[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1220279, member: 211362"] and speaking of cholesterol.... I'm in the %$#@ again with it as just found out today after posting above that it is high again. Total was 6.8 but the LDL was 4.8 (went up which isn't good) with HDL of 5.5 (went down which isn't good) :o I'm not impressed. I was expecting a bad result though as my diet hasn't been exactly healthy since I've eliminated a lot of healthy things I used to eat from my diet thanks to trying to avoid more pain my bladder condition and IBS (yep both are sensitive and react to food and drinks). I tell you what it is an absolute pain trying to eat for multiple conditions. I've been placed on a statin as of today... I'm fortunate I wasn't put on it sooner though. All the others in my family with high cholesterol have been on statins for years and I always managed to avoid it and I have the lowest cholesterol readings usually. But back in 2005 when they were wanting to put me on it I didn't qualify as I was always under the limit to get the drug subsidised.
