[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're both in our early 50s. He won't even get a basic checkup with bloodwork, and when I've tried to convince him to just do it already, get basic bloodwork done so he at least knows his cholesterol level (he's a foodie and will enjoy foods that raise cholesterol level), he won't. When I went for a colonoscopy and said he needs to do the same thing at our age, he shrugged it off as said it's my "thing," as if he's another species and these human concerns aren't his "thing." He desperately needs a hearing test and said his hearing is just fine, doesn't see a concern, it's all on me to speak louder. Eye check? His sight is fine, that's my issue. I'm at my wit's end and have come to the conclusion he can handle his own health his way. Anyone else in the same boat? [/quote]

This doesn’t sound so bad to me. My dh is a massive hypochondriac and it can be exhausting. He is always at the doctor. Every mole must be cancer. Every cold might be pneumonia. Any blood test that comes back as not totally optimal means he might need to go to the ER (even though the doctor isn’t concerned enough to reach out).
