Gotcha....
Well, my triglycerides are really low (62) and my HDL is high, but my LDL calculates high as well. So my dr wants me on statins even though ALL my other risk factors put me in the normal to negative risk factor category.
I’d rather not, really. I’ve looked into it some but still need to see if it’s worth the risk of going on statins.
DON’T DO IT. Your numbers are great and you probably have fluffy particles which by the way can be tested. Your doctor is an idiot. /rant off
Actually, for the most part, he’s pretty cautious. He has no qualms about sending someone for tests and he finally figured out that my daughter had chronic appendicitis that way.
She did NOT have the classic symptoms of appendicitis because her appendix was not infected, but it was going and although her symptoms didn’t match he did consider it a possibility.
He’s also been good about referrals to GREAT specialists, and that’s been a big help to mr. mm and dealing with his kidney stones and osteoporosis.
I’ll see how he reacts to this.... He really is pretty reasonable even if he slips into typical doctor mode on occasion.
