I had just came back from seeing my doc. to read my blood test. Surprise! and a nice one at that. My cholesterol reading is 244 down from 260 last time. HDL is 99 higher than 90 last checkup. LDL is 115 down from 134 and within the ref range. I am so happy. This is from taking RYR only one tablet 600 mg twice a day.
I will continue this regimen for three more months and see what will happen to my tingling feet. Right now I don't feel any difference. They are still tingling but not getting better or worse. Wish me luck.

I am just starting RYR a week ago because all my tests are still not getting better. In sheer desparation, my primary doc mentioned RYR so I bought a bottle. I started to take two 600 mgs. a day as recommended on the bottle. I started to have restless sleep so I reduced it down to one tablet a day. It maybe just coincidental.
When I did not take any meds. (statin and osteo med) except supplements, I fall asleep easily for 7-8 hrs each night and I feel happy and content during the days. If not for the threat of high chols. creeping up in every 3 mos. test, I would be content and sleeping well every day.
Will post when I go in to get my blood test in a few mounts. Hope the reading comes out better.

Just had another blood test and the reading is worst than the last three months. That kind of spook me. LDL is 147, HDL is 84. Ouch!!
Apparently my low fat diet didn't work. Doc said it's in the gene.

Let me know after you have the blood work result. I am interested to know if RYR works. No I don't smoke nor drink. I try to watch my diet such as no butter or cream, no red meat only chicken and fish, etc. Use only canola oil. I don't use olive oil because my husband hates its odor and I cook for two people so I just skip it.
Best to you too,

There are so many vitamin B, as far as I know, there are B-6. B-12 and what not. My intake of vitamin B is only 100mg that come in the multiple vitamin tablets. I am taking Omega-3 1000mg daily. I can feel the tingling more when I go to bed and can tolerate it if I don't take statin or osteoporosis drugs. Otherwise these drugs will make me feel the tingling keep going up like something crawling up to my knees. That's the reason I stop taking them.
Thanks for your advice.

We live in Clearwater, FL and our condo is near the beach but not on it, about 3/4 mile away. Destin is up north but it's as beautiful and probably as sunny as Clearwater.
At the Senior center where we go dancing, there is a centenarian gentleman who just turned 100 and his dancing lady is 85. They dance almost every dance until way into the night until the band plays "Good Night Sweetheart". I know only that his name is Roger and about a couple of months ago, there was a group of filmmakers from a European country, coming to film him at the dance. I learned that they followed him around for a week to observe his lifestyle.
I am not sure whether the American researchers' group has met him or not. He is a preppy young at heart man who has won a championship in lawn bowling. Still walking and dancing well and very friendly. I wanted to talk to him more but he doesn't come to our dancing center too often.
Have a sunshine day,
