The NP was completely impressed. All combined, a slight change in diet (probably not as much as he SHOULD have changed), the medication and at least 45 minutes of cardio exercise plus some weights at least four days a week, his triglycerides have come down from 3802 to 225!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because he didn't change his diet much and the meds seem to be what helped, I'm convinced that it's hereditary and he'll probably have to take meds for the rest of his life. But at least he's feeling better, the trigs are down, the cholesterol is down (both still elevated higher than "normal", but much better!) and he's lost 13 pounds on top of all that!!

Now the poor guy has thrown his back out...he bent over today at my sisters to sit his plate down and took about 10 minutes to stand back up. He's in lots of pain, so pray that he's feeling better in the morning!!

Bless his heart! I hate it when I throw my back out. It really does hurt. Great news about the labs, though. That was a huge drop in triglycerides!!!

The only thing that helped, besides heavy meds, was chiro w/ultrasound and massage! Hope he's better soon. Congrats on the rest!!!!
