| Disease/trait: Documentation description |
I am 55 years of age and have lab results for my cholesterol that go back to age 20 since I worked in a clinical lab. My total cholesterol and LDL levels are typically sky high - above 300 mg/dl. And my HDL levels are moderately low, below 50 mg/dl. Not conferring on me the numerical protection normally associated with high HDL levels. Despite this I have no apparent cardiac myopathy or artherosclerosis normally associated with such high levels. This means there are more cards in the cholesterol game than we currently understand. My high levels remain relatively untreated due to the fact that statin drugs give me instant tendonitis, also likely a genetic trait. |
