179. MY "OBESITY RELATED CLAIMS" FROM 2003
Edited on Fri Dec-26-03 01:39 PM by Bertha Venation
Here are the reasons I visited the doc in 2003:

1. arthritis in my spine -- hereditary

2. Hepatitis C (try to link that to obesity)

3. blood-pressure spike -- a new doc had me on an anti-depressant that can cause hypertension; changed the medication, BP went down

My heart, on which I had four surgeries in infancy, is fine. This was proven by the extensive workup by my new cardiologist after the BP spike. No trace or hint of diabetes in me. As for "etc., etc. . . ." -- what ailments does your crystal ball tell you I have?

Ryan, in your infinitesimal world, is any medical claim by an obese person automatically "obesity-related?"
