I live in a dictator state and I’ve found a few stores that I can comfortably go into without a mask. Please add the businesses you know of too!
- Homegoods/TJ maxx/Marshall’s - simply say you have a medical condition
- Home Depot - safe, employees don’t say anything
- Target - safe, employees don’t say anything
Do you have high cholesterol? and did you know before? Were you taking any drugs if so?
Thx
I do/did have high cholesterol. Been on statins for years. Numbers were normal. Blockage was still building.
Yikes. Good to know thanks. I have genetically "high" cholesterol usually 220-240 total. Don't want to take statins as they make my muscles and bones hurt so much I can't sleep. Trying to avoid any problems without taking meds!
That's pretty high for cholesterol. My last test in Feb had me at 135 for cholesterol. I was on fenofibrate and simvistatin and had all sorts of joint/muscle/ligament problems. Switched over to rouvastatin 6 months ago and almost all of those related issues went away. You should eat as much dark leafy greens and fiber (oatmeal) as possible. You should also go get a calcium heart scan. Non invasive and checks for hard (not soft) plaque. They are cheap to get and most insurance does not cover it (<200.00). It would be well worth the peace of mind to do so.
