Who wants to read some good news ? [View all]
Last time I checked in at the DU Lounge, my cholesterol was too high and I was starting a statin drug. Many of you offered help and support, thank you very kindly. I'm taking hemp oil every day now and doing my best to exercise every day.
The good news: Total cholesterol is DOWN to 160, yippee! You want it to be 200 or lower, so I'm very happy about that. Only fly in the soup is, my good cholesterol is only up to 35, when it needs to be 40 or higher. The doc nudged me to exercise daily (doing it), lose weight (trying trying), maybe drink half a glass of wine per night (no thanks), and eat more fish (gladly). He wasn't thrilled about hemp oil (I don't think he had ever heard of it), but he didn't push me to stop it either (good for you, doc).
You have any good news to share ?
