Normal Cholesterol levels!

Dec 03, 2009

My cholesterol levels have worried me for years.  I have hypertriglyceridemia, so my triglyceride levels were always really high.  When I wasn't taking medicine for it they were over 800!  I always felt that this alone would end my life prematurely.  Many in my family died from heart disease, I figured that was my fate too.  Well what a happy day it was to get a letter in the mail with my most recent cholesterol results.  When I saw the letter  I immediately knew it was good news because I didn't receive a call from my PCP.  I had always received my lab results via telephone in the past.  All my levels were absolutely perfect!  Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and even my triglyceride levels!  Ever since my fist cholesterol test when I was 18 they have been really bad....this is so amazing!  I can't believe that it happened so fast!  I am writing this because I want to remember what a good feeling it is to have hope for my future.  I never want to take this opportunity for a healthier life for granted.
