US Doctors Urge Wider Use Of Cholesterol Drugs

[happyslug]

63. 157?? I be kicking in the street for that low level

I am on the Max dosage of Lipitor, Tricor and Niacin and my numbers have a hard time staying in the 200s (and that is with modification of diet and exercise). High cholesterol does NOT run in my family (What BOTH of my grandfathers ate would harden your arteries and one was killed by drunk driver at 86, the other, about the same age, died of having worked in the Steel Mills BEFORE modern Pollution controls were invented). Both worked hard in their jobs and did a lot of walking even in their old age (neither ever owned an automobile, through I can down load their WWI draft cards).

I still have some Lipitor from before Lipitor patent ran out, but I have also used the generic ones and NOT noticed a difference (Through my most recent blood work indicates an increase in Triglycerides).
