Well, you know me - I prefer not to talk about health issues until they're in the past tense, and this latest one is just now starting to feel like it's resolving ( Read more... )

I had a physical exam yesterday. I didn't have any specific complaints (all my problems recently have been ophthalmological and dermatological, not internal), but I hadn't been to see my GP in over 2 years, and he pretty much insisted that I come in and at least talk to him about my general health ( Read more... )
