I’m a little late to the party, but just catching up on the feeds. I’m so glad to hear that you have a manageable diagnosis!! Keep us updated and how the journey is going.

@NYCWD, I’m not a healthcare professional like you are, but a lot of my work is for cardiologists, and what you’re saying sounds like all the stuff I read. It’s not that the treatment would cause heart disease, Britt – it’s that a lot of people with this have it already. We’s just worried about you!

Hey Britt,
I have been quietly reading about this for awhile not having much to say because really how much does “I’m sorry, I know it sucks when people look at your like you’re an attention seeking nutbag” really help…

Anyway I am so happy for you that you have answers to your questions and you know what you need to do to keep your train on the tracks so to speak.

Love and hugs
Jen

@Miss Britt, I have a family member who has Metabolic Disease and I know a bit about it. I looked it up online just now and pretty much everything I already knew and have now read are the same.

I don’t think Metabolic Disease is the correct term your doctor is trying for.

And belly fat isn’t “a little tummy.” Belly fat is “can’t see your crotch” fat.

@Miss Britt, Actually that’s not the reason I’m asking at all.

Metabolic Syndrome, in my experience, goes hand in hand with heart disease. I always thought it was a genetic thing… and am hard pressed to think of a Metabolic Syndrome patient who did not have CAD.

So… I just want to make sure he’s delved deep enough…

@Donna, I’ve heard a lot of conflicting stuff from people who have looked up information on line. The doctor DID, actually, mention the belly fat – and, well, no pictures – but. Heh.

From what the doctor explained to me, it’s not a cut and dry thing and the problem is the chain reaction that it causes, which isn’t necessarily identical in every body.
