Thanks!!! That is great news! Went to the derm today and he wasn't worried. He said that was a normal elevation to have on to accutane and I can continue my treatment. Cheering! Thanks for the awesome insight guys, it's been an interesting thread :)

Throwing another shrimp on the barbie of course Nsw here :D

Thanks for the insight :)

Did they keep you on it?

Ahhhhh... I've been downing over 100g protein every day due to high intensity training, and taking l carnitine..

I've just bought some omega 3 tablets, so hopefully they help out and I can continue with my treatment!:happy:

It would be interesting to do the above and see how my results differ.

SHE is in the thread. Originally I was just asking for people's theories, I'm not taking this information for gospel. I understand my doctor was just telling me the numbers, but that's all he did. He didn't explain what they meant, and I believe it's His duty to do so. I asked him what may effect it other than meds, and he…

Even for being on roaccutane, the number is rather high.

Hey, thanks everyone for the amazing input!!!! You're all amazing. I have been cutting, actually.

Oh dear my bad forgot to include cholesterol at 7mmol/L

I don't even know. He was worrying me, tbh he's the worst gp I've ever been to. He didn't even explain how the results work and what's normal so I was freaking out. I don't know how it all converts haha :tongue:

Hdl 2.5 mmol/L LDL 3.7mmol/L Triglyceride 1.7mmol/L Cholesterol /hdl-c 2.8 mmol/L Vldl - 0.8 mmol/L

Oh really? was it symptomatic? Hypothyroidism runs along all the women in my dads side of the family.

I'm getting plenty of fiber in my day :]

To cut fat. I intend to enter comp in the next few months. :]

GP. I'm seeing my derm who is one of the best in Aus (Bryan Pang) on Friday, and I'm sure he has had plenty of experience with similar readings to mine and will probably have an explanation --I hope!!

Does the fact that I've recently started taking carnitine make a difference?

my doctor just asked if i ate butter, whether i exercised, checked my weight and I told him that i exercised 6 times a week, ate meticulously clean and that i eat a lot of eggs lol. he wasnt much help. to which he replied, "maybe dont eat as many eggs" lol

thanks for the conversion jonnythan :] I'm going to get my results sent to me so i can be sure.

thanks :) i'll see what my derm says Friday, fingers crossed I can continue my medication !

I was definitely fasted.

the ldl was high hdl low im 64kg 173.5cm tall 21 bmi so everything is great. I think one of the main factors may be the roaccutane but im unsure.

I forgot to mention I'm on roaccutane and that is known to raise cholesterol and that's why I get the monthly checks! My bad I didn't get a test pre-meds because the doctor said I was healthy enough (silly, I know) Also, I don't consume butter and my parents both have excellent cholesterol levels. Also, I Only have half…
