Wow! 120 is amazing! Great news for you! Well done!
I haven’t been under 200 in over 25 years.
I’ve been trying to taper off prednisone and am down to 7.5 mg but since my cholesterol has been around 220 for decades before prednisone, I guess that’s not the answer for me.

My cholesterol has been high forever. I have the genetic version. I always thought I would just live with 220-250. I watched my diet. went on keto for awhile nothing really changed it. Got PMR at 68. Went on steroids. The prednisone caused my cholesterol to go to 300. The rhumy sent me for an ultrasound of my carotid. I was 100% blocked in the right and 70% in the left. I had to have the left side cleaned out. My point is that its not necessarily a good idea to just live with it.
