How do you define 'Health'?

I'm perfectly healthy, and my doctor certainly would describe me as a strong healthy young man compared to a lot of the cases he sees on a day to day basis.

I do have some issues.

I'm a couple of stone overweight, but not such that it affects my 'health'.

I have a couple of old physical injuries (mainly motorbike inflicted), but nothing that affects me day to day.

I'm asthmatic, but that's 'always there' something I've had day in day out for years, and you learn to manage it and live with it. For me, unless I get a chest infection or a persistent environmental problem, managing asthma is no more difficult than having a shower and going for a poo once a day.

And I'm a bit deaf, combination of loud music, loud exhausts, helmet wind noise and loud datacentres, but again it's another 'always there' and being deaf whilst sometimes inconvenient, doesn't exactly make you unhealthy.

I measure health by how often I have to go to the doctor, and how often I need to take time off work, and that's not very often at all (less than once every 2 years on average). You could be in a wheelchair and not be 'unhealthy' if that's the way you measure it.

Oh, I'm guessing my liver isn't in the best state, but that's self inflicted

I can't complain. Arthritic knee held together with screws and a prayer, right shoulder and elbow frequently ache due to other sport related injuries but I'd say I'm not in bad shape. Go to the gym when limbs allow and the only thing I should/could do something about is my weight. All things considered I'm not in bad shape.

Serious issues since childhood, continued poor health through adulthood and am now getting worse. All fun though, just wish that it did not hurt so much so often!

On a serious note, mental health. It really sucks when that lets me down. But there are too many people to ashamed to say that they have struggled with mental health. So to hell with it, being mental sucks at times, but is hilarious at others!

Love from Jayne

Unfortunately (as you probably know), a lot of mental health issues are misunderstood and many people don't realise they have mental health problems. But that's a reflection on society and how we're not encouraged to discuss feelings etc.

well i somewhat of a contridiction, my doctor says after doing six monthly check up im above adverage on being quite healthy, ie no high blood pressure, colesterol , not overweight etc no real issues.
but if you are taking into account conditions im epileptic , with a low immune system and weak muscles supporting my spine.... my underlying conditions dont have any real bearing on my general day to day health and stay quite active most of the time... so...
does that class me in the healthy or not healthy bracket of first asked question... i personally feel that even with underlying health conditions people can still be as healthy if not sometimes more so than people who are generally classed as no issuesmedically per say

Hmm! I dunno healthy I really am.

I don't get enough exercise, five-a-sides once a week isn't enough, used to swim, 3k 3 times a week.

I also worry myself to death, and being honest I probably take bouts of mild depression, and at the moment I'm smoking like a beagle in a laboratory. (probably linked to the worrying)

More importantly I'm becoming arthritic (god bless my grans genes) my hips kill me the day after the football, It seems as if my right side is broken, my hip, ankle and shoulder all seize and I need to 'pop' them to get them moving again. Strangely my right wrist is ok, must be the amount of use it gets.

But all in I suppose I'm not to bad for being closer to 40 than 30!

Just need to stop the smokes and get off my lazy backside.

I have to disagree Chris, you were always a numpty of the highest order.

Now you are just a numpty who can't remember much.

I did worry that when you pushed me around in my wheelchair last year that you'd then wander off and forget where you'd left me!

But think of the advantages of losing your licence for 6 months - you get me as your chauffer.
