Although I must be aging quicker as there's other things changing in a negative way. Have I really crested the hill at 40? Downhill to the end?

Hah! I like it sooo much.
BTW with all my doctors I've got the age thing going on but I've had the male issue for longer. What I mean by this is all.the GPs I've seen about genuine and troublesome issues I get fobbed off. One common family condition resulted in my sister going to a military hospital for several types of scan "to just check we don't miss anything, not really needed but if you want we can do it". I got told I was making the symptoms up because my husband has that condition and doesn't get those symptoms. The only two differences was gender and my symptoms were extreme but my sister was.just getting a bit worse than normal headache.
Other issues I used to get the distinct impression the doctor didn't believe me. I got the impression that being late20s at the time, 6'5" tall, slim but athletic build and a.regular exerciser meant I couldn't be ill. Conversely now I'm mid 40s doctors are just about starting to take notice of things. Currently waiting for blood test results and I needed a gp appointment to get them instead of the usual call up.and get them I used to get.
It's all a big joke really so that's why I love that sketch so much. If you don't laugh you'd get pi$$ed off.
PS I really don't get the insistence of strict adherence to age related best practise being insisted on by GPs and secondary provision when family history and actual symptoms indicate investigation with a £10-15 test might be worth it. BTW I.know about the cheap test because a family.friend is a senior consultant in.the field and convinced my.generation of the family to go to the gp over this. I'm the only one with.symptoms but the only one.not to.get the test done. I.was the youngest but only by 2 years. We were all told this test is only done on 50+ year olds or more likely 60+ year olds the others got it done.
People tell.me that whenever I go to a gp I should really play up on the severity of symptoms just to be taken seriously and get the same treatment as everyone else gets. I think it's because I love outdoors activities, don't eat too much, eat healthy, exercises at a level above the recommended to keep fit/healthy but not too much that I'd over train or get injuries. Looking and being very healthy has it's negatives.
