Had to smile...

I’m having a coffee after the weekly shop and thinking back to an article I read recently, and it gave me an ideal response for my next hospital visit in May...

The Endo I visited in October had run out of ‘guidelines’ to follow as I mentioned obvious symptoms on the dose I was already on and told to lower to a further reduction! When I objected he could only tell me then that I was depressed and he would prescribe anti-depressants! I’ve been thinking of where I can tell him to shove them the next time I see him, and now I know!

Jeremy Clarkson has written that no-one who drives an MX5 can be depressed! I drive an MX5...therefore I can’t possibly be depressed! (Especially with the roof down!)

Tail pipe anyone? 😂

Never heard of an MX5. Some sort of very posh disabled buggy? :-P :-D

Seriously, thanks for the comic relief xx

Probably cheaper indeed Hay2016 ! 😂 Definitely more fun involved! As for Jeremy, every once in a while he says something that makes sense! 🤪

I imagine Jeremy Clarkson knows a similar amount about thyroid to your Endo, so completely legitimate!
