What pics? When?
Why I ask the words "optic nerve" is because of this:

Your medical results are pictures so his software cannot decipher them to read to him. His offer to you was for you to post your test results and he would post the official report on his optic nerve
Stop carrying on as if he’s pretending. He’s been posting the same themes year in and year out ever since he joined SGT. If you want to see how difficult it is to sustain yourself “in character” you have only to consider the poster here who holds himself out to be a 20-something Singaporean. He can maintain that illusion for not more than a few posts before he jumps in to give us the benefit of his vast experience gained over 30+ years of living in Thailand. cdnmatt on the other hand has been consistent for years with his mediocre, whining narcissism - so god-awful that you just couldn’t make it up
Which family DoubleDutch? The Borgias perhaps.
Fuck!
But one thing to note, last year, same lab, same test showed Uric Acid about twice as high as this one now, and out of range high. I haven't changed anything, same food, similar lifestyle, but Uric Acid is within normal range this time.
Could the Cholesterol also go up and down similarly? Maybe it would be good idea to go and ask for further tests, looking at cholesterol closer? And maybe use another lab to see how the numbers compare.
If you have another test soon the numbers should be the same. If not you need to wonder whether the testers are to be trusted.
Go and see a doctor or heart specialist for advice. No doubt they will tell you to lose weight and stop smoking...if that applies to you!
Having a high cholesterol level one day doesn't mean you're going to have a heart attack the next day ( but you might), also your levels can go up and down depending on diet etc- HOWEVER having a permanently high level isn't good and as has been said it can lead on to other complications including heart attack etc.
The good news is that getting your cholesterol level down IS something you can address quite easily by means of reasonably simple changes to your diet etc and maybe a little excercise etc. So, in a way it's good that you're able to see your high number now as that should be telling you to do somehting about it and that you can (and should) address that before it DOES becomes a bigger medical issue.
And as Gerefan2 has said - just go see your Doctor as taking medical advice from anyone on the internet is never a good idea - but for stuff like high cholesterol, well, that advice is fairly simple and straightforward and equates to the likes of "hey I'm bleeding should I try to stop the bleeding" etc - so, yes go see someone and maybe try to get your numbers down as simply put it can't do you any harm.
Nirish is absolutely right.
I have checks every 6 months and am amazed that my cholesterol can reduce significantly with just a loss of 2 Kgs since the last check.
I queried this with the quack not beleiving that such a small loss of weight could make that much difference. He assured me it did.
Facebook is a site where people voluntarily post information about their whole lives and are then surprised when said info is sold to advertisers.
I completely missed this thread when it was first published. Thanks to the forum member who pointed me in this direction. I like to think of myself as a writer. But honestly, I'm only in the ha'penny place compared to this.
NIrish, I just read your comment about Barry turning up pregnant. So fuckin' funny.
Sorry, I had to stop reading at this point (page 6). Cdnmatt, is this available in paperback? I'd pay cash money for it.
As I basically consider most of Matts threads one long continueous kindle "free fiction ebook offer" anyways I'm thinking its about high time I wrote to Amazon to thank them !
I'm actually quite disappointed though that they didn't encourage the Author to expand on their previous topics that they glanced over as I know I for one was quite looking forward to the "Camping with Matt under the stars in Lao series" as a follow up to his popular "cooking with Matt" title, unlike the very dull "sex but no fucking with Matt" series, which was Im sorry to say both short lived and very boring ( well for at least one of the characters involved anyway) it seemed.
However, the good news is that I believe there may well be a new volume of works being released shortly ! This time not so much involving Leo from Lao but now integrating (non) exciting ( for now) new characters ( but still with no sex) but the new guy being more of a quiet unassuming "geek" type. Mind you considering that Leo from Lao was an "angel" who had in fact been raised by Monks no less I certainly wouldn't let the "quiet home bird geek" description put any short of dampener on the likelihood of a good tale as as we've already read one can ALWAYS depend on this particular Author to come up with lots of exciting twists and turns and new plot lines when they're called for.
I did wonder would there be a physical book signing even for this new edition and was going to suggest perhaps in some back street bar in Khon Kaen may be the likely venue, but after reading I think it was in Chapter 18 where our intrepid traveller was arrested and deported from Thailand no less then I fear we may now have to find a new location....... perhaps we should send suggestions to Barnes and Noble and get them to propose a few new locations for a suitable replacement venue !? :-)
