Important Message: Guys, Always Get Bloodwork Done!!!
I can't stress how important this is. I know guys talk about it, but how many of you actually do it? We all tend to think it will never happen to us. Well, guess what? I got my blood work done and my cholesterol was a whopping 311!!!!
I get bloodwork done every 3 to 6 months. Not only because I am on HRT thearpy, but because It is so critical. I got my bloodwork done last DEC. At that time my cholesterol was 252. I wasn't eating that healthy and was eating a ton of red meat. My dr said, Clean up your diet and you will knock off 50points in a month. Well by the end of Jan, I dropped it 55points. I have been eating decent ever since. Well, 6 months later it soared to 311!!! I want everyone to know I have been either on a cycle, or on HRT thearpy for over a year. I truly now believe that's whats causing my cholesterol to sky rocket. It is common sense not to be on a cycle that long, but we do have guys that do it. We all tend to think "it will never happen to me." I was coming off at the end of August (I wanted to wait till summer was over because I get bad PCT acne), but after reading a thread on another board about this happening to a young healthy guy, I said I need to get my bloodwork done ASAP. THANK GOD I did. It was a wake up call and a huge learning lesson. The good news is my liver values and my kidney values are fine
Be safe guys!!!!! Our health is way to important.
Peace,
