That's good information to know, but no, I'm not on the pill.

I feel like I went from a young, vital woman (o.k., not young, I'm 42) to an old woman over the course of a 45 minute appointment. The doctor also says my hand pain is probably arthritis and I should get a full body check from a dermatologist.

Some of us just get the short end of the genetic stick. I had to start bp meds last year at the ripe old age of 28 . My mother started them at about the same age. At least now I don't get headaches all the time.

Lo123 I know a girl in my class who is 24 and diagnosed with hyperlipidemia already. She is the size of a pencil so it can't be linked to obesity of any kind. I mean she is REALLY skinny too. It's just nuts how the genetics play into things sometimes!
