Blood Test Advice
Hello, I am completely new to all of this. I was being investigated for what the Doctor thought was severe Eczema but my ANA, Anti-TIF Gamma, PMS cl 75 and LDH antibody blood tests have all come back positive. I have been referred to a Rheumatologist but I don't know when this will happen. In the meantime

My high fat diet reduced my cholesterol by 50%.
I just had a blood test and my
LDL
was reduced by 50% and down to 0.6. Please note that the fat and fibre comes from avacado, olive oil, nuts and legumes and not fish and chips 😂😂

Doc said there's nowhere left to go
This has come up on us really quickly. My husband entered the FOR46 trial last month and did one round of chemo. He's been trying to recover ever since. His PSA is back up to 300; AP is around 600. LDH is off the charts. Potassium, calcium and phosphorus have all been critically low at times and I can't

Is facial swelling of concern
His
ldl
was also High but statin with aspirin did not suit him. He did his ecg which was normal- so the doc suggested to start on the metformin and to decide on the statin+aspirin during the next visit.

Crazy new numbers being thrown my way.
There was no breakdown of
ldl
or hdl. It was all just 'Your cholesterol is high, you're going to die (not really, I'm exaggerating a bit), you need statins.'

Elevated liver enzymes on routine bloodwork, what can I expect after the ultrasound?
My fasting blood sugar was 102 and my Hdl cholesterol was 59 and
LDl
was 108. I was always a yo yo dieter my whole life but after I had my daughter two years ago I really became more sedentary and didn't get weight off that I should have, my BMI is 35.

Received my Eligard Injection on Tuesday - PSA a tick lower before injection - Low LDH score ?
Received my injection on Tuesday. Had labs done prior to injection. PSA dropped a tick from ".38" on 8/8/2020 to ".37" on 10/6/2020. My LDH was at 127. Literature says it is unusual to have a low LDH score. Anyone have any information on a low LDH score ? Thanks! Background Data: Diagnosed with

Does liquid naltrexone need to be stored in the fridge?
I’ve recently gotten a prescription from Dickson’s pharmacy for low dose naltrexone and it says store in the fridge, but it also says a cool dry place on another label. Does it need to be stored in the fridge ? I’m hoping not

High LDL, genetic?
TC was down from 7.2 to 6.1 and
LDL
was at 4.5(!) I've lost 2 stone but still have another stone to reach a healthy weight. I'm noticeably still carrying visceral fat. My diet has changed significantly, and exercise levels are up. I'm not on statins for which I won't go into right now.

The Magic Pill
TC 6.1,
LDL
4.5, HDL 1.1, TG 1.1. I moved to a mediteranean diet which basically involved cutting out the bad stuff, because I already ate a broad range of foods and we have always cooked a lot from scratch. I have concerns my cholesteral is still too high.

Cholesterol 3.94 (range 0.00-3.50) I was sure that I had hypothyroidism due to all the symptoms I have had: tiredness, weight gain, depression, air hunger, throat and chest infections, memory fog - all during the past two years since my change in TSH
