Hypochondriac much?

Got my blood test results from the doc in yesterday's mail. Turns out that even though my cholesterol is high, my ratio is excellent, so I'm in the clear on that. My blood sugar was OK too, which I was a bit concerned about due to family history. But, my thyroid level came back low. She had a "need to discuss" note next to that, so I need to call her office this afternoon. I called my mom last night and found out that my grandma has the same problem, as does my mom's twin sister (who seems to have nearly everything).

I definitely need to call, because in the past 12 hours, I've done just enough web research to link my thyroid levels to my migraines, my wrist pain, and the fact that I'm at my highest weight ever and can't seem to change it.

Where'd those straws go? I need to grasp at them a little more. :-)

She might have had other factors in her cholesterol, though. :)

That said, how the body handles cholesterol has a huge genetic component, so you might indeed follow her path.
