That's a new record for me, as I think I said earlier.
Got the results today.
Keep in mind that before I lost the weight, I was taking tons of pills for all kinds of medical conditions, all related to my weight.
I am now taking zero pills! None, Nada, no dope!
My BP was almost normal (just a bit high).
My other tests were all well within the normal range. I have never been normal, so this is a real experience for me.
The only test my family doctor doesn't like, is my cholesterol, which is high. So, he gave me some pills to take for 6 weeks until I can take another cholesterol test. I am hesitant to take them, and will resist if I can justify the risk, versus the rewards.
I hate Statin drugs. They probably were responsible for me gaining weight a few years back. They made my joints ache, and they still do. I will never take them again. Never!
Now according to the reports on this other drug, there is really no way to determine if it is working. That is because the results don't show up on any tests. Also, it came back a few months ago, that they weren't even sure the stuff did anything.
So, now I will begin a search for a new family doctor that is more interested in me, than in supporting the drug companies.
He better not mention chocolate......

Me too - so much blood, so little time! Down to 2 meds from 7, and that's as good as it will get. Also feeling the cold more than ever this year, but I guess it is the price of losing weight? I hope we get better at that, as I don't want to move South!
Hang in, hang on, and keep going, Lee.
