Still keeping you in my thoughts. I will be curious to hear what the MD makes of these tests.

Take cinnamon for your triglycerides! 1/2 to 1 teaspoon a day or add it to what you eat. I put a teaspoon on my oatmeal every morning and then take a cinnamon capsule in the evening.

Since getting off the statin drugs I am doing th natural stuff and just had mine checked and my triglycerides was 77..... (helps a lot that cinnamon is one of my favorite spices too!)

I'm sorry I am just now seeing this Kimmy. I hope they get to the bottom of this and that it is nothing major & can easily be fixed. Please know you are in my thoughts. HUGS

Hi everyone!

Thanks again for all the good thoughts.

I just thought I'd pop in with an update after speaking with the doctor.

Well, nothing medical is causing the fatigue. My LDL and HDL numbers are fine. Just my tryglicerides are a little high but the doctor says it's nothing to be concerned about at this point. I just need to exercise more and cut out the fats and sweets. Not easy with the holidays coming up, but I'm allowed a few cheat days.

So at this point all signs point to depression. The way my therapist explained it is that I have situational depression that has just mentally run me down, so I'm tired all the time and now I'm more depressed because I'm tired all the time. It's this savage circle unfortunately. I won't need medication though. Just have to focus and concentrate more. I'm hoping the exercise and new diet will help.

The good news is that I'm not nearly as tired during the day at work as I was in the past. I've been taking the stairs more and trying to get out and walk more on my lunch break to try and re-energize.

So things are looking up. I'm just glad to have some answers.

In another thread here, someone said that a really good B complex helped their depression. I think they got it at GNR. Can't hurt!
