I've got good new and bad new!

Well my lab test are in and there is good news and some bad news.

Good News: My CA125 is normal (my sister had ovarian cancer so I get this checked every year as a precaution).

Bad News: I knew this was coming so I am not surprised but at least I now have a starting point.

Cholestrol level : 255 (goal 200)
triglycerides: 183 ( goal 100)
LDL: (bad chol.) 192 (goal 100)
HDL: (good cho.) 48 (goal 40)

I've been off my cholestrol medication for two years because of the cost.....looks like I'll have to get back on it. My Doctor is really good about giving me samples...I'm just not real good at picking them up.

My TSH was 3.2 again a high normal. (This is the tyroid test) Current research shows that it is more effective if the it is in the 1 point range so looks like I'll be having a discussion with my doctor on a number of issues.
