TheSeaCat, I'm happy to read that your heart rate is lower. I know what a relief that is as I, too, used to experience tachycardia. Your job certainly sounds like it's going well.

Wander, your topic of study sounds very interesting and quite important given this day and age!

scatterbrained, I hope your sleep improves. I am glad all else is well.

spikes, I know how frustrating high cholesterol and triglycerides are. A med change helped my triglycerides, but not my cholesterol. It's odd, the one that clearly affected my triglycerides was weight neutral. I do know that diet/exercise can help both, but I know how tough they can be.
