Triglycerides 119 (113 May; 192 11/08)
LDL calculated-124 (131 May; 155 11/08)

CRP was .68. According to the results on the chart anything less than 1 is low risk for cardiovascular disease. So, no Statins for me.

My blood counts remain slightly low (this is why he sent me to the hematologist last winter). But I have no symptoms of anemia, so I'm not too worried about it. In fact, I think I'm going to cancel my appointment for next week since my health insurance sucks and doesn't cover office visits. Any thoughts are welcome.
