Now come on. You know you should.

The mamo is an essential, as is a regular self check! I'm resisting the
temptation to make a comment there other to say *I know* there ain't any
lumps and bumps where there shouldn't be any. :-)

Putting it off ain't wise, as my dearly beloved says it's only a mild
discomfort for a couple of minutes.

Hah! Same here, whenever the GP took out the BP monitor I could already feel
my BP rising. Even when checking at home I could feel this familiar rush in
my veins. My AP was my rescue, she managed to calm me down about the whole
affair, and now I'm able to measure it myself without getting worried. The
results are not exactly what the WHO recommends, but not too bad, as I wrote
before. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with 'White Coat response'.

I take my DH"S for him and found he had the same problem home as well as
the doctor's. I keep telling him it's just a number let the doctor
worry about it not him. Doesn't work? White coat syndrome is alive and
well in most of us.

Oh we don't think he's a bad DH. We think he's a man who forgets that
you are also prone to have things not always up to par. Husbands cannot
cope with a cold, they are always sure they have pneumonia, (ask me how
I know) He still needs a butt persuader every once in awhile.

(some snips)
Of course it's easier. When your not facing someone you can ventilate
with less difficulty.
I'm glad your going back to you AP. Keep an eye on your health forget
about the weight for awhile. It will come off when your ready to deal
with it. You have enough to deal with now.
