Medical Mystery Solved...
Yesterday I got a letter in the mail from my doctor that answered some questions. When I went in last week for my yearly exam he did some blood work to test my thyroid and cholesterol among other things. The results came back and it turns out my health problems are due to having a REALLY high level of cholesterol. He has prescribed me some medicine to help and is confident that with a diet change and regular exercise my levels will drop to normal. Coincidentally a week before I went in for the appointment I started Weight Watcher's. In the last two weeks I have lost 8 lbs. I know I have a long road ahead to loose weight, but I know it will be worth it in the end! Some good news to all of this is that my thyroid is fine and I don't have diabetes.

What medicine are you on? Kevan has the same issue with his cholesterol and his medicine did the trick. Congrats on the weight loss, that should help with the cholesterol too. You probably already know that. I love ya Shari
