The Dr. put me on Vytorin and applauded atkins and told me to stick with it, and exercise. Both my Dad and Mom had high cholesterol (when my Dad had his heart attack his was over 400). It just depresses me my last test a few years ago my total was only 212, with my HDL the same as now 68. Of course, I've put on 25 lbs since then too. *sigh*

I've been taking niacin, lethicin and Flax Seed Oil, but have been bad about forgetting it 1/2 the time, so going to try and take every day. I'm back on day 1 of induction again.

Any suggestions, comments on the results and treatment? I know a lot of peeps seem to be anti/cholesterol lowering drugs, and I really want to do it with diet, but I know I'm also fighting genetics pretty bad too.
