Has anyone experienced a higher cholesterol level once they have reached post menopause? I never had high cholesterol before and was wondering if this was just another thing that happens at this stage in life. Any comments appreciated.

Sometimes your thyroid goes wonky during menopause and one of the symptoms is high cholesterol. When I got my thyroid under control my cholesterol went down. Check out thyroid information on Mary Shoman's thyroid site on about.com and the thyroid board here.
