Update..... Sooooooooooo, i went back to see my Dr yesterday and get my blood test results. Good news is, im NOT pregnant and i dont have rhumatoid arthritis its just a increase in my osteo arthritis lol. Turns out, i have been promoted to medium risk bracket for heart attack/stroke.... Borderline NIDDM, fatty liver, ^ cholesterol (plus being over weight and a smoker), will do that to you...thank goodness my blood pressure is behaving otherwise i would be moved up to high risk..... So end result is that i refused to take statins (which my dr knew i would and also agrees with), and instead will make some big life style changes of which i am capable of doing and i can turn it all around. My Dr has given me 6 months to do it. At the end of the 6 months, i shall be weighed and blood /glucose tested to see how much things have improved.... As a lot of you know, i put on a lot of weight when i was unwell for those couple of years. I actually put on about 35kilos! I have lost 8 kilos of that already without actually trying so thats a great start. At least another 25 to go and my Dr will be happy. 6 mths and 25 kilos seems quite achievable. Better than a stroke or heart attack and considering my family history i know i need to sit up and take notice....lol.... Heres to baby steps..... Yayyyyyy me, ive beaten it already... 👍😃
