Had my 3 month follow up with the PCP today to see how the Crestor was doing. He wanted the LDL to come down, well it sure did, 119 to 84. The total number dropped too, but my HDL (the supposed good cholesterol) is still at the very low limit. Now my Triglycerides were the third highest they’ve bee in the 12 years I’ve been keeping track.
Doc said, “I’ll chalk up the triglycerides up to holiday eating.” “Yeah, this is the worst time of the year for a cholesterol check,” I said. His reply was, “I don’t know about where you are, but around here you couldn’t turn a corner without something to eat. And I was killing it.”
Damn Peppermint Bark!
