Hi all,
Sorry haven't been on here for a little while. Having depression/anxiety/ OCD blip.
Just thought I would look in this morning to catch up.
Anyway I went to see my GP privately about my cholesterol and thyroid only to be told my thyroid is fine. My cholesterol is high but when the GP did the risk assessment I have only a 3% chance of having a heart attack or stroke. As long as I make some changes to my diet he is not worried and I'm to have another blood test in 3 months to see where I am.
I have made several changes to my diet. Porridge for breakfast, lots of fruit,veg, changed my clover spread to olivio or flora and take a bencol drink each evening after my main meal.
We'll see how that goes. I still allow myself a cake of some chocolate now & again.
My GP said it's not going to matter as long as I'm not eating it every day.
Relieved to have seen my GP so not worried now but going through this awful blip, for which I'm taking clonazapam as needed. Knocks me out and keeps me calm.
