[QUOTE="Jrsav, post: 244533, member: 44962"] I have Multiple Myeloma, strong remission. 63 years old. Stem cell transplant last year. I get DaraFaspro & 20 mg dexamethasone monthly for maintenance. I have monthly blood work I was on 10 mg Revlimid daily, but quit 3 months ago to get away from the side effects. I also have congestive heart failure & occassionally arrythmia. Neither are bad and I've been untreated for this for about 15 years after having many allergic reactions to the medications. I've had many bad reactions to meds. I started 2mg testosterone patches a week ago. But after reading, I am quitting as of today. I don't know that my testosterone is low enough to justify treatment at this point. The Dr. Also wants me on a statin. Any opinions on anything would be appreciated. I recently tested low for testosterone, 12-15-2022 Testosterone Level Your Value 201.50 ng/dL Standard Range 200.00 - 750.00 ng/dL 1-17-2023 Testost Free Your Value 2.99 ng/dL Standard Range 5.00 - 21.00 ng/dL Flag L % Free Testost Your Value 1.78 % Standard Range 1.50 - 4.20 % Testosterone Tot LC/MS Your Value 168.1 ng/dL [ATTACH type="full"]28767[/ATTACH] high cholesterol [TABLE][TR][TD] Cholesterol - Total [/TD][TD] Your Value255.00 mg/dl [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] High Density Lipoprotein Chol [/TD][TD] Your Value52.00 mg/dL [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] [TABLE][TR][TD] LDL Calculation [/TD][TD] Your Value145 mg/dL [/TD][TD] Standard Range50 - 159 mg/dL [/TD][TD] [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] Expected Range: < 100 mg/dL- Optimal 100 - 129 mg/dL- Near optimal 130 - 159 mg/dL- Borderline high 160 - 190 mg/dL- High > 190 mg/dL- Very high [/TD][TD] [/TD] [TD] [/TD] [TD] [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] Cholesterol HDL Ratio [/TD][TD] Your Value4.9 Ratio [/TD][TD] Standard Range5.0 - 9.5 Ratio [/TD][TD] FlagL [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] Non-HDL Cholesterol [/TD][TD] Your Value203 mg/dL [/TD][TD] Standard Rangemg/dL [/TD][TD] [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] NCEP ATIII guidelines for non-HDL cholesterol are 30 mg/dL higher than LDL target levels.
