Those numbers are not so bad, except for the LDL. Mine is around there, too. How are your triglycerides? The total is only a tiny bit high....how many hours did you fast? I always notice 10 vs. 12 hours seems to matter, and also whether my last meal before the fast was high in sat fats...
Was that a typo.....? I know you know that HDL is better the higher it is...over 50 at least is what many docs look for in women. If yours is 99, way to go! I need to get mine past 39, but with my laziness toward exercise and carrying so much extra weight, it's unlikely (used to be 55+ years back, before I was fat). It's my triglycerides that are so worrisome...creeping closer to 300 now :-( Fish oil in high doses and dietary changes refuse to touch it any more. Niaspan at high doses slightly helped for a while, then pooped out. Dr wants me on Tricor but so far I am resisting another med. It worries me but apparently not enough to lose weight. :-(
I know you are a healthy weight so you may be fighting genetics with the cholesterol. Sucks.
sorry,bleauberry....I'll stop hijacking now. SO glad you have found what works. I have always learned a lot from you here.
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
