    My GP has said when I reach 40 I will have to take Aspirin

    I have been to see my GP today after worrying over higher than normal readings - got a 9.5 this morning after nothing to eat or drink since last night (about 9pm).

    Wow, so many different thoughts. Thanks to all who posted. Am still unsure although have been taking 200 per day. Not sure if this is contributing to my stomach problem (sounds like it could be). Anyone know if this relates to constant headache????? Once these have finished I think I will...

    Am I the only one who binge eats?

    Sorry I'm late lol. I frequently binge for days on end and then end up eating nothing for days - I know it's really bad but I just can't help myself. Also indulging on the alcohol front :( Do try but with other health issues ( mostly constant pain) it does make it really difficult. Did have...

    blood pressure

    I went to my doctor with consistent headaches and BP was checked - only reason I knew about it. Don't think there are any other symptoms (although low BP you can feel dizzy). Not sure if this helps but get yourself checked if you are worried :)

    Anyone not having the 'flu vaccination?

    I had mine yesterday and will continue to have them over the many years to come and it protects meas I am more at risk. When my childrens get flu it usually means I will to and will feel much worse than they do and then I can't look after them. I would recommend it but the choice is yours :)

    How old were you at diagnosis?

    Hi bubble and welcome. I was dx about 2 months ago and felt exactly the same as you to the extent that I ate a whole bag of midget gems to myself and then had to test (it was 13.9) so then realised that I do need to be careful and still have bad days so dont upset yourself too much when your...
