Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

So, my lipids panel and blood tests came back. Evidently I've got some issues.

TSH is high which I've known forever. Don't know WTF to do about it. Apparently doctors don't either.

HDL cholesterol 210 which is only a tiny bit high.
LDL is worse, coming in at 145, pretty high but not "OMG HOLY CRAP YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK AT ANY INSTANT GET THEE TO A HOSPITAL BED FOR AN IMMEDIATE ARTERIAL BYPASS" high, evidently.

Protein a bit low.

Vitamin D levels insanely low.


This is a troubling set of results. The nurse told me that to lower the LDL, I need to stop eating eggs, dairy and meat.

For the protein, I need to start eating more meat.

For the vitamin D, I need to start eating more eggs, dairy, and meat and go outside a lot more.

Uh-huh. Yeah. I'll just.... wind up doing nothing different except go outside more, evidently.
