Anyway here they are:
- Triglycerides (initially ~3,000/ with max meds ~500, cholesterol OK, but NO good cholesterol)
- fatty liver
- Hypertension (160/120 untreated)
- Basically zero Serotonin despite already being on max Cymbalta for over a year
- testosterone 10% of normal for 40 y.o. male

I know my trig have been up for years and years hypertension also not sure about sertonin but been on anxiety or antidepressants all my life for ocd and other things, but can't say anything about testoterone since I am female and had a total hyster. for 15 years and yes I am 46 now. They have never given me meds for trigl. and never given me a calcium or vit. d regimen since my hyster. or my lactose intolerance for 15+ years.. Write more if you want Thanks Lisa
