i was never a "Junk Food" eater. guess all the shit i ate's all coming back on me, and PK said " shit you're 40 ya cant expect to be in perfect health you dont have the body you had when you were 20. ya gonna expect some bumps whenyou get older. so yeah

That sux about your cholesterol level being high, and about your thyroid being messed up. But with the right diet and exercise, the cholesterol level can be lowered.

I have had several doctors tell me that my thyroid is "thickened" (not sure what that means). The one doctor said that my metabolism will either eventually be overactive or underactive. I would love to have it be overactive so I wouldn't have to worry about calories so much, but knowing my luck, it will probably go even more underactive then it is now. Oh well, such is life.

if youre taking cholesterol meds, don't drink grapefruit juice with it..you'll get muscle cramping...and it may take some time, but they can regulate your thyroid. You'll be as spiffy as the day you were born

purplerein said:

bleeech i hate grapefruit juice anyway, so im not worried, but yeah i'll be up ta snuff in no time... guess thats part of why i was havin some fucked up moodswings too.

Good luck Steve, it's a bitch being our age huh? take it easy---Brian

MinneapolisFunk said:

nah, not really a bitch, but as we get older and progress we learn new life lessons. so this is how im taking this not as an "age thing" but as a life lesson time to clean that mirror and get it together.

I'm glad you are OK and everything is getting taken care of.

And it sounds like you are in the right frame of mind to take care of business so you can feel good again - physically and mentally.

I'm glad you know what's going on. You'll get better now!

Whew!

And, I also will take some of those Honeycomb! :eyes2:

Good news!
Live Healthy!

Glad to hear that, over all, you are okay.

My daddy is on both medications for his colesterol and thyroid...not onoly did it help his with those he lost some unneeded weight he gained due to high colesterol and a jacked up thyroid. So it will do you lots of good just make sure you take the meds correctly
