Doctor Just Called

Triglycerides over 500. Yikes! What do you do for that?

I suppose I should go ahead and have my heart attack now?

Maybe I mis-spelled tryglycerides? It is cholesterol, and I am probably mis-spelling that too.

That is crazy high, it has been that way for years. I had an unltrasound a few years ago and they didn't see any blockage so - meh?

if it's anything like me, your doc will lecture you for awhile about diet and exercise, you'll give it a shot, nothing will change and he'll give you a scrip for lipitor.

Then you'll have your heart attack anyway & instead of 100 being a good number, it'll be 70 instead. Oh, & Lipitor can be damned expensive too.

They started me out on Zetia several years ago. It gave me bad cramps. Then they put me on Tricor for awhile. It didn't really have any effect so they changed me to Niaspan (sp) last year. Apparently it has less effect than Tricor.

Edit: The doctor gave up on lecturing me years ago.

Don't take Drugs! Try to eat healthy stuff or don't eat at all (or only once a day) if you can't find anything healthy.. Then try to do some exercise 3x a week- like 30minutes.. If you're hungry drink lots of water and have some coffee instead..

And next time... use condoms

You know, I haven't spoken to him in over a month. We had a falling out over a girl - go figure. His dog had a puppy, he said it looked like me and he wanted puppy support. I told him I wanted a paternity test, all I ever got from that dog was oral.

Well, when you asked your doctor that, what did s/he say?

Bacon. Lots of it.

BLT. Filet wrapped in bacon. Bacon and eggs. Bacon wrapped turkey.





Medical answer? Diet. Exercise. Medications. Close monitoring by cardiology peoples.

But... where's the fun in that?

I got my levels from 251 down to 179. Lots of cardio. I want to get revenge on my daughter by spoiling my (future) grandchildren rotten

I once scored 542 on a test for tryglycerides. Then a few months ago I wound up in the VA hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. I dropped from 190 lbs to 138 in 14 days. When we checked my tryglyceride levels again it was 121. I don't suggest having part of your insides taken out like I had to have done or the drastic loss in weight but it seems to have worked for me.
