I'm on the same page as coloradoporsche and Dennis. Mine tested out at 282 in my early 30's when I first had it tested. Tried the diet thing, exercise (I did that anyway), Niacin, and Mevacor.
Diet doesn't do sh!!t. Not that I'm saying you should switch to a high fat diet. I took the Mevacor for over 2 years with no change whatsoever except for up. I finally asked my doctor if he would continue if he were me, and he said he would stop since it wasn't helping & affected my liver.
Fast forward 30 years and it's 320. My current doc says to try Lovastatin (Mevacor) again with a slightly higher dose. This time it seems to work as I'm down to 209 last time I was checked. I was also told once, by a doctor, some people have high cholesterol which can't be lowered, and they live long (normal) lives. Hang in there.
