@bavarianbarbarian I had covid once and it was the worst I have ever felt in my entire life, and I was ill for almost three weeks. I know a lot of people for whom it was similar to a cold or a flu. I was not that lucky. I can't fully express how bad I felt, but know I am someone with a very high pain tolerance. (Up to my teenage years, I was ill a lot and had a couple near death experiences). I really do not want to experience covid like that again. Also I travel a lot, so I am exposed a lot, and vaccines have been statistically on the safe side. I will get a flu shot too at some point for the same travel related reason. 路 1 month ago
@danrl that's the idea. I am at an age where these check ups are more necessary, however I also want to be a bit healthier as in the past few years I have neglected it a bit. 路 1 month ago
@melyanna glad to hear that the gods have been with you :) but i have a serious question, why for the sake of Odin did you take covid vaccine? that stuff was not even really tested (my mom works in the pharma, new meds need years to be allowed to be on the market). i had covid twice and a cold is much more worse, in my case. 路 1 month ago
welcome back!
never hurts to take a look at the blood work lab results and the year over year trends. for me, it was a motivation to live a little bit healthier. 路 1 month ago
@melyanna Glad you're well and over the worst of it :) 路 1 month ago
@danrl @martin @bavarianbarbarian thank you for the well wishes, and apologies for disappearing on you. I got more tests done (blood work, maybe I was inspired by danrl) and I should be done this year. I did get a horrible cold and a strong reaction to my covid vaccine, so the past few days I had no energy. But I am fine. :) 路 1 month ago
ok, bragging time :) they pulled 7 small capsules of blood for whatever tests are needed. i did not faint (good) and i got a dinosaur patch to cover the pinch hole (even better). im in my forties, but i think they could tell i have yet to grow up. the dinosaur patch made my day. lol.

I wanted to wish you good luck, but I'm even happier that I see I wouldn't have needed to. Good news that everything's good! 路 2 months ago
best wishes to you, i need a check up too, one of my eyes has a major malfunction. no fun at all.... 路 2 months ago
@drh3xx @danrl @johano thank you so much! It appears that I am holding up well and in good health. Cramming several check ups in one morning was very convenient, but I felt like a lab rat at some point 馃槀 路 2 months ago
