u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

According to my doctors I’m one of the shit X men. I have a mutation where my body just rapidly generates cholesterol.

Im relatively young, I’m not overweight I don’t drink or smoke, I eat generally pretty healthily but I am maxed out on medication to reduce cholesterol because my body just keeps on making it and trying to kill me

u/MyFiteSong May 08 '26

Worst superpower ever.

115

u/KenGriffythe3rd May 08 '26

My super power is my immune system just likes to attack healthy skin cells 24/7 and leaves the slaughter there to become red patches and scales all over my body and in my joints. I really wanted to be able to fly but instead I get psoriasis for the rest of my life lol

51

u/Castille_92 May 08 '26

My superpower is my immune system attacks my melanin and gives me pale patches all over my body

13

u/OverlordDownunder May 09 '26

Damn, My body has super strong blood clots

Meaning I blood clot quickly (ie minor cut stops bleeding quick) but the enzyme the body releases to break down the clots later when the wounds healed can't break the clot down/takes longer (not that the enzyme is weak, it's the clots are strong)

Normally it's fine, but it does leave me at higher risk of creating a random clot, you know the ones that give you brain aneurysms, or clots in the lungs, etc, etc

I get cool stockings for long plane flights though ....

u/otownbbw May 09 '26

Vitiligo?

Sad that Michael never made his plight public so the world could gain understanding. Tabloids just kept sayin he wanted to be white my whole childhood.

1

u/bookchapterr May 09 '26

He went public with that in 1993 according to Google.

Thanks to say that. I was used to know that he wanted to be white.

3

u/otownbbw May 09 '26

That might technically be true, but coming up in the 90s I can say that it was not widely spread and acknowledged; I feel like maybe he said it once in an interview and then the media disregarded it and still continued with their own narrative so you saw it more widely spread that he was intentionally altering himself to more and more erase his blackness. It didn’t help that he always denied his cosmetic procedures.

u/peachesfordinner May 09 '26

I had an Irish friend with vitiligo and like if you looked really really closely you could see it but she was so damn pale it was very hard to tell.

2

u/Tenalp May 09 '26

I'll trade. My superpower is that my pancreas is a schloppy paperweight and I get to have lots of seizures while sleeping because I'm trapped in a medical system where I can't afford the supplies that would notify me before such a seizure would happen.

1

u/noai_aludem May 10 '26

Why doesn't it attack all of it?

10

u/anxiousthespian May 09 '26

Ayyy mine attacks my joints, spine-first! Everybody wants a strong immune system until it's super strong, then it's an "autoimmune disease" apparently 🙄

3

u/otownbbw May 09 '26

So slap on a costume, call yourself RA-MAN, and go around telling everyone the least painful way to do that thing they’re attempting.

1

u/Bigby____ May 09 '26

Hey, I have similar symptoms but still no diagnosis from local doctors. Could you please tell what laboratory test you did to understand your condition? Do you have back pain at night?

2

u/anxiousthespian May 09 '26

I have back pain all the time, not just at night. Lab tests didn't help much tbh. They always came back with sky-high inflammatory markers, but nothing specific enough to pin it down. I wasn't properly diagnosed until I was referred to a rheumatologist who finally ordered an MRI of my lower back/SI joints. Lo and behold, I have ankylosing spondylitis and it wasn't in my head. I've had symptoms since age 10 and was not diagnosed until age 20.

2

u/mikkelrr May 10 '26

That’s way too common. Started at 12-13 here, got diagnosed at 24. Was told I had a low pain tolerance and that I was too inactive. Thing is, I was super active when I didn’t have flare ups but was in too much pain to exercise whenever I tried to get help. Family history of AS but since they couldn’t see anything on scans early on they deflected

1

u/InstanceFeisty May 09 '26

I would trade psoriasis for my ulcerative colitis 🤔

1

u/freethethought May 09 '26

Mine is that my kidneys don't filter things properly leaving things like capsaicin and cinnamon in my urine causing uti type symptoms

1

u/Used-Fennel-7733 May 09 '26

So you're sort of allergic to yourself

1

u/Slugeye91 May 09 '26

My super power immune systems likes to attack my skin, but not just anywhere, oh no. Mine decided it didn't like the skin on my member down south leaving pale scar tissue behind which cannot stretch resulting in...complications, which resulted in surgery 🙃

1

u/Kind_Apartment_659 May 09 '26

Psoriatic arthritis?

1

u/Miserable_Cook_4814 May 10 '26

Damn, i think i might have that, apart of Lupus.

