AG, that is terrific, that you convinced him.
Good for you you've got a doc amenable to being convinced.
Keep up the good work!

I have not received my instructions from the lab yet. I guess my
doctor means to have me tested in late December before our
January appointment.
Don't ask me why he said he was anxious to see the results. I'm
scratching my head about that too. ???
Maybe doctors have different definitions of "anxious" than we
do. ;D

:-[ Whoops! It turns out the instructions have been at the lab
since the Doctor scheduled them but the lab never bothered to
send me written instructions. :P I expect to get the SPEP and
UPEP done within two weeks. I'll report on the results here.[img

Surly,

My SPEP looks almost exactly like the green (normal) SPEP above.
;D
My total protein was exactly the minimum amount (6.5 g/dl in the
normal range of 6.5- 8.3 g /dl).
My triglycerides are a little high (went from 131 in October to
221 now) but anything under 500 is really not that big a deal.
Besides, my LDL (calculated) went down from 160 to 143 ( which
is an improvement). The Doctor mentioned Lipitor and I proceeded
to discuss the risks and asked that we just wait a year and
check again while I try to lower the triglycerides with diet. He
agreed.
My blood pressure was PERFECT at 110/70! ;D
So since the SPEP is okay, the plan is to work my diet to lower
the triglycerides. LDL cholesterol and simultaneously raise the
"good" cholesterol (HDL).
One day at a time. So, thanks be to God, I appear to have some
more time left on planet earth. Tough luck for the fossil
fuelers. ;D

AG,
Truly splendid news. With labs and a B like that, you may love
forever!
Well done, and good to know we'll have for brand of
truth-telling with us for a while longer!
