I bought the flaxseed oil and the calcium with magnesium and some other minerals in it and a multivitamin - didn't know about the red yeast rice or some of the other things in that picture. Mine was around your levels years ago, I need to have it checked again -- you see I buy the stuff and forget to take it, doesn't matter if I keep it on my desk, 'cause then it becomes part of the landscape I don't see. I mean good things, I just don't get there. About the only thing I did right was cut way back on dairy, oops, but then that meant less calcium, sigh. Just do a better job at it than me, OK?! (And yes, I'm OK, if you don't count the cholesterol, slight weight gain, parched skin, and too much heat to exercise. :cool:) Marcias last blog post..Dona Nobis Pacem - Responsibility is Ours Join the club… I bought the flaxseed oil and the calcium with magnesium and some other minerals in it and a multivitamin – didn’t know about the red yeast rice or some of the other things in that picture.

My friend across the street with a thyroid problem had a cholesterol reading like that, too. Hers did go down with the medicine. My cholesterol went wacky when I was taking a certain type of hormone replacement therapy that had testosterone in it. It made my good cholesterol drop to like nothing. Keep eating those Cheerios, my friend!!!! I know they're not bacon, but they're much better for you :) Love you and hugs!

OMG! I'm a goner for sure then cause I have to have at least 1 -usually 3,sometimes 4 cups of coffee to get motivated even slightly, in the morning. I'd have a really difficult time giving up bacon too -even though I don't eat it all that much, but when I do cook it, I love to get my hands on as much of it as possible. (You should see my son-in-law eat bacon - he cuts off all the fat areas and eats on the meat left behind -which to me is wasting the bacon! I generally fry it crispy-crunchy and that fat just has ALL the flavor, don't 'cha know! Hope the remedies she gave you to work on the cholesteral lowering process are helpful though.

I'm thinking that's going to involve quite a bit of lifestyle change, huh? Too bad about the bacon, I know that I sure do enjoy it as well. I also wish that I could raise just 1 eyebrow. Actually, there are a lot of things that other people can do that I wish that I could (e.g. whistle).