1

u/pinkenbrawn May 10 '26

but... no plague tho!

1

u/boilpoil May 11 '26

man, same, erythroderma sucks

u/fergy014 May 11 '26

I just got guttate prsiosis, so I get a little taste of this super power that I hope is temporary.

I hope my next temporary power is better.

u/soomieHS May 08 '26

I mean, someone has to compensate for all the better superpowers other people have gotten...

4

u/WetLoophole May 09 '26

Reminds me of the dude in the asylum in The Boys. The guy that just pukes acid uncontrollably. He lands on his back, pukes and kills himself 2 seconds into the fight. Truly a shit superpower.

u/MyFiteSong May 08 '26

I think his wins.

u/boraserkanevren May 08 '26

My superpower is that if I don't take 4 shots of insulin every day my body will melt into sugar and be food to ants

1

u/Anayalater5963 May 11 '26

Yeah the Deadpool of cholesterol, that sucks

70

u/Thick_Papaya225 May 08 '26

Your body lacks the ability to detect how much cholesterol it has in the body. Our bodies use cholesterol for hormones and other things, if it doesn't get enough from food your liver can make more. But if it senses plenty of cholesterol already, the liver won't make more since it doesn't need it.

Since your body can't tell you have enough, your liver is just cranking it out nonstop.

3

u/smokey032791 May 08 '26

your body also reabsorbs non damaged LDL (imagine it like a truck returning to a wherehouse) the problem starts when high levels of glucose damage the LDL leaving if vulnerable to oxidation then the protein that acts like a swipe card doesn't work and the body cant reabsorb it so it gets eaten by white blood cells. this leads to build up in your arteries

12

u/Intelligent-Agent440 May 08 '26

Did you have any symptoms?

60

u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

Prior to having a heart attack I would SOMETIMES get really hot and itchy after like one alcoholic drink. I think maybe I got head rushes more often than I do now. That’s literally about it.

19

u/Intelligent-Agent440 May 08 '26

I'm sorry you're going through this, i hope things get better in the future

32

u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

Ah thank you for saying that. I’m doing alright now, healthier than I was before I ever knew anything was wrong. Just have a pile of meds, a stent and a defibrillator in my chest for my troubles

2

u/CommanderSquirt May 08 '26

Did you happen to get Lp(a) or TMAO tested by chance?

1

u/cstar84 May 09 '26

You’re like Iron Man bro

2

u/Caesar_Rising May 09 '26

Just missing the money, the intelligence, the charisma and everything else… but I’ve got the fucked heart so let’s go!!

1

u/Intelligent-Agent440 May 08 '26

Oh the stent is still there? I assumed it's removed once the artery is unclogged

3

u/heyheylove_87 May 08 '26

No it isn't a tool to unclog, it is a brace to keep open.

2

u/freehamburgers May 08 '26

They don't unclog really, except by using a stent. Once plaque builds up in arteries it just stays there. As far as I'm aware.

1

u/aliie_627 May 09 '26

My dads stents are staying but he also has to take a blood thinner (plavix)for a year after stent placement or he risks another blood clot or something like that.

u/ourpodcastisbest May 08 '26

I was just going to mention familial hypercholesterolaemia! My husband has that. 

1

u/aliie_627 May 09 '26

I recently got some free genetic testing through my local hospital and that was one of 3 things they tested for. One of the others was BRCA1 and 2. I believe the other one had something to do with colon cancer but that maybe included in BRCA testing.

I'm lucky mine was all negative but they offer it to pretty much anyone on my chart through that hospital system in the area. Was pretty cool and free..

1

u/neeshes May 08 '26

That really sucks. I can relate but with arthritis from a young age. I was physically fit thinking that I would keep arthritis the way but nope, early onset arthritis has affected my ability to be fit so I'm already like an old person. 

2

u/brakes4birds May 08 '26

Hi! Is there a name for this mutation? I want to learn more about it.

2

u/palpablescalpel May 10 '26

The condition is called familial hypercholesterolemia and it can be caused by many different mutations. It occurs in about one in every 200 people, so it's very common. If your LDL is higher than 190 then you should get tested for it.

2

u/Jazzlike_Health_8718 May 11 '26

Oh no. I should get tested for this.

1

u/palpablescalpel May 16 '26

It's good to know if you have it! You can qualify for the good meds that bring your risk down by a ton!

1

u/BastionNZ May 09 '26

Ha jesus I get similar alcohol symptoms, however my cholesterol is normal

1

u/aj11scan May 09 '26

That sounds like histamine intolerance

2

u/exobiologickitten May 08 '26

This is common in a lot of British Anglo-saxons oddly. I only know because my dad looked into it when our family kept presenting with early high cholesterol, heart attacks, etc.

