In terms of cardiac risk: My CRP and homocysteine are always low, and I don't have other risk factors, except a dad with coronary disease. My chol:HDL ratio is still good, even with these very high numbers it's 3/4.

I take my supplements, which should help also: I take AREDS formula antioxidants, as well as alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, acetyl L carnitine, and N-acetyle-cysteine (which keeps homocysteine down). Oh yes, omega fatty acids.

I had posted on this thread that the sinus guy wanted me to irrigate with Avalox. I was wrong; it's Amikacin. I haven't begun, as I don't have enough information to be comfortable. The mycobacterium is called m chelonae, and I've found just about nothing useful on the web. The cultures are still cooking.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
