A Few More Adjustments
Verdict: I am going to live.
OK so my triglycerides are through the roof (963), but on the other hand my cholesterol is not that bad (214). OK, so my HbA1 came back at 10.4 (way high) and my testosterone level came back at 180 (normal is 300), these will not kill me today.
So where does that leave me? Well it leaves me like this: Lisinopril for the blood pressure, Mevacor for the cholesterol, Tricor for the triglycerides, Avandaryl (Avandia and Glyburide) for the diabetes and Androgel (testosterone replacement therapy.) Then to top all that off, the Wellbutrin in a week or two once I feel that all the above have had a chance to take hold.
I have gone from a medicine cabinet with some ibuprofen and Tylenol to being completely loaded. I also got some emergency meds for when the pain of everything gets too bad (my favorite pain cocktail, Vicodin and Soma). Now I am feeling like my father, a pill for everything.
The next step is for me to figure out a good schedule for all of the above. I think I will do the Lisinopril, Mevacor and Tricor at night so it does not hit me hard during the day. The side effects of these are conducive to evening use and a good night’s sleep. The Avandaryl, Androgel, and Wellbutin would probably work well during activity and so I can monitor them better.
So now I have a plan and all I have to do is execute it and work out and eat well and abstain from sex and worship the god Plutorex from Xerzon and make generous donations to various and shady organizations and I will be fine. Oh yeah, I can only watch Jerry Falwell for the next two years and in my free time I am allowed to meditate and astral project to the plane of Visshusain Gawzoontite.
But other than that… I’m fine.
