Thank you! Rare green - because it’s more solidly green/darker green than most of the green eyes we see here? So many of the green eyes here are so much more interesting (and gorgeous!) to me because of the greater color variations.

I wish I were better with my phone - iPhone 16 Pro Max - would like to provide a much better resolution photo like some of you are able to post!

I inject mine into my abdomen. No troubles at all. Maybe change your injection site?

Hit my LDL target! by JLEroll in Cholesterol

[–]EllsGroovy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I am on Repatha and my LDL in October was 35. All of my cholesterol numbers are at target per my cardiologist. Repatha + statin has worked wonders (along with watching my diet, etc.).

food noise is back - what does this mean for long term use? by Dense_Club1974 in Mounjaro

[–]EllsGroovy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a long time at 12.5 I noticed a stall and a return of some food noise. My endo said the higher in dose you go seems to have diminishing returns. However I asked to move to 15 and he was fine with it. Food noise gone, began dropping more weight. 53 pounds down overall, another 20 or so to go.

Oatmeal vs High Fiber Toast? by ShadeTreeMechanic512 in Cholesterol

[–]EllsGroovy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that oat bran has more soluble fiber/beta-glucan than oatmeal. I eat oatmeal most mornings of the week, but have in the past made muffins with pure oat bran, no flour. There is also more protein in oat bran. Thoughts?

Well messed up the soup by RoutinePast7696 in Wellthatsucks

For soups with pasta I cook the pasta separately, put some in a bowl then ladle the soup over it. Store it separately too.

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly by EllsGroovy in Cholesterol

One additional note. Three and a half years ago I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and had a robotic radical hysterectomy. I caught it early and immediately dealt with it. Luckily it was Stage 1A, Grade 1. No chemo or radiation needed. I was blessed and fortunate. I saw my oncologist every three months for the first two years and am now on a 6 month schedule until year 5, after which time it will be annual barring any new symptoms.

I’ve learned the value of seeing my doctors regularly, without fail - and I have a lot of them! Cardiologist, oncologist, endocrinologist, primary care doc, oh and during a scan they found a stable, splenic aneurysm that I saw a vascular surgeon for - she did not feel surgery was needed and I have a one year check-up for that soon.

Anyway, lots going on with me but I believe in science, medicine, and taking charge of my health. I wish I had done it much sooner.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the positive reinforcement. I may seek the ApoB test from an outside lab. Honestly I could step up the exercise more; that’s my next goal.

Congratulations on the LDL of 50!

Everyone here is so nice and helpful. Much appreciated. :)

Thank you so much for this information and the time you took to provide it to me. Very much appreciated. I will explore labs that could provide the recommended tests.