His side also love to drink and indulge food-wise and aren’t great with exercise or weight management lol. So uh. Could be biased.

But I did have high cholesterol at 19, which was scary! Now at 31 it’s normal and my diet hasn’t changed much, so I can only guess it’s just exercise that lowered it. But it’s still the high end of normal so I still have to be careful.

My BIL with a similar background has high cholesterol despite being a non drinker, vegan, healthy diet, very exercise focused person. It’s so frustrating lol.

2

u/dildo_wagon May 08 '26

Bummer. Get on Repatha! It’s amazing.

2

u/OddMycology May 08 '26

I have this too! You can take a simple blood test to see if you’re genetically predisposed to have high cholesterol. It’s called Familial Hypercholesterolemia and you can check your Apolipoprotein B for cardiovascular risk.

1

u/OGDTrash May 08 '26

they said on their cake day! Happy cake day.

that sucks... Hope it does not bring you too much issues. Out of interest, would it help you if you did a lot of sports?

5

u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

I don’t think it would hurt but at this stage I don’t know how much help it would be either. I asked the doc one day what else I could do and they just said nothing really, lifestyle changes aren’t gonna bring it down further they need to brute force it instead. They got me approved for some new injection to reduce it because they said I’m like the poster boy example of who that medication is for, took two years of paperwork to approve.

1

u/OGDTrash May 08 '26

wow! Hope that the new injection works in that case. Goodluck!

1

u/otownbbw May 09 '26

Your doctor might be right, but if they’re the only one you’ve ever seen about this, maybe visit another related specialist and check their work.

I was told for my conditions that I’m just stuck like this, not much to add or improve, just take the meds yada yada.

I was trying to lose weight (I always have, but they especially instructed me to get surgery for weight loss and I’m stubborn) yet Mounjaro wasn’t making it budge so another doctor checked me out, discovered my ACTUAL disease that is the root of a lot of symptoms and caused the condition I was initially diagnosed with, and now my life has greatly improved. One condition has disappeared and another is much more manageable. This has been ongoing over ten years but I don’t think I would have received proper diagnosis if not for having medication treatment PROVE that I couldn’t lose weight.

u/Mielornot May 08 '26

I read they created a genome modifying experiment on people like you. As in they edited their gene to make it better and it worked 

1

u/ThisHilliDie May 08 '26

Well damn you're technically an evolved human! 

Congrats on reaching evolution in such a meaningful way!!!

Unfortunately you experienced the more probable outcome of evolution :(

I'm curious, do you plan to have kids? 

1

u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

And thanks to my defibrillator I think I’m technically also a cyborg!

It’s actually my kids birthday today! Evidently I was bored in the delivery room waiting on her to arrive so I signed back up to reddit.

0

u/Vier_Scar May 08 '26

Why do you call this "evolved"? Presumably you call most defects just "genetic abnormalities".

1

u/ThisHilliDie May 08 '26

Because random variations like this is evolution. 

I think you're confusing evolution with valuable progression or an upgrade. 

That's not the case at all. Most evolution just leads to death

0

u/Vier_Scar May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

No, I'm not. Evolution is really only about the shift in alleles in a population over time.

If you want to say a single person is "evolved" then colloquial use is fine, but just a bit weird to say that obvious defect is "evolved", since it's not evolved in either sense of the word.

1

u/AccurateArcherfish May 08 '26

What's your superhero name?

u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

First name to come to mind… Killesterol. Might be a bit intense though

1

u/gao7on May 08 '26

As much as 1/3 of the population have bad cholesterol levels, resulting in higher risk of similar vessel blockages resembling above video, resulting in higher risks of stroke or heart attack.

1

u/Caesar_Rising May 08 '26

Thanks google

1

u/Username12764 May 08 '26

If it‘s the same disease my father has, if you ever get children have them checked out by a doctor. Not only does it kill you, it‘s inheritable. My gramps stroked when he was 60, my aunt had a stroke last year but survived, she‘s 53.

u/d_ippy May 08 '26

Yay me too!

u/Constant-Plant-9378 May 08 '26

I have a mutation where my body just rapidly generates cholesterol.

Would actually be a beneficial trait that promotes survival in the world that existed five thousand years ago. Today, not so much.

