Has any one been diagnoised with Cholestrol?  

hope ya get that checked out!

that is starnge that he didnt do blood work first to find out for sure he shouldnt have presumed any thing .
and I think that one is like Zocor which my Doctor put me on and it attacked my muscles and made me hurt all over and in my joints hurt so bad I have now stopped taking it and I dont hurt like that any more but I still cant walk as far as I used to before I took it. am hoping soon I can walk far again with no pian.

I stay in pain & have for a long time. I haven't been going to this dr. but for about a year i gues but i'm not very impressed w/him or many of them to be honest. I think all they see is $ signs. Hope u get back to where u were.

with being in pain how about not taking that cholestrol med he put ya on with out checking on your blood first .
Yup Doctors see that $ more in Tenn than amy where . KNew a woman that went to 3 differnt Doctors in one day to get more meds! thats bad!

I was already in alot of pain before i ever started taling the cholestrol med. I wish it were that simple. Hope u are having a good day. it's terrible weather here today, rainy & cold & miserable.

I love avocados walnuts and almond but dont know about flax seed but it does sound good

If you use the flaxseed be sure to grind it up some otherwise it just passes through with out any benefit.

I have read that it isnt HIgh cholestrol that gives you a heart attack COuld have been too low!
But sure glad your alive or I would hav3 missed meeting you!

Ah, ain't dead yet LOL
The dr said he could not see how in the world I had a heart attack , not to mention two---------
nothing seemed wrong ,not even my labs---
but, it did and I'm waiting for my mail man now to see if I might get some info on SS disability--good luck to me, good luck to me LOL
But,just ordered some avon from linda :)
the colors look weird on line and hopefully I did good :)
Oh yeah, glad we met too ! That nice Foxy that got us together did a good job !!
later,

yes I am on 2 BP meds too plus plavix.
THey had me on some that I got very sock on so they had to change it after severl different kids they finally found 2 that do ok for amost 2 years now but I dont take the Zocor any more nothing for cholestrol in hopes of finding some herb or something natrual to take

is that like Zocor?

I guess so

all he said was cut out on fried foods well we hadnt had much anything fried for years! and years!
Noone seems to have a plan for a diet to lower it around here. Even when I was in therapy after the heart attack the nurses there didnt have any menu for me to follow! also we havent had salt for yesrs

okay - increase your veggie intake - things like broccoli, cauliflower, green ones to 4 cups raw or 2 cups cooked daily - starchy vegges less - they count more as carbs

eat less meat - even lean meats - to about 6-8 oz a day, you can replace one "oz" of meat with a no sugar added yogert 6-8 oz or an egg counts as an oz - if you eat tofu - you can have a cup...

eat 3 fresh fruits a day

thanks I do eat these things but not eery day as I dont buy the groceries and I do like eggs!

watch those eggs, they can sneak up on ya!

Are you haveing any side effects form this med.
I hate meds as so many I cant tolorate my body just rejects them.
am hoping to find some one here that has found a natural remedy to use

No side effects on this although I have alot with others. No natural remedy except just eat right.

www.bioinnovations.net has all that info.

thanks for your info but heart DOc told me I couldnt take the fish oils while taking plavix.
Make my blood thinner than what it is now and I brusie up just lookinh at myself it seems

Yes, it is important to be aware of that the good oils also make the blood thinner. If we take medication to do that too, it could be too much.

If the doctor has not forbidden you to eat fish, maybe you could take one capsule of the fish oil a day, but it is always better ask him or her first.

Personally I try to avoid pharmacy medicines and try to keep to natural food supplements but if I would be taking medication, I would - with the help of the doctor - diminish the medicine and slowly go over to natural food supplements.
I would let the doctor keep doing blood tests until I knew I could manage without medication.

I am not sure all doctors are cooperative doing this - but there are some who would - like the scientists who teach doctors, are experts in nutrition and work with GNLD and Stanford University. You maybe already read about this group on the site I gave you.

Anyway, it is entirely up to you what you decide to do in this case.. Wish you better health..

awwwww that sounds real good.
