My Cholesterol has always been high. At my last check up, my Triglycerides were 435. I have tried so many of the cholesterol drugs, but always get bad side effects from them. My doctor prescribed niacin in high doses this last time and I got bad side effects from that also. I came to the conclusion that I had to try and lower my cholesterol on my own with diet and exercise. Hopefully, I will be successful. Your post was very helpful. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.View Thread
