Flea, I'm there with you. I'm convinced this is genetic. I may push back and ask for a more detailed workup on my next blood test, because the regular test doesn't break out the different kinds of LDL.

Shit, I still need to get my follow-up cholesterol test. It's been 6 months, so I should see if oatmeal, roasted veggies, green smoothies, and that goddamn elliptical machine have made any difference. (I seriously only need my total cholesterol to drop 9 points any my doctor will be happy. It's not like my cholesterol is 500 or anything. [True story: one of my aunts once had a triglyceride level into FOUR digits. For real. 1,000-something. Go Langs.])

Just catching up. Aims, my sympathy to you, MM, and Em. What a difficult situation. Hugs.
ita, I wish you relief and better doctors.

Also, I'm living proof that you can TOO be a skinny, reasonably active person with bad blood numbers!
You already are eating right. I got mine down to borderline with oats but never further. If you don't have any other related health issues, then my totally non-doctor opinion is that this may be your body normal. The doctor has to make the suggestions; he would be irresponsible if he didn't. But I wouldn't go crazy with denying yourself.

Nice visitor!

It is my anniversary today, which means it is also JZ's birthday, I think! Happy birthday JZ!
My DH is in Maputo, so I am celebrating by taking two 5-year olds to a swim lesson and ordering pizza at the pool.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy anniversary, Sparky!
I am geography-ignorant and had to Google Maputo, and... wow. That's quite far away and quite a place. Is he at the UN meeting that's going on there right now, or on other business?
I'm celebrating by going to work, which I have to get dressed for any minute. Possibly the red dress. Then this afternoon Matilda's circus camp student show, then a splitting-the-difference dinner for all of us with my dad (his birthday was yesterday and Hec's is tomorrow).

Happy anniversary to the Sparky couple!
Happy birthday to the lovely JZ!

Because books.
Happy anniversary, Sparky! I will also have to look up Maputo, though.
Happy birthday, JZ!

Today is also my mom and step-dad's anniversary. 27 years. She and my dad were married 39 years before he passed away. He always said he wanted equal time. I hope he gets his wish. Honestly, I know that my mom would not be around to celebrate her 93rd birthday this summer if she hadn't remarried after she was widowed. I'm so grateful for him. Wish my siblings would get that! Get over it already sibs, he's not dad. And yes, it apparently is going to last.
