The look on my doctor's face was priceless today. I have been having some body aches as well as my ears have been hurting lately so I went to see my doc and he ran some bloodwork and while I was there I asked btw what was my weight last time I was here? He looked and then looked back some more and said what are you doing? I said why? The look on his face was just that of utter disbelief because in the last month and half I have lost 26lbs. I'm not sure how I did it but some how I have. I guess this not eating much and then going to eating more has worked. In the last week I have lost 7lbs. He was shocked and then said whatever you are doing keep it up.
As for the body aches he thinks its my cholestrol meds that are doing it. He said its one of the side effects and also ran a bunch of blood work. I asked him if he has tested my Vitamin D level lately because I was watching this show recently where there was a rather large man who had body aches and they tested his Vitamin D level and it was low and he started to take Vitamin D and it went away. So he threw that test into the mix. So in about a week I should know the results of my blood work. Jbug

I do take all my vitamins but still could have a vitamin loss. I found that out last year when I went to see my surgeon. I had my yearly lab work and found out I my Vitamin D level was low which made me think maybe it was low again. So thought to bring it up. I take my vitamins religiously because I know how important it is for me to take them since I don't get them from my food.

Oh that's great jbug!! Wow ! Awesome !
Those body aches from statins I have had and they are no fun. The only statin type drug I can tolerate is Pravastatin. I can take Lipitor too, but it's out of my price range. Luckily the Pravastatin is one of the $4 Rx's at Walmart, although my dosage doubled so now it's $8 but still a good deal. I hope you feel better! |

The med I was taking was Lovastatin so we will see how it plays out. I'm hoping it is something as simple as the cholestrol med and nothing serious.
