I'm actually in relatively good shape for my age, and a couple of my maladies were in no way mitigated by a series of supposedly good doctors, and that's my experience. I also saw both of my parents in their later days treated by supposedly good doctors but it didn't strike me like that at the time and with what I've learned since I'm sure it wasn't good. And this was all before COVID. SMH

So I must be doing a lot of stuff right. My cholesterol is already 170-190. Doctors would like it lower yet and the high/low density isn't perfect, but hey.

I'm glad the allopurinol is out there, and it's probably the drug I'm not taking that I'm closest to taking. There are one or two others. I never turn anything down that I need, or that is a slam-bang cure, but there are surprisingly few of those around. Hep-C is one that there are cures for now, which is pretty amazing, but fortunately I haven't needed it.

@carbcounter you might just have good genes! I seem to have inherited medical problems that are due to genetics. i’ve been able to benefit from a lot of great information by having done my DNA and learning about my genetic mutations. I am grateful for the medicines that are out there which have helped me along the way. Good luck on continued good health!
