I've been on many of them all over the past 3 yrs. Back in 2009 my triglycerides were so high they couldn't get a cholesterol reading.
Matters improved after my 2011 quad by-pass and then statins to the point where my chol. showed in the 300's.
On my last visit to my cardio a few months ago he came into the room w/my lab results and said that a mistake was made - the lab sent the wrong data.
.
He then asked if I was still on ABC drug..."No". How about DEF drug? "No." How about XYZ drug? "No." This went on for another two drugs.
Doc: "Who took you off?"
Me: "I did. To many nasty side effects."
Doc: "Well, what are you doing?"
Me: "I'm taking 4000 mg of L-Arginine (L-Citrulline) and one 500 mg of Slo-Niacin per day and I've been working out, eating well, and have lost 15 lbs."
Doc: "Whatever your doing, keep doing that because your cholesterol is that of a 13 yr. old."
.
Now, I do take Vit. D, E, Ester C, Super Omega-3 Fish Oil, and a baby aspirin every morning.
