Unfair
Well, I was finally able to see the doctor today to follow up on my bloodwork. It disturbed me that my cholesterol levels would be so high and my diet not be bad enough to cause this. Well, my doctor confirmed my suspicion that it wasn’t what I was eating that is causing this spike in my cholesterol. Apparently…good old genetics is causing me to have a cholesterol problem. Lucky me, that it is more on the rare side to get the genetic trait at only 23 years old. Doctor says that if left untreated, I might be heading towards major heart problems, maybe even heart-attack, by the time that I am 30! What sucks is that this is by no fault of my own. I was losing weight and almost to my goal before all my health issues began to take effect. Also, cardiologist says that I have some rare issue with my heart where there is some abnormal thickening of the right ventricle and now I have to follow up with the cardiologist on a yearly basis.
Oh well, what can I do. All this is beyond my control. Meanwhile, gotta love dishing out all the co-pays for visits and prescriptions.
It is a little on the unfair side seeing as how I am only 23 years old and I really should be having the time of my life, living it up but instead I am dealing with this.
Plus, the stress is having such a horrible effect on my body.
Anyways, I’m off to the gym tomorrow. I am trying not to let this get me down too much. I will take out some of the stress at the gym tomorrow. It’s legs and shoulders day.
Richard.
