The place where I was working offered free blood labs. I said what the heck and got one. A couple weeks later they notified me to get a doctors appt. I went and seen old Saw Bones and he said I was a one step from a heart disease.
I was 85 pounds overweight, my triglycerides was 800 and bad cholesterol was 300. I was put on a new drug called Lipitor at 30mg and told to change my ways.
I got the side affects of Lipitor with sore muscles and such but kept taking it. I did not care about the weight just ate the lipitor pills and went on. Well, fast forward to 2012 and I was still fat, pre diabetic and cholesterol was at 250 with Lipitor. I had to take Allupurinol for the gout too.
My back and knees hurt all the time and I had to wear suspenders to keep my britches up. Saw Bones told me I was gonna have to take dem diabetes pills and up my dosage of Lipitor. I thought about some stuff and decided I aint bullet proof no more,so..
I lost 85 pounds and got down to 155 pounds in a year, Changed the way and things I ate. Learned a new way of living.
Today when I got my physical, the doc took me off the lipitor completely
. My cholesterol was 144 and Triglycerides at 131 taking 10mg of generic statin every other day. I celebrated by eating a bucket of KFC and eating Crisco out of the can
. Lol. I caint go backards now, gotta keep moving.
