Sort of going through that now with my son. He's a senior in high school. On one hand, I know there are kids that are ready to go ASAP and always figured my son would be like that too. On the other hand, I know he isn't ready. I lived at home until I was 24/25, I don't plan on kicking him out but I sort of wish he wanted to go. It's a weird place to be in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yeah,... we create a cultural stigma about not being Joe-independent maverick, chisel jawed muscle clad revered this, or female sex gods with super power that, all by the age of 20 in Americana vision, then create an economic social structure that for 97 % ( or whatever vast majority it is) of the rearing population, that is provisionally impossible without crime.

Hopefully it's a fun winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Very high cholesterol runs in my family. I have been on statins since I turned 18 and my total cholesterol was already high 200s at that time even though I was as thin as a rail and played various sports. Never had any side effects, that I am aware of at least. Liver numbers always looked good. My HDL remains too low and my LDL too high. My triglycerides have also spiked at various points, but I made some additional dietary changes and they recently dropped. Without statins, my cholesterol would be off the charts right now and I would be headed for a heart attack at a fairly young age. I am not a fatty who eats three burgers a day, either. My body just makes too much of the stuff. So I recommend the drugs to anyone dealing with high cholesterol who already has a decent diet, keeps their weight in check, and exercises.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 My most recent blood work total cholesterol was 207… my doctor didn’t recommended doing anything at this time. High cholesterol runs in my family, and my brother has had it since he was a kid. Is it normal not to treat that level, 207? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total is considered less important these days, it's just an indicator if it's very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little out of range. If you are worried about it, get a second opinion. If you have a family history, that usually gets you shortlisted for statins.
