i went for my 6 month check up with my heart dr. i have lost alot of weight so i asked him if it were possible for me to stop taking lipitor for 6 months and asked him also for a perscription for me to get a blood test after the 6 months are up to see if i really need the medicine. he smilede and otld me that i would see my cholesterol go up in about 6 days. he told me that my body manufactures it so i shod still take the medication. other than that he said everything is looking very god. in 5 months i go for a stress test.

i have my BIL's 3 kids here for about 10 dfays so if you don't see me posting you know why.

Going on the cholestrol meds is an option but I was able to lower mine a couple of years ago thru JUST diet and exercise. If I had not REGAINED weight and gradually stopped my exercise program, I would not be having this issue! LOL

How old are the kids? Sounds like you will have your hands full. Enjoy your company.
