Good Thursday Morning :)

It's hot flash Thursday for me...

Doctor put me on Niacin for three weeks in an attempt to get my cholesterol under control. I've been on ever increasing dosages of Statins for a few years and for the most part live on a low fat diet but so my cholesterol test done on Monday came back "off the charts" he said so I'm taking Niacin for three weeks and then getting another cholesterol test.

About 15 minutes after I take Niacin I get a flushing warm effect and all of my skin turns bright red and then starts itching with a tingly feeling that feels like I rolled around in fiberglass insulation. The effects go away within an hour but it's a hell of a way to start the day.

Just a day of errands, cleaning house, and promoting the nasties planned for today. It's looking like rain and still no new pole in my hole so wondering if it will have to be dug again by the time of pole insertion.

But you have been allergic to nicotine, smoke etc, didn't you? And Niacin basicly is only a B vitamin, weird. You don't eat fat, meat... this cholesterol thing is a mystery, mine had been high always without reason and is high now too. The dr.s gave me a ton of new prescriptions too but I teared them apart and told them to stop it. Poor Cleo!

Try flush-free niacin. I used to get it bad, would get a red rash head to toe with the normal niacin, but the flush-free doesn't seem to do that to me.

Also try policosanol
and Gugulipid
as both have been proven in other countries to lower cholesterol. I currently take those two, flax seed oil, soy lethicin, niacin, and stopped eating meat. My cholesterol went from 283 to 175 without statin drugs.

I'm on prescription time release niacin that is 500 mg. Time release part is suppose to help but the effects are still pretty wicked at that dosage.

No meat here, I'm a vegetarian.

Morning
We went to see Obama yesterday here at Cashman field. My friend from the Palms had some VIP section tickets and surprisingly noone else wanted them. Both John and my RugDawg shook his hand. It was PACKED.

Took us 2 hours to get out and that was with a ride waiting for us. John took a few pics on his phone but it was so crowded I couldn't even reach in my bag to get to my camera.

Today is more work.. no play.. I'm such a dull girl.

Have a good one.. make some $$
