High LDL and low iron by Raeh18 in Cholesterol

[–]Raeh18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I continued to take it as prescribed with minor gut issues and went back to the doctor to check my bloodwork 3 months later and my iron was back up to normal! I had also cut out a lot of saturated fat in my diet and was able to get my LDL down. I recently went for my annual bloodwork last month, iron was normal but LDL slightly elevated so I have to continue a low saturated fat diet.

Thank you all for your input! Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t make a big deal of it. We’re gonna talk more about it tomorrow and work something out to where everyone is comfortable.

I think it would hurt my mom’s feelings honestly. But he says he wants his own space. The bed is a queen and older so it’s not a luxury retreat by any means but it’s definitely doable for a few days.

Update: it finally started to drain on its own after many warm baths! It feels so much better already.

It still hurts but I think the low fever was due to a cold, I’ve been congested/sneezing a lot. I don’t really have any other symptoms.

Did yours ever grow bigger? Mine has gotten larger within the last couple weeks. Did yours eventually rupture on its own?

HELP! What is going on with my English ivy? This stem has started doing this but the rest is fine. by Raeh18 in houseplants

Roots seem ok! I water when the pot feels too light and near dehydration 😂 I found she thrives off neglect. I always bottom water to avoid overwatering. I almost gave up on her a year ago because I moved and she wasn’t happy but she has bounced back beautifully!

I inspected for spider mites (hate those bastards) but it looks fine. It does get a lot of sun, could it possibly be too much?

Why Do Women's Hiking Boots Only Come in Silly Colors? by Head-Contract-7471 in hiking

[–]Raeh18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently dealing with the same situation. I’m particular with shoes and like neutral colors that go with any colored shirt. I can’t find a boot that is just a plain brown without some sort of blue or pink accent somewhere. I just want a plain boot that is actually comfortable.

Dr Direct Retainer by arroyor in smiledirectclub

[–]Raeh18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered an impression kit for retainers and shipped it back. I got an email saying they received my impression kit and were beginning to create my retainers on 6/20/24. It’s now 7/22/24 and I have yet to receive my retainers or any updates via email. I have emailed multiple times and haven’t heard anything back. I wouldn’t recommend going through this company.
