Unfortunatly yes I have medical check ups all the time due to a kidney condition I have a normal check up plus blood tests. Im in the UK so we dont pay for our national health service (well except for a percentage out of our wages but i dont work at the moment while caring for my children)
If I didnt have a life term kidney condition I probably wouldnt go that often for a check up only when the doctor requested it once a year maybe

Hi there Kezabelle!
I'm sorry to hear that and I hope that you'll be perfectly well.
My aunt, who's living in the United States has a problem with her kidney too. She's waiting for her transplant actually. She gets dialysis twice a week. That kept her from visiting us here in the Philippines this summer. I miss her so much.
Thank you very much for your response.

I am sorry about your health concerns. I understand you have kidney problems right now. Well, I think my body max index is ideally out of range for now while my cholesterol is high. I am still concerned about my iron levels, due to my donating blood to the Red Cross. I always go to my doctors for regular medical check ups.

I had a full physical last year and the next one is due in August. Our insurance covers it so we only have to pay a copay of $20. As far as I'm aware my last one was good, no issues to worry about.

I go to the doctors regularly to get check ups. I even need to have lab works and other tests to get any diagnosis. When I do feel sick, I should go to the doctors to get meds. I think healthcare costs went up, due to economy being in horrible shape. My cholesterol, I think, is still high. I once had my mole on my back removed, put in a sterile liquid in sterile container to be tested for cancer. But I do not have cancer at all. Good thing. My body max index is out of ideal range still, I think. This summer I go back to my doctor for regular medical check up.

Hi there Jake!
I think it's great that you go for regular chaeck-ups so you're aware of your health status and you can do what you should. My mother used to have high cholesterol too so now she's on maintenance medication and she's really careful about what she eats.
Thank you very much for your response and hope that everything will be well on your next check-up.
