And the verdict is...

My labs are fine. I'm not anemic, but my body is still making sure I won't be anytime soon, hence the high iron binding numbers and kinda low iron saturation. Peg says my cholesterol is fine, believe it or not... but my HDL is a little low, which means I need to exercise more. My LDL is a little high, but that can be improved with fish oil. Yay! As far as the high CRP cardio ratio, it's due to inflammation of some sort, which can also be helped with fish oil. She wants me to repeat that test and see what it's like in a few months; whichever number is lower is usually the correct. haha The lab work I had done for PCO came back ok... even though my numbers were low for where I supposedly was in my "cycle," the ratio between the two numbers was OK. She is curious as to how my sister's tests came back, however.

So basically... my blood pressure is good, my blood work is good, everything is good... I'm just overweight. Blah.

She recommended a liver detox, for which I am totally game. :) I'm supposed to start taking 2 fish oil caps a day along with my multi-vitamin with iron. Hopefully, after the holidays, I will feel better, be more active, and not fall asleep at my desk!
