Ed has some very good advice. Mine was 282 when I first had it tested in my mid thirties. Tried diet, exercise and Mevacor. I'm pretty much a picture of health (luck). It didn't have even the slightest effect on my level. As a matter of fact it went up. So after awhile I quit the medication because it affected the liver. A few years ago it was at 320. I tried Mevacor again at a higher dose upon recommendation of my current doctor. The last test (and first after starting the medication again) was 209, so I'm pretty happy, although I don't know if the level will stay down. I can't imagine having over a 1,000. I think I'll have a glass of wine.
