Doctor's opinion of me

[TrudieC]

I just received copies of letters from my rheumatologist to my GP.  I am happy to announce that he finds me a well developed and slightly overweight young woman.  I am actually pleased!  Especially when MedHelp considers me obese!  Better than a fat, middle aged woman.  Thought I'd share that with you guys.

The difference between and real doctor and the internet is that the real doctor can calculate ur body fat and mass , rather than u just giving the computer a figure ,

oh just incase you didnt no some muscle men and rugby players who are not fat and have lots of muscle are also considered obese

I remember once reading in a Rheumy report that I wasn't compliant on something ... she actually had a checkoff list next to each area .. the non-compliance had to do with the Pediatrician and Rheumy disagreeing on a course of treatment so I stopped that particular med temporarily... it's always great to read these reports.  I usually always try to ask for a copy of the narrative!!!

Congratulations Trudie........ Don't you have to wonder about that sometimes?  My cardiologist said I was "a little overweight", but not bad and I don't have to lose as much as I think I do, but all the calculations say I'm so close to being obese, it isn't funny......

Keep up the good work............
