Well, I got the call from the doc's office to come in for a chat. Of course I'm thinking, "uh oh.. there goes my fatty diet! :( ".. but turns out that's not entirely the case. my HDL is extremely high, and my LDL is only borderline..
but turns out I have nearly double the high limit of iron in my system.. .and I'm not taking any supplements.
So I get to go back for tests to see if I have hemachromatosis... an inability to properly metabolise iron. Nothing serious, but I may have to become a regular blood donor as the only treatment is bleeding... which could be handy if I were looking for a vampire chick to date...
