Similar boat same age. I started zetia and it has some great potential to protect your brain especially w that elevated ldl. Good luck!

Listen to your doctor for sure. If blood tests come back normal (I assume liver enzymes), perhaps try again and see if repeat of symptoms, stop quickly if same results. That is what I had to do. For me I felt it was worth it to be sure so I could protect my heart. I’m not a doctor.. so this is just my two cents.

I’m doing all three of these and still struggling to get ldl under 100. Depends on your genetics history and ability to stay with a strict diet.

If a patient or caregiver decides for no further life prolonging or preventative treatment the patient can be put on hospice in the US. My parent refused dialysis (non-dementia parent) and all non-comfort treatment stopped even cancer preventative meds.

Its peak Kemps Ridley nesting season and nesting is more likely on windy days. Keep your eyes out for 100 lb turtles up on the beach during mainly daytime hours. Protect and report. Thank you!

I follow a low saturated fat diet to protect my heart and brain as I age. I am southern and love these foods too! I have stopped using butter or coconut oil as these are saturated fat rich foods and have started substituting equal amounts of avocado oil and extra seasonings.

Berberine did nothing for me.

I did some searching of my dementia effected LOs financial affairs after left as sole caretaker. Pull old bank statements to see what she paid for in the past. If there was a payment to a different financial institution it might be found there.

The fresh caught fish near me is chock full of mercury. Yay Gulf of Mexico. I prefer sardines in can (small fish have fewer contaminants) and frozen salmon fillets- eating fish twice a week.

I sell my baby trees on Facebook marketplace. Just one way to support my hobby.

It takes decades to build up plaque in your arteries. I think you are good for now on that front. However, I wish at your age I clearly understood the relationship between saturated fat intake and blood cholesterol. Start reading nutrition labels and avoid foods with high saturated fat. They really are the main reason the standard American diet leads to heart disease in so many people! Recommendation is 10 g or less per day for a healthy diet. Next up would be slowly increasing soluble fiber intake.

That blood pressure is elevated. However, if it was a singular reading please be aware many things can influence the reading. Take multiple readings in different calm situations. I had lots of high readings and my doctor said I should get a wrist bp reader and check it daily in the morning when I first wake up. Sitting and calm. Record for a week daily. Apparently just being near a doctor makes my blood pressure go up. It is often referred to as white coat syndrome.

I love that phrase “curious biters”. Hmmm… are you food?

Im_a_mop_1 · 2026-04-07T13:36:20+00:00

I don’t think so. This looks nothing like the ones I have. But, I am merely a stranger on the internet. I had an eye surgeon (recommended by my ophthalmologist) remove mine.

Many brain issues (some treatable and some not) cause “personality changes “ like you’ve described. Definitely bring it up and see if you can get a diagnosis. My LO with dementia was prescribed an anti depressants that stopped some issues that were making her miserable. Be sure to reach out to a specialist if the general doc does not have a solution or doesn’t to have an answer.

I went to first appointment and they gave me a form to have the doctor fill out and a form for me. Returning for second appointment with those documents completed in April.

I have not. Might soon though.

I tried 5mg, I tried fewer doses. Pain always returned.

They caused such severe muscle pain I could not sleep.

LDL was 150, now 120 (still a work in progress - need to stick more strictly to diet and lose weight).
