I went to the doctor today. He switched me to Zocor, 20 mgs. We'll see how that works. I have to go for a blood test in 6 weeks.
I, too, inherited the high cholesterol, probably from my Dad. Why couldn't I inherit his deep blue eyes. Ugh!!

I had the inherited high cholesterol, Mama's cholesterol was never below 365 and mine was that high to start out with and the reason I was put on the drug. I lowered mine by diet, just to show the doctors I could. Mama never had a hint of heart problems and all she ate was fat!
Has anyone metioned Co-Q 10, what statin drugs do to that and what role Co-Q10 has in your body?

You might want to try fish oil capsules as well. They are supposed to help a lot. The doctor wants me to take 40mg. of Zocor, but it gives me dry mouth, so instead I'm just taking the 20mg (with no side effects), and the fish oil (burpless 1200mg 2xs a day).
I hope to see some results!

Yes- fish oil DOES work. My cholesterol was a little high at 230, but doc didn't want me on any prescription meds for it unless absolutely necessary. He put me on the fish oil regimen and it brought it down to 203 in just over a month. Don't know if everyone would have the same results of course, but for me it was the way to go.Originally Posted by jenn_librarian

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.
