The other day, I went to the hospital (Ysbty Gwynedd) for an x-ray of my knees. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, which is excellent service.

Phone call this morning and I do have osteoarthritis in both knees. I suspected as much. I have a doctors' appointment later this month to discuss the outcome and maybe some treatment. It is likely that I will get a lecture about my weight. So, we'll see.

I second this - i had a doctor who told me my allergic dermatitis was due to my weight.

How did that work? ::is confused::

I was so angry at his weight comment - i think it had something to do with my weight keeping me from exercising which would somehow magically make my skin not break out in hives on contact with certain types of plastic. No, i don't get it either.
