Cholesterol report...
I knew I shouldn't have gone to the doctor.... but I had to in order to stay on the insurance. Went for a physical in April... Just got around to going for blood work this week. And the numbers are in.... LDL (Bad) is 182 Target is <130. HDL is 39. PSA is fine 1.1. So they are recommending medication and diet adjustment. I don't eat badly now! I took myself off the statin meds years ago as it made my joints ache like hell every day. Never looked back. Nor had I been to a doctor since 2008, which is probably why I got 'fired' by my old doctor and had to get a new one... So some of you must be on meds for cholesterol. If so, what are you taking, and are there any side effects you have noticed? I would go without if I had to endure achy joints like that previously prescribed drug caused.
This aging thing sucks physically.... Need a knee replacement. Foot aches, have to get an xray at some point. And today my hip has been sore enough to make me think twice about attempting to hit the rocks tonight.... even after seeing the chiropractor...in October. So I know I am hurting. You young guys and gals better just get out there and do the things you want to do, now, while you are able to.....
