It happened to me for many years while I was misdiagnosed as bipolar. After my last stint in the ward my husband worked really hard to find me a doctor who rediagnosed me with BPD and with a correct diagnosis, therapy, and medication my life is 10 million times better/more stable.

Were you aware of your condition (familial hypercholesterolemia) before all this happened or is this how it was discovered? My husband also has this condition, and many members of his family so he knew to get checked out early and it is well managed with medication and a decent diet... I worry sometimes that it could get worse without us knowing since it's a pretty silent issue.

What a crappy card to be dealt! I'm glad you made it, you seem like an awesome dude! He does get checked every 6 months or so, so I think we're good. Just so lame that he can do so little to control it himself.
