1/4 Huge eye opener for me. Statins forum again (sorry)
"I saw the lipidologist yesterday. The first cardiologist who saw me had never seen cholesterol scores as high as mine. The cardiology fellow hadn't either. Cholesterol was something like 600 and total was around 3500.

2/4 My xanthelasma reappeared (milder than before), so these docs were able to actually look at me & see the cholesterol leaking out of my eyes. They are putting me on Zetia, since I refused statins. They told me to eat a lot less saturated fat,
3/4 and that I probably had such high numbers because of crappy genes. (Probably ?? Didn't they do a test?)
4/4 Guess what ? Zetia won't help and Guess what else this is the IMPORTANT BIT. HIS CAC SCAN WAS A BIG FAT ZERO. YES YOU HEARD THAT, AND IN CASE YOU DIDN'T A BIG FAT ZERO ! and guess what else. Eating less Sat Fat won't help either !
