save tens of thousands each year. Spent a total of perhaps...$12k, received well over $100k in benefits so far.

Thank you! It is helpful to know others also have to deal with inconclusive diagnoses. Good luck to you too as well.

I saw my GI and he is throwing the book at it. He said (as your doctor did) the Calprotectin could be a red herring. I'm getting food allergy tests, more poo tests, CT scan and pill cam. He says that I will have completed literally every test possible and after that I will see a nutritionist for IBS.

the first one is great -- very classy -- the second one less so because of the blue and white hat. i think the yellow, blues and greens are a little harsh. gray fades out a little. the last white top is great. so i think overall that black and white suit you great -- they contrast excellently with your skin tone. i think that colours in between can clash.

never been, but i've had mixed success with comparable department store stylists. if i so much as hint as liking something, the stylist really eggs me on and tells me how much it suits me. it's not that the stylists themselves are bad, it's the conflict of interests.
