I had a follow-up this morning with my dr for some bloodwork I did last week. Awe.some. After stopping horrmonal b/c, my cholesterol has dropped 17mg/dL and is at 178 now (Diabetics are recommended to be lower than 170). My tryglicerides dropped from 90 to 69, HDL went up from 66 to 72, VLDL down from 18 to 14, LDL down from 111 to 92. Awesome. Awesome enough, in fact, that she’s going to let me stop taking my statin for a month to see if my vertigo goes away. If it does, she wants to switch me to Crestor (though I might fight that), if it doesn’t I’ll be seeing an ENT.
My hbA1c went down to 6.9, too (had gone up to 7.1 and anything above 7 annoys me).
I’m super pleased with my results.
