Of all times I did not write down the date, what I normally do. But counting out the weeks I think I did it before the test.
I am 69 and at that age the doctor supplies you with all the drugs to keep your body in shape and he tells you you have to take them the rest of your life.
I try as much as I can to follow Andreas Moritz 's advice, but the old fashioned part in me still likes to get the tests done. I must say my doctor was very nice, he wrote several alternatives down instead of regular prescription drugs.
I asked, you are not mad and he said no, after 30 years I will work with the patients.
