Thanks for the kind words RedCherry. My cholesterol levels are still good at my last appt but they did jump up a bit. They could be much worse due to my families genetic history.
This is the same thing you are dealing with Cleo. Your body produces on its own, good and bad cholesterol. Most people are fortunate to produce higher levels of the good stuff. Unfortunately for me, RedCherry and yourself our bodies produce more of the bad stuff. Even with proper diet and exercise it can still be difficult to keep your levels in line.
Here is my family scare tactic of death by heart attack due to cholesterol all within males from my fathers side. Uncle 48, Grandfather 55, Great Grandpa 53, Great Great Grandpa 50. My father at 64 is the longest living male in four generations. His first attack was at 52 and if it wasn't for a quick response by a co worker, and not listening to my dad saying it was nothing, he would of died then too. Thankfully for us the industry is better able to track levels and be more proactive with medications giving us all a longer life span, hopefully
