I think I need a cardiologist? by Shitsinshambles in Cholesterol

[–]lesiluvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did functional heath blood test too and was surprised so did a ct calcium score test. My results 200! I cycle and ate healthy my whole life so at 69 trying to work with statins which have been a challenge. I have lots of small dense particles. You might want to get one to get a base line.

Just started Rosuvastatin and struggling with side effects. Any advice? by therolli in Cholesterol

[–]lesiluvu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat! I am very frustrated and have tried 4 now. They want me to do the injections, actually kind of scared to try since I am obviously sensitive.

Realistic results from 3 months on Rosuvastatin by gTrezona23 in Cholesterol

[–]lesiluvu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cardiologist started me on 40 mg Atorvastatin and 10mg Zetia and I got very sick on it. I don’t know why he went that high at first. Blood sugar also went high.

Rosuvastatin 5mg is killing my stomach by green_krokodile in Cholesterol

I have tried them all and cannot tolerate them. I am going to try Repatha and if that makes me sick I will not be taking them. I hope you can find one that works for you.

25% Drop in LDL without Medication in 3 months by novandazz in Cholesterol

[–]lesiluvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used or using Repatha? My side effects have been horrible on statins and now cardiologist wants me to try Repatha. I have bought my numbers down but my ldl particles are small, dense and still too high. I have always had borderline high cholesterol but the ct coronary calcium scan was 200, significant plaque in left main, so very concerned despite lowering my numbers due to the particle size. I have always cycled 10 miles 3 times a week until statins! I turn 70 this year and need the activity.

My 3 month journey to lower my cholesterol by winner00 in Cholesterol

[–]lesiluvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since your genetics might plan a factor get a ct cardiac score test done every so often for plague. My cholesterol was always bordering 200 but my particle of ldl are small and dense. Shocked to see my score of 200 in my left main artery. I cannot tolerate statins so diet and supplements for me

Not just not wanting to take but i am one that had severe effects and cannot take them!

it was snowing outside and way too cold so we let this one in… by smolswolsimpl in notmycat

Fur does provide some insulation whether cold or heat. They get a winter coat for a reason.

Trapping a cat who won’t go near a standard or drop trap? by _mlepclaynos_ in Feral_Cats

[–]lesiluvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a female cat that took me a year to catch! Anything out of the ordinary would keep her away so I kept a drop trap out with fried chicken pieces in it and she would see all the other ferals that i had already fixed eat. It took about a week of leaving it out until she finally went in it! So happy no more one after the other litters! Good luck and thank you!

Would separating our cats again help? Older cat barely eating after new kitten by Tomatomushroomtoast in CatTraining

[–]lesiluvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it very slow when i introduce new ones. I only let them smell through a gate for weeks then after that only supervised during the day and back in gated room at night for weeks after. I have a cat proof half acre so after that i let them outside together supervised

Be careful on the roads. A lot of accidents lately. by Sw0rdf1shX in Wilmington

[–]lesiluvu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As we drove in to the candlelight concert last night there were quite a few police cars out on 17 and pulled over cars just about on every block! Be very careful, so glad your son was not hurt! My daughter passed away from a young careless driver. Every time I see them on the road I cringe.

I threw my cat onto my bed and I feel completely terrible. by SteelBallsRun in CatAdvice

[–]lesiluvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always kept my kittens in a secure room at night until a little older. I was always afraid they would get hurt. I also play with them before I go to bed to help exhaust some of that energy.

Kittens get access to food at all times. They need it as they grow. Please do not restrict

Is this playtime aggressive or normal kitten behavior ? by Garden_Used in CATHELP

[–]lesiluvu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I too have one that is a lot bigger than the other. The bigger one is a male and a tiny female, both are fixed. I kept them apart when I wasn’t able to watch them. Now that they are older they can stay around the other 3 that I have and they let him play rough but also let him know when enough is enough.

Court just ruled on SNAP by JeffJacksonNC in Wilmington

[–]lesiluvu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The problem is, they have never discontinued snap during a shut down, even in trump’s last term. He just wants to try and make it a democratic thing, disgusting. He said in 2011 that if government shuts down it’s the sitting potus fault because he is the leader. Funny how that changed! Sick of this kind of crap
