**Only ONE area (of three pages of labwork), was "out of range" --- HDL (the good cholesterol)**
Area of Concern Labs from 4/1/11 3/14/12 (8.5 months postop)
Fasting Glucose 80 75 (yeah!)
LDL (bad cholesterol) 146 116 (yeah!)
HDL (good cholesterol) 28 37 (boo!)
Total Cholesterol 185 171 (yeah!)
TSH 1.90 2.87 (boo!)
- Vitamins D and B12 are both normal, but I do have to continue to take 50,000 IU once/week to keep the D level up. Iron level is good!
- I had an ultrasound of my thyroid to check the size of the nodule that was there prior. It is still there (0.6 mm) but has not increased in size. Good!
- Another ultrasound - this one was of my nether lady parts - the ovarian cyst that was "watch and see" is gone. No gyn concerns at all. Good!
What's changing?
-start taking fish oil to help the HDL get to a higher number
-increase dose of thyroid medication to get TSH down to 1.0
Great news!!! I'm excited to go back and find out how much my levels have changed in a year.
