Familial hypercholesterolemia? LDL 202 / Cholesterol 273 despite weight loss and normal A1c

Just got my fasting lipid panel back (12-hour fast). I’m a 40-year-old male, 5’11”, 181 lbs (down from 240 lbs over the past year on Mounjaro 15 mg).

Results:

Total Cholesterol: 273 mg/dL
LDL: 202 mg/dL
HDL: 43 mg/dL
Triglycerides: 139 mg/dL
Non-HDL: 229 mg/dL

Other relevant labs:
HbA1c: 5.19%
AST: 18.9 U/L
ALT: 16.3 U/L
Creatinine: 0.99 mg/dL

My physician recommended starting rosuvastatin 20 mg which I’ve already done. I haven’t had ApoB or Lp(a) checked yet, but I’m planning to.

Given that my LDL is still over 200 despite major weight loss and otherwise normal labs, I’m wondering if this points toward a genetic cause like familial hypercholesterolemia.

Has anyone had a similar profile, and how much did your LDL drop on rosuvastatin 20 mg?

Amazing Service from the LGW crew in Club World

I usually see negative comments on here so wanted to shout the LGW crew on my flight this week! Amazing service from start to end.

They all took the opportunity to get to know us passengers above and beyond what was necessary.

I fly this route maybe once a year and as a One World Emerald status holder thru AA’s Executive Platinum, this was easily my best flight with BA in Club World, making up for the dated hard product on this 777-200 without Club Suites.

Thank you Sonia, Caroline and the Gatwick crew for an amazing flight!

BA2683 IBZ→LGW: Flight delayed, BA closed check-in at original time with no staff present, stranded in Ibiza for 2 days. UK261 claim incoming. Anyone dealt with this?

Booked on BA2683 IBZ→LGW on 27 June, scheduled 18:55. BA sent a vague early-morning email saying the flight may be delayed due to weather-related ATC restrictions, advising me to arrive for the original departure time. By noon their own website showed a confirmed new departure of 22:32. I was checked in online.

I arrived at IBZ at 19:43 — nearly 3 hours before the new departure. Inbound flight hadn’t even left LGW. BA check-in was completely unmanned. No BA staff anywhere in the airport.

An Iberia agent confirmed BA had closed check-in at the original 18:55 despite the flight departing at 22:32.

Called American Airlines Exec Desk (reward booking), got rebooked 2 days later, miles & taxes refunded — stellar service from AA.

The fallout:
Forfeited non-refundable Hilton Gatwick: $150.93

2 emergency nights in Ibiza (only option available, peak summer Saturday): $816.05

Meals and transport on top

Home 3 days late

BA’s likely defence is the early morning email. My counter: it said may be delayed with no check-in deadline, their website showed 22:32, I arrived nearly 3 hours before that, and there were no staff present regardless.
AA Executive Platinum / BA Gold here. Filing for £350 UK261 compensation plus full expense reimbursement (~$970+ USD). Also covered by Heymondo Premium travel insurance.

I asked BA agents on checkin 2 days later if it was standard practice to close in this manner, and they said that it’s all up to BA, sometimes they keep the counters open and sometimes they are told to close the flight.

Two questions:
Has anyone successfully claimed against BA where check-in closed early during a delay? Is this standard BA practice?

Has BA successfully used the ATC/adverse weather extraordinary circumstances exemption to dodge UK261 compensation?

Choco Mountain Glitch

I’ve noticed that whenever playing the intermission track Whistlestop Summit into Choco Mountain online VS races, I get pulled to the right of the stage, right before the bridge. It causes me to miss the item boxes, and sometimes even puts you on top of the bridge. Also happens to other friends in the room.

Anyone else?

Invisalign Ultrasonic Cleaner stopped working after 1 week

I saw the many reviews on Amazon with a high failure rate, figured they probably resolved these issues by now and decided to purchase directly from Invisalign (they had a good sale & coupon).

Unfortunately stopped working and doesn’t turn on after 1 week of use.

I’ve reached out to Invisalign to see what they say.

Definitely stay away from these

I’ve had access to Amazon Monthly payments (up to 5 months at 0% interest) for quite some time.

I’ve noticed that this option is no longer visible when checking out.

Is it the same for everyone else or is this just my account?
