Thanks for sharing your important story, Larry. I am glad your doctor listened to you and did that so important test.

I have always been concerned with my Cholesterol which I have been checking for close to 20 years now. In my 30s it started rising and by my late 30s my doctor commented that I am still low risk but borderline as I am slim, fit, non smoke, drink etc. But it kept rising. So finally as I clicked 40 I went on low dose statins and now perfect numbers. I really hope that it is true and these medications do work beyond their side effects. especially since I have been diagnosed with polyneuropathy. I hope it will not be made worse by the statins!
