EA, being "friends" with OW, and Boundaries Part 2

[NikB]

Hi Elllie,

Yes, definitely a bummer deal. I’m glad I got the juvenile form since the adult form keeps on coming back forever while the juvenile one doesn't, but wish I hadn’t gotten it at all!

Thanks for the info about other possibilities for the Osteoporosis. I feel like I have so much on my plate right now it’s hard to deal with one more thing, but I need to follow up on it sooner or later and sooner is probably better. I will check on those other tests and see if I can talk my doc into them. Thanks for the information! My doc is really frustrating me because she seems to think I’m a hypochondriac or something every time I get worried about a health issue. She’s better than the other docs I’ve had through this health plan but still not great. Nature of a lot of the HMOs these days I guess.

I recently got back a cholesterol test and had VERY low cholesterol numbers which worried me. I know it can be associated with depression and it seems to me like it would be linked to other things, too. My doc and a second opinion doc were both thrilled with them though, so that had me entirely confused. Here were my numbers:

Total Cholesterol: 137
HDL: 56
LDL: 69
Ratio: 2.5
Triglyceride: 62
Non-HDL cholesterol: 81

Any thoughts??? Is 137 insanely low for total or am I worrying about it for no reason? I tried to find some of my older test results and couldn’t track them down so I don’t know how much of a change this is.

Thanks for your input!!
