How long ago was your diagnosis, @myhearthealth24 ? I was diagnosed about a year ago when I thought I had been “doing everything right” and had low risk by my cholesterol numbers. I’m still not back to normal in that I feel unhealthy, prematurely old, and somewhat defeated based on the effort I had made to avoid disorders that the popular media leads us to believe are lifestyle controlled. I was trying to avoid the same problems my mother had (quadruple bypass at my age), high BP, diabetes, osteoporosis … and all signs are that I am headed down the same path but at perhaps a slightly slower rate.

I haven’t found a way to avoid the stress, I am hoping it will just fade with time. I’d say I am less obsessed than I was at first. This group helps. Hang in there!

I admit to being addicted to Royal Match!
