My total cholesterol is insanely low... 112. Anything under 200 is ideal. The lower the better, but 112 is ridiculously low. Supposedly, cholesterol under 160 has been linked to anxiety and I should eat more fish for their healthy fish oils. God I hate fish. Two years on low carb... I ate bacon, I ate cheeseburgers, I ate red bloody steaks and now I've got doctor's telling me my cholesterol is too LOW.
Fifty-two different tests or counts or whatever you want to call them. I fell well within the healthy ranges on all but two, and one of those two was just higher than average vitamin B12 levels, which is perfectly okay... the excess is peed out.
The other is just that I almost tested positive for lyme disease. No shit. Below a certain range is a definite negative and above a certain range is a definite positive. And there I was in what I will dub the "maybe" range. This required further testing. The further testing cleared everything up. I do not have lyme disease. Kind of scary nonetheless.
