I stop walking because of my job last Sept 2008. I did not have a day off but I was working in a bakery where it is really physical work. My hours dropped dramaticly and I have not worked out since Dec 2008. I had to find a new doctor and I have done everything naturally, I would take an aspirin if my migrates were too sever, other wise I am pretty much drug free. My probleim is that I still have high cholestrol which is now 455; Trigycerides 333; LDL 313; Chol/HDLC Ratio is 6/1 I know very bad. My Creatine Kinase total is 337 (just now read what it is) T3 is 53; T4 0.4; TSH 150, I use to take Naturethyroid and it works for me but my doctor retired and his daughter would order Naturethyroid for me. I have not been on it for the last 2 mos and I am waiting for her to e-mail me so I can get back on it. My new doctor told me that I had to get on crestor and I called her assistant and told her I rather she gave me something else because right now crestor is the strongest drug out there and I rather not take it. I just ordered Tumeric from Dr. Mercola to help me with my Cholestrol. To make matters worse they told me that I don't have to go in and discuss the blood test, and they are only addressing my cholestrol and thryoid. My doctor is not concern with the creatine kinase, pituitary glands and the other one (T-4 &T3) I am planning to start working out on my trrendmill slowly. I will be joining weight watchers as well, my mother-in-law friend is going to explain my blood work and I will continue to do more research on everything. I still can't believe that this doctor is not focusing on everything that is high (blood test) just two items. I am so really to make a change with my health, even though I take fish oil, and other supplements. I sure could use any advise on how to lower my creatine kinase and my pituitary glands ect. Now I am really scared and I have 60 pds to lose I know that I am go to do it, Any Suggest would be great and thanks Y L -SA Tx
