any physician office that has a blood works lab. They extracted a small vial of my mana and sent the results a week later

I eat fastfood for breakfast and lunch, 6-7 days a week. Have for the past 3 years. I don't exercise because I get enough from my line of work. I eat anything I want. 6ft, 165lbs, 32 years old.

Any way one can test one's cholesterol at home? Dangerous chemistry and strange machine suggestions welcome.

Prick your finger and lick the blood, if it tastes like butter your cholesterol is to high.

Don't have the exact data handy, but my totals the last few times were 244, 239 and 260. After that my doctor put me on simvastatin every other day, and three months later it was down to 196. Due to be checked again in a couple weeks.