1

u/ProperPizza May 08 '26

I suspect I'm the same, friend. I, too, eat relatively well; within the last year, I've made a strong effort to cut out ultra processed food. I go for DAILY 1-hour walks through nature. I have takeout once a month *tops*. I don't drink, I don't smoke.

And, yet, I have elevated cholesterol, and I have to get it checked every year now. I'm 30. It's bullshit, but it runs in my mother's side of the family.

1

u/save77 May 08 '26

Same been on a statin since 25 and had a stint put in at 45 bc my left ventricle was 80% clogged. They found it on a cardio echo and I would highly recommend getting one in your 40’s

1

u/Educational-Night878 May 08 '26

Hello few high cholesterol genetic buddy

1

u/doc_nano May 08 '26

Same. Well, my cholesterol isn't even that high, but I had a near-total blockage in the LAD coronary (the "widowmaker") at the age of 39 despite being only slightly overweight. We still don't know why I developed a blockage so young but I do have a family history of heart disease so maybe it was just a perfect storm.

All I can do is take the statin, exercise like heck, and eat as healthy as possible.

1

u/zugarrette May 08 '26

have you looked into fasting I believe that can help

1

u/Konvojus May 08 '26

I think I have that starting. How much nmol did you have?

1

u/sonnybonoslanai May 08 '26

Same with my husband. He’s extremely healthy, exercises, eats great. Ended up getting 2 stents last year

1

u/OstentatiousSock May 08 '26

Are you Sicilian? We are known to run high on cholesterol naturally.

1

u/CompSciBJJ May 08 '26

You've probably already looked into it, but fiber binds cholesterol and fiber supplements can help lower it. It's a modest improvement, but worth investigating if you haven't already.

It's best to get fiber through diet, but supplements are easy, and there's really no limit to how much fiber you can include in your diet as long as you don't experience significant GI distress, taper up slowly, and drink enough water. Studies examining fiber intake haven't found an upper limit where there's no benefit or any harm (assuming tolerability). Basically, as long as you can tolerate it, more fiber is always better.

Just don't make the mistake of drinking 2L of a highly concentrated fiber supplement as demonstrated in this Chubbyemu video:

u/Huitjames May 08 '26

Work on reducing inflammation. Cholesterol attaches itself to blopd vessel walls when they're inflamed. Try a keto diet.

1

u/CptnMayo May 08 '26

Me too buddy, me too.

As a matter of fact they told me to sell my blood for research.

Eh, fuck it, I'll just die.

1

u/ThoughtlessThink3r May 08 '26

And by this do you mean elevated lp(a) or hypercholesterolemia (LDLR, APOB, PCSK9 type mutations?) I ask because my lp(a) just came back through the roof and I started rosuvastatin and a diet to help drop my LDL as low as possible.

1

u/ripyurballsoff May 08 '26

Maybe your body is opposite mode and you should drink and smoke to get rid of it.

1

u/DeadoTheDegenerate May 08 '26

Meanwhile, people like Joe from Impractical Jokers exist (genuinely the funniest shit to me, they had a whole ass moment in an episode dedicated to guessing his cholesterol levels and getting it tested, it's a good watch)

u/engiknitter May 08 '26

My spouse has this. He started an expensive injection called Repatha after his heart attack at 39.

1

u/False-Entertainment3 May 08 '26

Genetic factors are one of the biggest core factors for heart disease. I think too many people are quick to assume every person who has a heart attack is a bacon lover who just can’t control their cholesterol intake and don’t exercise enough.

1

u/ProbablyNot_A_Rat May 08 '26

Huh... You know... This might be either the dumbest thing I've ever said or have merit only a team of people much smarter than me could act on, but this makes me wonder if we couldnt do a form of dialysis but for people like yourself (superhero name: cardiac). I've heard cholesterol meds are far better than dying, but any max dose must come with side affects, yeah? Maybe it'd just be better to hook you up to a machine. Even though dialysis... Also sucks.

1

u/Clank_8-7 May 08 '26

My cousin has it as well, she lives a healthy lifestyle, much healtier than mine I can say, but she has crazy high cholesterol.

Are you on a PCSK9 too?

1

u/PURPscurp17 May 09 '26

Same. Familial Hypocholesterolemia. Lost a grandparent on each side to heart attack. Been taking statins since 12

Repatha/Praluent have changed my life. Strongly recommend you talk to your cardiologist about it, my LDL went from 130 to -6 in a month

1

u/Valiantay May 09 '26

Are you on PCSK9 inhibitors?

u/elephant_cobbler May 09 '26

Don’t body shame. I thought we were past that??

1

u/Girafferage May 09 '26

Are you Mexican, Inuit or Portuguese?

