> the other thing that crossed my mind is the cholesterol test is supposed to be done fasting, like first thing in the morning.
> And yes, you should have stopped th fish oil at least a few days b4 from what I've heard.
> i'd be interested if you do retest to hear what the difference is in your results as I've never heard of any actual individual results. personally I like to hear a few people having the same result difference to be sure.Well I lied in my first post, I did have a test a couple months ago but didn't fast. It was my first visit with a new GP and wasn't expecting bloodwork. So this actually was a re-test, this time fasting. It was way worse than the first one! I'm hoping it's a lab goof-up, I had a test come back once with my white count out of sight. Took another test the next day and it was fine.
> It didn't seem like a thyroid type difference to me at all BTW<g>

> Also I'm trialling taking some things to increase the sulphur or sulponation or methylation..unsure of term (MSM and glucosamine sulphate and chrondrontin sulphate mix with iron and magnesium)..I'm hoping that's a good combo. I'd like to add in NAC here too.I've been taking quite a bit of MSM for a while now.
> as well as keeping my ferritin in the 50-100 range..well above 50 is the aim for me(that's liquid iron).
> I'm just testing a theory that maybe a combo of sufficient iron and sulphur might help break down cholesterol...no idea if it works though. Both are needed in using cholesterol as well as other things..that's the logic behind it all.Hmmm, didn't have any minerals checked. I really don't have a clue how this all works, I just want to avoid taking another drug, or at least keep the dose down as far as possible.
