Well they aren't great by any means, but they are better then last time. Dr. asked me if I was doing anything different then last time and I told her I just cut back a bit more on my carbs., & eat oatmeal each morning. Naturally she would like to shove me on something for the cholesterol, but knowing my lousy side effects, just told me to keep doing what I'm doing, as at least it is coming down, VERY slowly, but down. I really haven't changed my diet at all, still eat my meats, veggies and fruit, but also got to have that pasta once a week. What can I tell ya, I have to have some vice! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Little dissappointed that the HDL went down, so have to get my buns in gear and do more exercise. Oh well, that is the report for now folks. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif JJ

http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/t_up.gifHey, those numbers aren't that bad at all! Wish I had them, especially those trigs! Keep up the good work and just keep working on them....take one day at a time and we'll just have to get better & better at this. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

GREAT JJ!! As you know, it don't happen "overnight".

Thanx folks...those numbers are almost the same as when they started me on statins, except my Trigs were only 122. I hope I can keep them down in this range or better, cause U all know how me and statins don't get along. Oh well, like they say..ONE DAY AT A TIME! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm getting too old for all this work and research, these stinking GOLDEN YEARS are getting mighty tarnished. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Oh well, off to do the vacuuming, just finished the lawn, then maybe this old lady can go relax for the rest of the day. Hang in there folks, I actually think we can do it. Good luck, God bless and have a wonderful weekend. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif JJ
