I have posted before about my cholesterol/trigliceride issues. The med I was on, vitoryn, to help I cannot take because not only did it mess with my liver it also started to destroy muscle tissue 
So the Dr. did a recheck on my blood today to check and see if my body is recovering then I will have to go on more meds starting out at a low dose. I dont hold out hope that the other meds will work without causing me other harm but I have no choice. If I dont get my cholesterol and triglicerides under control I will die at a young age
I am 37 now and with numbers like mine where/are (cholesterol 342/triglicerides 952) I would be lucky to make it to 50.
I have my bp under control at least at home though at the appt. today it was 160/100 at home it has been being around 117/80 or lower. Yes I freak out going to the Dr. and when I saw that I had gained weight when I havnt been eating much at all that just made it worse.
Like the title says I feel helpless because I dont think the meds will work and I am not sure diet is enough at this point.

Are you by chance still nursing? Nursing can throw off the test results.
