I've been really busy in the past month. Going from one doctor to another, gathering second opinions on everything. Well, not everything! Just a gastroenterologist, hematologist, gynecologist....did I leave someone out?
It's quite ridiculous actually. I blogged about this a while back and the drama continued. I went to the GYN for the pain in my groin...ultrasound....nothing.
General doctor pursued the "pain" through a CT, with and without contrast. Enlarged spleen, enlarged liver....hematologist isn't concerned...let's watch it. Three months later another CT...same results as before with "fatty liver" thrown into the pot. Back to gastro who also isn't terribly concerned..my liver enzymes are good but he wants me to get some blood tests done again (I'll do that this week)....he said that a liver biopsy would give me a definitive answer. Do I want a definitive answer? No!
So, I went to a workshop for school and the bloodmobile in the parking lot captured my attention. I'd been rejected for blood donations so many times because of the anemia. Ok, I'll try! I told the woman not to be disappointed and that I'd probably not have an acceptable iron level even though my intestines are healed. WHOA! Could ya just? She put my blood into the centrifuge, spinned it, and wow. It's a go!
As instructed I called the automated line a week later for my cholesterol level. 192! Not my level! I've never been over 130! That 192 just adds insult to injury. I watch everything like a hawk so that I stay gluten free....so I can avoid anemia...and now, I need to watch what I eat to help my cholesterol level reduce???
Oh by the way, the "PAIN" that sent me to my GYN in the first place is a hernia and I'll have surgery to repair that on June 17th. Outpatient, local anesthesia, and twilight. Home in 3 hours. Can't wait!
Did I say depression? Yes, after all this and more, I have just had it! They say that after the big "50" it's all good? Did you hear that too? In my rational state I know that I'm healthy and that life is good. I just need to keep reminding myself that the glass is half-full. It's just hard to believe it right now.
Do you have cholesterol issues? Any suggestions to help reduce it? (Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut oats are a part of my morning now.)
I need a hug!

((((((((((((((((HUGS!!!)))))))))))))))))))) To Faye!! Faye, you aren't alone! I'm only 30 and I've had a high cholesterol problem for several years and I really need to start taking care of it better. It runs in my family (my 97 year old great-grandma has high cholesterol -- which has probably made me not be as serious about it as I should be) But I'm really going to get back in gear about taking care of myself. I already eat a lot of oatmeal and I also eat chia seeds and flax seeds on a regular basis which are supposed to be very good at helping to lower cholesterol levels. I would love to hear what you plan on doing!! You are definitely not alone!
Hi Faye, Yup, you are definitely not alone... I always had low cholesterol levels until I went gluten-free -- because my intestines weren't absorbing the cholesterol. When my intestines healed, my cholesterol levels shot up. If you're interested, take a look at an article I wrote that describes other side effects of the gluten free diet. (For example, you have to pay attention to your vitamin status.) Another important way to keep cholesterol levels down is to exercise.
Carrie and Nancy,
Thanks so much for responding and for the hug. I sat here and cried, thinking about how "proud" I was for so long because MY cholesterol was the lowest in my family. Go me! NOT! Reading your response Nancy made me realize that I've had a low level since I was in high school. OUCH! I started watching and I'll report my progress.
Faye
Dear Sis,
I'm so glad you reached out to others for help and support. That is what is so great about your blog. You get to go "public" and then, lo and behold, you get virtual support from all corners!
As for me, since I'm following in your Celiac footsteps, I guess I beter have my cholesterol checked now, huh?!
You'll be fine, because that is who you are. You grab life by the scruff of its' neck, and you live it. Yay for you indeed!
Wow, kind of weird but mine has gone higher too! I eat really healthy too!
How is that herb garden coming?
Hugs from Delray! Let yourself be sad for a bit, you're going through a lot right now. Sometimes you've just got to let the blues run their course. You'll feel better again before you know it.
And thanks for reminding me to get my cholesterol checked, too! Mine's always been low, maybe now I know why...
~Li
I am on Lipitor but to be honest I keep forgetting to take it...otherwise it seems you are already doing what you need to do...I know, it is crazy. HUGS Hang in there!!!!
