    My sis in law drew some blood last week and sent it off thru the lab she works in and my cholesterol and trig level was much better than expected. I hadn't had them checked in 5 years. Cholesterol was 210 which is high average and the Trig level was 170- just a little over the limit.

    I truly believe it is all genetic. I know people that watch every bite and exercise a lot, and still their levels are way high. other eat what they want (including my dad) and his is always pefect. I hope I take after my Dad's side- they all live long healthy lives while my mothers side all drop at a young age even tho none of them were heavy.

    Not bad Fred. But just a note, my cholesterol was at 177 when I had my second heart attack.

    They gonna put you on meds Fred? I take Lipitor, it works great but you have to keep having blood drawn because it can cause liver damage.

    Heck no! I dont even have a family doctor up here. Other than having an ENT drill my sinuses, I haven't been to a doc in ages. I don't go for that. They skeer me! My sis in law just drew then for me because she works in a lab. The other blood work- the liver panel, TSH, Chem Panel, CBC and all were perfect.



    Love the avatar Derby. You've got a little evil streak in you. You're gonna fit in jusssst fine here.

    I've taken about all of them, Zocor, Mevacor, Lipitor and now back to Zocor for insurance purposes. It's wonderful having the luck of getting Nurse Vampira in the lab to draw blood too, had to stick me 3 times on the last visit before she hit a vein.
