Until my grandkids enlightened me I did think LOL meant Lots of Love. I'll bet you can't read Pitman's shorthand? I can still write & read it after learning it more than 50 years ago. How boring if we all had identical skills, don't you think?
No but I can read the Form Book. Many Racing journalists still use shorthand.
Do they really? I thought everyone except dinosaurs like me used technology to record everything these days! I should add that I sometimes have difficulty reading it back if I don't do it straight away, but at my age that sometimes applies to my hand writing too!
I used to be able to do 120 wpm in shorthand and 90 typing - modern keyboards have totally wrecked my typing speed, especially those ditsy laptop ones
Atkins died from trauma to the brain resulting from a fall
As to the T2 research - can't remember who did it but the info is out there, and in bucket loads. if you're interested that is, but if not, it will at least give you more info to troll us with :-)

Your GP Recommend.cholesteral levels should be below 5.
How about my being between 3.4 and 3.6, yet was prescribed 40mg.Atorvastatin. Started have muscle cramps. Reduced to 20mg. still the same problems.
The question is do I need the statin? if yes what for. Our body do require Chlorestrol. IT is actually made in our lever everynight. From what I understand, the statin, in general actually interfer with this process, They lower the Chlorestrol, even the HDL, this benificial type.
Well my cardiologist and GP prescribed to me, probably blindfolded.
I am really amazed to read about the problems, that statin has caused people on this forum. The damage sometimes are permanent.
Very scarry.

up to 90% blockage in LAD with Chlorestrol of 3.4-3.6. Where is the connection?
Hi F
I do not know health problems due high cholesterol.
My own case....
I had 90% LAD blockage , at 3.4 cholesterol. This can't be considered as being High. Therefore I am a living example that there are factors other than cholesterol that causes the blockage.
I am 55-56 Kg at 5ft 5inch, a non smoker, non diabetic. very active. was going to gym everymoring at the time. Very active with diy and gardening, yet up to 90% blockage. The cause are more mysterious and not that easy to find for some like me.
Yet I am prescribed Atorvastatin. What for?
Hi Hirani
Statins such as Atorvastatin are now believed to have anti coagulant properties which is probably why they were prescribed for you.
Have you been tested for high blood cortisol levels?