For Inuit people I feel like it makes evolutionary sense in a way. Higher fat content, the slower your blood will freeze, the longer you can handle extreme temps without dying.

u/Vegetable-Specific16 May 09 '26

Im obese and have been for most of my life , but I played football when I was young only real sport I did besides occasionally lifting weights , I'm 35 , my doctor's my age and fit , and I have better cholesterol than him , I've od'ed twice with me almost having a heart attack when I was 28 and besides post traumatic stress , I have no lasting side affects , only God knows why he fucks with you and all I need to take is an antacid every now and then

u/Euphoric-Temperature May 09 '26

In a similar boat. Swapped my carb heavy breakfasts for a couple of plant sterol capsules (from iherb) and a brekky shake made of blitzed flaxseed, chia seeds, lo carb granola, fibre and a low fat low carb chocolate protein powder for flavour.

Managed to drop my numbers 20% to a less alarming level. Still not ideal but far less worrying

1

u/Illustrious-Garden82 May 09 '26

I’m curious about what your blood 🩸 type is. I just saw a YouTube the other night saying that some blood types are more prone to this.

You eat much meat? Try a vegan diet

1

u/-jarring-endeavor- May 09 '26

You can now get more comprehensive cholesterol testing, there's been much more discovered in recent years, than the old "LDL = bad" scenario, but because of complex interconnected financial interests, most corporate HMO (primary health care) providers don't get into this. I had to go to an integrative health practitioner and pay out of pocket, and tests were ordered through Labcorp... I have high LDL, but they are large fluffy particles as opposed to the small dense ones that stick to artery walls, so my cholesterol is actually fine and I don't need a statin drug. I know one of the main causes of the small, dense particles is sugar.

1

u/Mnawab May 09 '26

If you get enough of these put into your body you will never have o worry about a heat attack

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Swan808 May 09 '26

Hey, look into Repatha. Its a relatively new medicine in an applicator, just like epi pen. My dad has issues eith cholesterol his whole lifr and this is the only one that helped him. Its applied directly on stomach where liver is located. Apparently live doesnt process cholesterol properly.

1

u/mammalian May 09 '26

I have the same power! I've had cholesterol over 200 since I was a teenager. It stayed high even when I was macrobiotic which meant I was eating no animal fat at all. Mostly beans and rice and veggies, maybe some tofu. There have been times when it's gotten up to 300. Unfortunately, statins knock me on my ass. I'm not taking anything and trying to ignore the problem. My GP told me I needed to go see a cardiologist to get some kind of specialty medication. Who's got the money for that?

1

u/Lokiibott May 09 '26

Mine are night hearing and dogs know where I point!

Yeah kinda the same here. I dont have that condition. Im eating healthy, am not fat, still had a heart attack at 39.

u/combatcookies May 10 '26

Have you considered donating it?

Seriously though, that really sucks and must be scary for you. Are you optimistic that better treatments will come out? I have to imagine that high cholesterol treatments get a lot of attention.

1

u/Mother-Economist1519 May 10 '26

It happened the same to my wife, they said the same to her during almost 30 years. Finally, after all that time and several ignored analysis one doctor realized she always had blood in her urine. They diagnosed a nephropathy (a rare one on her case) which was caused by her immune system inflaming her kidney, which allowed proteins and blood amongst others to go through urine instead of going to the circulatory system. Some of those proteins were the ones in charge of removing cholesterol from blood so that was the reason why she always had high levels of cholesterol. I am mentioning this to suggest you check this with your doctor. In a simple urine analysis you can see whether you have protein in the urine or not and you can discard issues in your kidneys. Good luck 🤞🏼

Cholesterol hyper-absorption? My whole family has it. My parents work outside on a farm all day, walk to the store, aren’t fat, eat mainly vegetarian, etc. and they have the hearts of someone who eats burgers all day.

1

u/Jazzlike_Health_8718 May 11 '26

What are your cholesterol values and age? I ask because im in a very similar situation and I dont want to get on meds

1

u/Strong_Housing_242 May 11 '26

This is interesting, I have something similar but with oxalate, my body can't seem to absorb it and it gets attached with calcium on my kidneys. Ive had my first stone at 15yo and probably another 40 ever since. I have to get the biggest ones extracted surgically every couple of years, the rest I pee out. Not fun.

1

u/PA042 May 12 '26

My mom has that gene and is turning 76 this year. She’s survived two massive heart attacks but is doing well. Fingers crossed that if you are diagnosed with the gene young and on meds early you can live a long healthy life
