Triglyceride 66

HDL cholesterol 43

LDL Calculated 131

Cholesterol to HDL Ratio 4.3

LDL:HDL Ratio 3.05

IM 28 Y/O FEMALE TAKE THYROID MEDS.

THESE ARE MY LIPID PROFILE BLOOD WORK RESULTS AND I DON'T HAVE AN APT UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF FEB FOR RESULTS!!!

IM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THESE MEAN? TWO WEEKS AGO I JOINED A GYM AND I AM STARTING TO EAT BETTER AS WELL I JUST HAD THIS BLOOD WORK DONE ON THE 27th OF JANUARY. BUT I RECEIVED AN EMAIL STATING THAT THE RESULTS WERE IN BUT THERE WERE NO NOTES FROM THE DOCTOR AND THE LDL AND THE HDL WERE FLAGGED SO I AM CONFUSED.

PLUS IF THEY ARE HIGH HOW CAN I LOWER IT WITH OUT A PRESCRIPTION MED? I KNOW THERE ARE CERTAIN FOODS BUT IM NOT SURE WHICH KIND WOULD BE THE BEST???

IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

THANKS AGAIN!

my daughter had TWO sleep studies. They said she has mild obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. she does not snore or stop breathing. she was referred because she was exhausted all day and her pediatrician said it was because her tonsils may be enlarged and are blocking her airway here are the results. First is first test and the second is the c pap titration

POLYSOMNOGRAPHY REPORT

BEFORE:

N1 3.15%

N2 60.32%

N3 33.67%

R 2.87

LATENCY 0.0

SLEEP EFFECIENCY WAS 96.76%

PATIENT HAD TOTAL OF 10 EVENTS OF HYPOPNEAS, MIXED, APNEAS, AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA/HYPOPNEA INDEX OF 1.72

THE LOWEST SaO2 WAS 93%

2nd TEST WITH CPAP TITRATION

N1 4.84%

N2 77.17%

N3 17.99%

R 0.0

LATENCY 0.0 MINUTES

SLEEP EFFECIENCY WAS 91.30%

PATIENT HAD TOTAL OF 35 EVENTS OF HYPOPNEAS, MIXED, APNEAS, AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA/HYPOPNEA INDEX OF 6.35

THE LOWEST OXYGEN LEVEL WAS 74% (THEY DIDNT SAY THIS FOR THE FIRST TEST)

THE LOWEST SaO2 WAS 96%

PLAN: A C PAP UNIT FOR 5 CM

ASSESSMENT: PEDIATRIC MILD OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA/HYPOPNEA SYNDROME WITH EXCELLENT RESPONSE TO C PAP PRESSURE OF 5 CM

OK SO THOSE ARE ALL OF THE DETAILS OF THE PAPER SO NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM SHE WAS TAKEN OFF BY HER PEDIATRICIAN AND ENT DOCTOR BECAUSE IT IS CAUSING MIGRAINES AND BLOODY NOSES AND BEFORE U SAY C PAP SHOULD STOP MIGRAINES IT DOESNT FOR HER. SHE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND 50 POUNDS NOT OVER WEIGHT AT ALL. WHEN SHE IS SLEEPING SHE IS CONSTANTLY MOVING AND ISNT RESTING WHEN SHE WAKES UP ITS LIKE SHE NEVER SLEPT AND IS EXHAUSTED THE NEXT DAY. WHEN SHE WAS USING THE C PAP SHE WOULD NOT EVEN MOVE THROUGH THE NIGHT AND SHE SEEMED TO FEEL BETTER DURING THE DAY. BUT I THE DOCTOR SAID THAT THEY DONT FEEL IT IS SLEEP APNEA BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT STOP BREATHING AND DOES NOT SNORE.

THE DOCTOR HAS REFERRED HER TO THE ENT 2 TIMES AND SAID THE HER TONSILS ARE PERFECTLY FINE AND DO NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE RESULTS AND TOLD THEM IT SEEMED TO DO BETTER WHEN SHE WAS OFF OF THE MACHINE BY THE REPORT THEY DIDNT HAVE MUCH OF AN ANSWER EXCEPT IT BROUGHT UP HER OXYGEN LEVEL BESIDES HER LOWEST LEVEL AT 74%. SO I NEED HELP BECAUSE NOW SHE IS NOT USING ANYTHING.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

how can you tell if a 2 year old is dehydrated? she has strep throat and is very sick on antibiotics????

my two year old has had a rash for almost 7 weeks and she used to have really a bad temper but since the rash it has been terrible i mean even worse than before and now the doctor has her on hydroxizine 5mg every 6 hours. she was hospitalized in june for a nail in her foot and she has been through a lot toe strangulation at a month and a half old, eye infections, the nail, hospitalized for three days and now the rash for almost 7 weeks!!

