| How My Body is Falling Apart - Complete With Stats |
[Dec. 24th, 2009|11:49 am] |
My blood test results came today. My applause goes to the mail deliver dude/dudess that made it through the freshly fallen snow. So here are dah numbers:
Length of Fast: 12 hours.
Cholesterol: 203 mg/dL (should be below 200)
Triglyceride Fats: 245 mg/dL (should be below 150, over 200 is high risk)
Chol/HDL ratio: 5.0
HDL Cholesterol: 41 mg/dL (should be greater than 40)
LDL Cholesterol: 113 mg/dL (should be below 100)
Vitamin D: 64 ng/ML (between 30-80 is optimal)
TSH: 7.62 uIU/mL (0.20-4.5 is optimal)
Free Thyroxin: 1.4 ng/dL (0.8-1.8 is optimal)
I need to work on my Triglyceride level. So I guess I will try and lose another 10 pounds and see if that does the trick.
Already upped my dosage of levothyroxine to bring that TSH down.
Vitamin D level is good. That daily 5000 IU dosage I am taking seems to be the right amount. |
