- Go to FROM THE VERY CORE OF MY HEART TO YOURS....ESPECIALLY FOR MY GIRLFRIENDS
Thanks, Kris.....
For sharing all that good information with us. My doctor keeps pretty close tabs on me since I lost my mother at 51, my father 41, my brother 37, and sister at 46. All dealing from the heart, stroke, and vascular prolems. I've lost my total left leg from vascular so I'm "hot stuff." lol I have other health problems, you wouldn't even wanta know, girl!
I hope everybody listens to you and that you get a good audience for this one. God bless and congrats on your good numbers. Keep'em up!

I'm glad you were doing okay then, and hope you continue to do so. I had my last cig waiting for husband to get dressed to drive me to the hospital, knowing that I was having a heart attack....still miss them sometimes.

Thanks.....I had to have a heart attack to prove to several doctors that I was having heart problems....there is much more awareness now that women have heart problems at younger ages....but women themselves are still their own worst enemy with a lack of knowledge and proactiveness on the issue. I learned from my whole experience to be very assertive about all of my healthcare issues. Doctors cannot be expected to know it all...that's the bottom line. I know you do what you can to keep the awareness out there, too.

You get those numbers under control, girl! You don't want the grief....trust me on that! And, if you see this, I don't know what kind of niacin you are taking but I cannot recommend strongly enough Enduracin...buy it from
www.endur.com and get the sustained release kind....I won't bore you with the why's....just trust me...it's the absolute best way to take niacin.

Krisles...I know I should be aware of these things, but I am guilty of
neglecting myself. Two years ago, my husband and I had to have a battery of tests done before we could take out a Life Insurance policy. I do know that despite the fact that I smoke I was considered incredibly healthy and received the highest end discount beause of my numbers. Of course, that was two years ago. Thanks for the reminder that us girls need to pay closer attention to ourselves! Hope your shoulder is better!

Wow, you've dones so great getting your numbers done. I'm a vegetarian and almost died of shock when I heard how high my triglycerides are! Obviously the meat I don't eat, I make up for in carbs. It was an eye opener for me, that's for sure. I had to start taking niacin. Hopefully it has made a difference. I should find out in February.
