Bloodwork
Got my bloods back. Doc runs a real big panel but for this thread, here's the highlight
Non-fasting results:
Total cholesterol: 180
LDL: 85
HDL: 42
Triglycerides: 265 ( non-fasting so I expected this to be somewhat high)
Sed. Rate: 12 (Range 0-19) He does run the Sed Rate each year and it's never been out of range
C-Reactive Protein 0.33 (Range less than 3.00) Had this done about every other year
I asked him about a Statin and he said, Let's see how this BW goes since you're always boarder line on needed it. I see no reason for it at this point. He did mention there's a new Cholesterol lowering med out that will probably be replacing Statins all together called Nexletol. It's easier on the liver and doesn't have the muscle cramping.
