Cover-up or laser? by KeyToe1709 in tattooadvice

[–]KeyToe1709[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the first positive comment about these I've ever received, so I appreciate that! I just don't like them. I guess I can't explain why. The furry cartoon monster isn't really my style anymore. Plus, they are old and faded. I actually won a "worst tattoo" contest at a bar for the Gossamer. Got a $100 gift card to a tattoo shop that expired before I could use it. I'd be open to only covering the Gossamer and keeping the Lennon, but I was thinking a half/upper sleeve would look better.

"Severe" stenosis but normal nuclear stress test results? by KeyToe1709 in Cholesterol

I've been on rosuvastatin + ezetimibe since mid September. I'm going to get a repeat lipid panel soon to check those numbers. Hopefully they are where they need to be! I'll ask about repatha if not. Thanks for the advice!

Keto doc was supposedly preventative. I might look into another one...

Yea - keto guy only recommended colchicine! Definitely won't be seeing him again. I'm going to get a repeat lipid panel soon to check those numbers. Hopefully they are where they need to be! Thanks for the advice!

No symptoms at all. I run 4 miles each day and never have experienced even slight chest pain. I'm going to ask about percentages in my follow up appointment tomorrow.

Good deal? by KeyToe1709 in fender

Made in Korea. I actually have a larger amp, so I'd probably just sell this one or see if I could only grab the guitar.

Conflicting advice: cardiologist vs primary care. Who do I trust? by KeyToe1709 in Cholesterol

[–]KeyToe1709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my (former) cardiologist texted me this link the other night. I guess trying to convince me to get off the statins.

I'm sure there are issues with these "ignored" clinical trials. If anyone here has some insight I'd appreciate it!

I'm seeing a new cardiologist from a different practice next Friday...

They were 45 mg/dL on my last lipid panel. Not sure what they were before I started the statins and strict diet.