it's NOT her just being two so please don't put that her being good is a two year old temper tantrum! i love my daughter but i need help trying to find out what is going on with her so please dont judge me or her on this

disipline isn't working it takes giving her extra time to calm down and spanking doesn't help it makes it worse and timeout only help for a second she isn't always out of control it's just from time to time.

i would really appreciate any advise there is OCD in her background but she doesn't have any signs or symptoms of that

thanks in advance

I now have pictures of her rash and it is still not GONE please read my first question and you'll know what i am talking about here is my first question from a while ago but im still having the same problem and she has had it since july 17.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtcT2...

that is the question^

and now here are the pictures

http://us.f829.mail.yahoo.com/y5/s/viewphoto;_ylc=...

hopefully you can see the pictures i cant figure out how to get the pictures larger

it starting on her left leg 4 weeks ago then it went up the leg to the other side been to the doctor over and over he put her on prednisolone 15mg per 5ml 1 tsp daily for 5 days (steriods) plus topical hydrocortizone. the rash is on both legs going up to the "private area" (but not on the privates) up to the stomach and all the way down to her feet.

In june she was hospitalized for a nail in her right foot for three days really badly infected. I asked if it could have been something from that but he said NO!!

so i took her back to the doctor today he said he is going to refer her to a dermatologist but i needed to get a second opinion! but the only thing there is to do is hospitalize her but other than that there isn't anything he can do for her. i cant find anything online that looks like it. He keeps calling it an environmental rash but now he has no idea??? Does anyone know what i can do about the second opinion and what i can do for her until i can get her seen i keep it really clean and put meds on it. Sometimes she says it hurts but not alot and she says it does NOT itch but you see her grabbing it occationally so i don't know what to do i am lost help if you can please and thank you

my husband started talking to this girl at work then shortly after she was layed off and she had givin some girl HER phone number he called her and they became "friends" i found the number in his phone it was written under a diff. name so of course i called it! it was a girl i questioned him and he said it was u GUY!!! ya well i told him i already knew alot of problems happened lying ect. I've been dealing with this for months he said that i should become friends w\ her!!! ya i couldn't believe it either!!!

but he said she was a really nice girl and that he was NOT going to stop being her friend, thats all that they were. She kept asking for him to make some songs on a cd or whatever and that was y she kept calling.

anyway so some more SH~+ happened and i figured ok i can try to become friends with her just like he has asked what could it hurt?? the worst that could happen is i don't like her right??

she passed away this morning at 84 years old from dementia thats really sad let me know if you liked her

i just heard it on the news if you liked her put yes and if you have no clue then put that i am just curious how many ppl on here liked her i loved her she was my favorite!!!!

last night i hit my wrist on my daughters fisher price kids table and bursted the veins. now it is greenish blue and i am in alot of pain. but the pain is in my fingers and in my arm its not really in my wrist do you guys have any idea? the hospital said it was going to hurt but i figured it was where the contusion was?? I've been putting ice on it but the pain is jumping around?? any answers are appreciated thanks and please dont be a jerk!!!

my daughter is 2 years old and cought up on her immunizations she stepped on an old rusty nail yesterday and it was 1 inch long and it went all the way into her foot. i pulled the nail out (i know that was dumb but at the time i wasn't thinking she was screaming and thats all i could think of) and took her to the hospital and they didn't do anything except xray and give her an antibiotic.then i took her to her pediatrician today and he said it was already infected and gave her a shot of strong antibiotics. but my problem is she isnt running a fever (thank god) but her leg is now swelling slightly from her foot to above the knee and where the nail started to come through on the top of her foot is really red and the doctor seen that but the redness is going more up the foot plus alot of swelling in the and around the wound.

so my question is the swelling on the legs normal or should i call the doctor he didn't say anything about swelling on the leg??

The doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired.

At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills.

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?"

"Yes, they help me to sleep at night."

"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!"

She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I know th at. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks . . . . And believe me, it helps me sleep at night!"

You gotta love Grandmas!

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs.

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

MY PRIVATE PART DIED

An old man, Mr. Wallace, was living in a nursing home.

One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.

Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong,

"Yes, Nurse Tracy," said Mr. Wallace.

"My Private Part died today, and I am very sad."

Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a little crazy,

She replied, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my condolences."

The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private Part

Hanging out of his pajamas.

He met Nurse Tracy. "Mr. Wallace," she said,

"You shouldn't be walking down the hall like that.

Please put your Private Part back inside your pajamas."

"But, Nurse Tracy I can't," replied Mr. Wallace.

"I told you yesterday that my Private Part died.

"Yes," said Nurse Tracy, "you did tell me that,

But why is it hanging out of your pajamas?"

(You've gotta love this )

"Well," he replied, "Today is the viewing.

Intrigued, she asked.
