[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 607531, member: 6655"] Lammie, it might be worthwhile to try a different med. There are about 6 or 8 that are commonly used, and some folks can only tolerate a particular one. I was on zetia for a while and it got the numbers waaaay down, but studies showed that other than the low numbers, it was useless. My total has been around 115 or 120, LDL 60s, and HDL 30s, the last few years. Perfect except for the HDL which should be 40 or more. Doc said to exercise to get the HDL up. Farm work does not count as exercise, so I started working out diligently, and lo and behold, my HDL went from 39 to 36 in a year. As a general rule, the general rules (diet and exercise) don't do anything for me, Go figger. But the main thing is that the statin drugs do offer many benefits beyond lowering the numbers, so it would be nice if you could find one that you can tolerate. Recent studies suggest that they may also be useful in combatting Alzheimers disease. :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
