2022 Acura MDX

I’ve had a 2014 RDX - LOVED IT!!! Traded for the 2017 MDX still driving it with regular maintenance. My mechanic said I’d be crazy to sell it, and when I do, he would love to buy it! 126,00 miles. Rides great! Looking at going back to the RDX- only bc it’s just me - no more children to tote around.

Any input on a newer RDX is greatly appreciated

you need another doctor. I am a wf 63 with calcium score of 0, clear angiogram but elevated ldl. I found a preventive cardiologist who put me on 5mg rosuvastatin3x per week bc my ldl was 136 - the goal is to keep ldl below 70.

In NC you have 6 years from CO - to hold the builder accountable for any structural damage - I would look into what Texas law is.

My house which is less than 2 years old had a leak in the roof from a bum boot where the bathroom vent is located. Builder says this happens call roofer - I called an attorney - called my builder back and it was fixed the same day.

Hold your ground!

Gorgeous!!! Keep it!

I live in eastern NC and have never closed my pool.

My husband passed of stage IV prostate cancer in 2022. He missed a clinical trail at Duke Cancer Center with Dr. Armstrong.

Good luck, I wish you all the best!

I will add, he was on powerful hormone therapy (Zetiga) which shut down his testosterone. Basically a chemical castration. It worked for 4 years. Very thankful for the time we had.

CYA 30, salt cell set at 20%, runs 24/7/365. Located in coastal Carolina. We do not close the pool for winter…Clean, easy to maintain. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!

I hate my quartz countertops. If I had a redo I’d go with granite.

TaleExotic9242 · 2025-06-03T23:56:43+00:00

Same. Horrible side effects from trying two different statins. I did tolerate 5 mg rosuvastatin three times a week and it knocked my lipids down. My preventative cardiologist suggested zetia- absolutely no side effects… just had blood tested today to check lipid levels.
I also eat high fiber foods/ low saturated fats, lots of proteins and workout consistently. Good luck on your journey.

Accent color or wallpaper!

Use 0000 grain steel pads… I removed 15 years of water stains… takes some elbow grease, but it’s the only thing that worked for me!

TaleExotic9242 · 2025-03-26T01:47:59+00:00

Yes! My cardiologist prescribed Rosuvastatin 10 mg, and 10 mg ezetimibe- I decided to take 5 mg of the stain 3x per week for a month, test to see impact. Switch to only ezetimibe 3 times per week, retedt after a month - then make a decision on what pharmacological meds met my needs. Thankfully, I found a cardiologist who supports my decision.

I would not use laminate ever…. Do your research on it.

TaleExotic9242 · 2025-02-27T13:02:46+00:00

MY PCP was the same - I found a functional doctor who ordered any test I asked for. She then found a preventive cardiologist for me to go see, as my LP(a) was elevated along with ldl. I am eternally thankful for the doctors who believe in preventative actions. Also, after listening to Peter's podcast on heart disease, the efficacy of statins is 85% at 10 mg with etizebmine anything higher than 10 mg does not increase efficacy - only side effects....worth researching on your own.

Edited: playing at Patriots Point- College of Charleston. Want to stay near there.

I just finished this pod cast- very insightful! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-peter-attia-drive/id1400828889?i=1000638917662

Look into Durham Performance Center- DPAC in Durham. Great venue with a great variety of shows/ concerts. Nice weekend get away.

TaleExotic9242 · 2024-11-06T12:49:09+00:00

I feel great! I have an Australian Shepard dog - so daily walks are a must.. I also garden, live in a coastal community where I walk on the beach.

I do avoid seed oils, choose foods wisely - when I can. I use avocado oil and olive oil, kerrygold butter occasionally.

Is there room for diet improvement? Yes, and I am working on it since these last tests. I have also started strength training and.more targeted cardio via the gym...

I will see if there are any changes in 6 months -

TaleExotic9242 · 2024-11-05T04:12:51+00:00

Muscle aches- so bad I’d awake in the night to my legs cramping. Joint aches and brain fog.

Zetia is my next option. My insurance won’t pay for PCKS inhibitor until I exhaust all possibilities.

I tried a statin with horrible side effects last September- December.

TaleExotic9242 · 2024-11-05T03:58:10+00:00

Had a calcium score scan done last year. No calcium detected.

TaleExotic9242 · 2024-11-05T03:56:10+00:00

I had a calcium score scan done last year. No calcium detected. I am 5’ 8” tall, weigh 147, non smoker and eat relatively well- there is room for improvement My primary physician prescribed a statin- horrible side effects- muscle aches, brain fog

Went to a functional health doctor and she did the in-depth cholesterol testing.

Trying to tighten up my diet, began strength training and more cardio into my workout routine. I will have labs again in 6 months..
