Cataddict.....
why is your cat screaming at you? On topic - I agree with VVFer. I am actually slightly above normal for my cholesterol and LDL, which is freaking me out considering how well I eat. So I understand where you are coming from.

I love having quick access to my results. I'm one who worries when things take so long, so this puts my mind at ease. It's funny because I'm one to obsess over other things, but I don't really obsess over my numbers. As long as everything is normal, I'm ok. But I agree that you should discuss with your doctor the things that worry you.
This post reminds me that I should have my blood tested. It's been a while and I've been feeling "off" lately. eta: I didn't realize that it had only been a year since my last tests. I thought it had been much longer. I'll hold off on tests/dr visit, in that case, but be aware about how I'm feeling and then decide from there. |

Yes, I do pay attention to the cholesterol numbers since genetics plays a part in those. The OP is fortunate if those numbers are within the "normal range". It just occurred to me that I recall seeing my grandmother's written test results from back in the 1980s and her cholesterol was 276 and apparently that wasn't considered an issue. So it appears that what is considered "normal" definitely can change over time. |
