Good afternoon dear Tau Tau
@Taurisk.
I think the main problem was that for some reason I quit taking my daily Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar.
Also last week, I had to cook for the shearer friends, smoko and lunch.
So rather far too many carbs and sugar, which I normally avoid like the plague.
Plus I quit my Vitamin D's, am back on them now.
I will keep my eye on things, as a last resort I will see the GP. I try not to as they just want to prescribe more damn drugs.
I prefer natural remedies, wherever possible.
I have a suggestion, we are with Westfund for medical health insurance.
They are over East and not many have heard of them. I found them by doing a Canstar search.
The thing is, they are a not for profit organisation (I have no idea why).
We did have the full package with all the bells and whistles, but when husband had heart problems and needed a stent and other treatments.
The nurses at the hospital persuaded him to just go through medicare, as he would have the exact same treatment, same room etc.
This was true. I had a very large claim in my first year and they were so helpful and friendly and paid up instantly with no hassle.
My husband does see his heart specialist twice a year, we had a full refund, but looking at the big picture we decided to cut back to a basic plan which is around $110 per month for us both in total.
This covers many things, including ambulance which is around $450 a pop I think. I used this twice one year when I thought I was dying, but it was a massive panic attack.
Dental, glasses, heaps of other things but not the heart specialist which is a few hundred twice a year.
Any hospital emergency I feel is not a problem. Obviously knee replacements etc would be on a waiting list or you need to pay, very expensive.
So for us, we are very happy with them.
It doesn't cost you extra to move from one fund to another, heedless of age. So perhaps take a look online at their cover.
You are probably 10 times fitter than me honestly, as I have spent a great deal of time over the last couple of years being far too stressed, which makes me seize up totally.
I need to change this urgently before my little grandchildren arrive to live here from England.
I do still enjoy a few glasses of wine every day, I am not giving that up though.
So you take care of yourself.
