Hi @fern46 I'm sorry I went off on such a tangent and read something in your post that wasn't really there. I have a bad sinus headache this morning and guess I am not thinking as clearly as usual. Also, mood-wise I am OK, but stress has been present even when seemingly "hidden" even to myself. I have a tendency to do that sometimes as a survival/relief mechanism. Unfortunately, something sometimes "gives" in inappropriate ways.

I am generally well in many ways, but have been quite frustrated with my high cholesterol for longer than I'd like. I'm going to give this Metformin a try. We'll see how it works out.

I apologise again. I very much value your responses to my posts and hope the above doesn't deter you from responding to them in the future. Thank you for drawing my attention to this. :throb
