Normal levels of Cholesterol overall: less than 200
Normal Levels of LDL overall: 100-129
My latest blood work:
LDL: 165
Cholesterol: 348
WTF?
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, back to logging every morsel that goes in my mouth and down my throat.
The doctor, who mumbles anyway, was calling me on my cell phone during my eye exam(Lets not even start with my eyes at this time), so I did not hear him very well, but he said something about it could be a side effect of the Humira I take every other week.
I put a call into the Rhemotologist but the office was closed. I looked up the side effects and such and did not find one word about it raising cholesterol and LDL levels.
I looked up some of my other meds and they show nothing related to Cholesterol and LDL.
I have only myself and my mouth to blame probably. The whole time I was unfilled I ate like crap.
The doctor said let's wait three months and do another blood test. I am all for that. I want no more pills.
So I am watching everything now. I can't do much about the physical stressors on my body but I sure can watch what I put in my stomach.
I am kind of glad to get back to logging my foods on CK. I was getting really lazy about it all. Eating and drinking fluids.
I need the obsessiveness I guess of the daily food diary.
So that is where I am off to.
Ta.

I would be saying the same thing with those numbers!!! Did they have you fast for the cholesterol tests? My first test, they forget to tell me to fast and it was in the high 300's. So, the second test I did fast and it came down to 238 .
