Just an interesting update on this! My latest lab results have just come through & my total cholesterol has reduced. It was in the 7 range (in the unit of measurement we have it here in Australia), even reaching 8.1 a few months ago. Now it has reduced to the mid-6s. Because this was a fasting test, my trigs are perfectly normal. My LDL is still above normal & my HDL is the higher-normal range. But the surprising thing is that my Neph are not urging me now to start a statin. I'll keep up with my new herb & see what my next results will be like. Seems to be promising.

Long ago when I first started one of the statins I got so achy and sore, I complained to my Dr and she dropped that one and started me on prevastatin. OK, years on that I'm always achy, then Heart Dr Lady changed me to atorvastatin. She didn't like my labs I guess. I've been so sore weak and achy I finally gave in and quit taking it. One of them noticed my bad labs last week and have started the prevastatin again. All my Dialysis labs are , it is only my cholesterol that is out of wack. I still think I am pretty fortunate.
