Rooneyboy: In 2011 when I noticed some scary stuffs on my body I was forced to go for series of comprehensive medical checkups till I found a solution; and that experience really taught me something about my health.

Ankara too dey expensive na .....if i die all i need is just one bottle of Hennessy and a packet of Benson with five wraps of weed and i'd be so happy grin grin .........but on a very serious note most Nigerians don't go for comprehensive medical checks ,this is a fact and if anything goes wrong they immediately attach it to one form of spiritual attack or something abstract.

My former company used to carry out annual 'comprehensive' medical tests for staff.

However, I'm not sure what is called comprehensive check-up is comprehensive.

I have had the habit of doing more detailed check-ups for myself. I'm quite health conscious (although my dietary and sleeping habit are not so health-conscious). I try to do check-ups if possible anytime I'm outside Nigeria (for reliability purpose, and also cheaper sef). I also do in Nigeria. I keep eyes on all my major organs - kidney, liver, heart etc. I did renal function test just last week.

I do liver function tests too. I have even done CT scan sef - 2010. I have done ultrascan many times. I do check my heart function as well.

Anytime I suspect anything or feel any unusual symptom, I subject myself to tests beyond GP's descriptions. Maybe because I read a lot about health. I once paid 60k to do colonoscopy (in 2011, I think) because I found blood in my stool. Colonoscopy is examination of one's intestinal tract for an tumour (blood in stool can be a symptom of colon cancer). Nothing was found. Never had blood in stool again since then ( 2 years ago). So it may just be I chop something bad that time.

I do do cholesterol check too. Last one I did was about 2 weeks ago. My ldl normal but hdl just at the lower boundary.

I'm ultra-health conscious. I do a lot exercise as well. Play football every Saturday and Sunday. My major problem is dietary discipline. I eat anything. I also don't take enough sleep, sleep late (no thanks to NL) and wake up early (no thanks to working in Lagos).

When I was in school, for a mere 200 USD med insurance, we were compelled to go through comprehensive med check-up twice annually, including such expensive checks like CT scan, now serving my nation via NYSC with no health insurance programme attached, notwithstanding that corpers are exposed to serious dangers, including snake bites like the Ondo scenario.

You die when you wanna die, our forefathers that lived up to a 100 years, how many of them went tp hospital? It is when you worry too much that you invite complications. As for me I live a healthy lifestyle, I rarely drink don't smoke and watch my sugar intake. I have a serious phobia for hospitals even when given a clean bill of health. As for me 2007.Nothing dey happen, Jesus is my doctor.shikena dats all.

greatgod2012: Some Nigerians!!!
We like work, we like to struggle, we know how to look for money, but never have time for periodic comprehensive medical check-up.
To some, they will say, they dont have time, some, claims no money, some will say they are not sickly, as if its only the sickly that hospital are made for, some will say, its better for them not to know that a particular illness is in their body, to such, its a preventive measure for them, as what one does not know anything about cant make you worry.
However, we should all know these things, its better for us, some ailment are better dealt with if they are diagonised earlier, even, when you are checked-up and the doctors affirm that you are perfectly alright, they wont just leave you to go like that, they will definately supply you with tips that will make you to maintain your good health.
Some usually complain of "no money, but sincerely, its not really expensive, one can just decide to reduce the junks one takes daily and save the money that is supposed to be used on them for six months, and before one knows what is happening, you have even more than what you need for the medical check-up.
Let us all stop the habit of going to hospitals only when we are suffering from one ailment or the other........a stitch in time, save nine, sometimes, even more than nine......
May God help us all.
As for me, i did my own comprehensive medical check-up about two weeks ago, and i was told that im alright, except that ihere is a hole in one of my teeth, of which i was given an appointment of when to come and fill it, which i have done.
So, lets share ours, when last did you go for comprehensive medical check up.
Thanks for sharing.




Please i have been wanting to fill holes in my teeth,Is it very painful and does this takes alot of time?
