@llynch and @euser I have been trying to lower my cholesterol for years, finally getting it done. Niacin, statins, bile acid sequestrants, ezetimibe, Repatha and Praluent, Bempodoic acid, inclisiran injections, and even every other week lipid apheresis (a blood treatment to physically remove cholesterol). There are a variety of options available today and the key is to find a doctor you can work with to figure out what you’re unique problem is. A standard lipid panel won’t tell you. There are other markers that dig into the weeds. Cholesterol accumulates for a variety of reasons; our bodies can make too much, not move it around where it needs to be, doesn’t remove it properly, etc. Each drug works differently so it really will help to know exactly what problem you are trying to solve.

You said you had been trying to lower your cholesterol for years and “finally getting it done.” What specifically are you doing that is getting it done? Are you able to take statins, but they just weren’t lowering your cholesterol? Or, you can’t take statins because of the side effects?
