    Got the results of my cholesterol tests...

    Before starting on Lescol, my LDL was 246. I've been on it for six months now and my LDL is 100. Everything else is fine as well. I never thought we'd be able to get it under control.

    WOOHOO!!!!

    Good for you! That's great!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Very cool. May I ask how your eatting habits were? I don't eat cheese, smells like stinky feet and am not a big meat eater.

    Wow... 100? That is a HUGE drop. Did you eat anything other than lettuce? LOL

    Congrats!

    Medical types... Would a 100 LDL be too low? Is there such a thing as a LDL that is too low?

    Check out side effects some people are having on this here.. http://www.askapatient.com/viewratin...me=LESCOL%20XL

    Just go read so if you start with any of these, you will know what it is and not have to suffer as long as a lot of us have/did. Also BE SURE you take CoQ-10 with any statin drug as statins deplete this important substance from your body and every cell in your body needs this.


    Ok, I will get off my soap box now and shut up...

    No, an LDL of 100 is not too low. As a T2 diabetic, I need to keep mine below 100; preferably around 70. My last one was 69.

    On my lab sheet, they give the normal range for LDL - it is 1 to 129.
