I hear you. I hope you are doing well.

Two things I have learned:
- the drug stays in your body 2 days.
- every drug does something different. Lightbulb moment for me was to figure out exactly what is happening with my body and choose a drug accordingly. This is a different approach than the “spray and pray”, let’s try something and see if it works approach. (At least minimizing guesses, and making personalized educated ones).

How are plant sterols working for you?

The plant sterols didn’t lower my cholesterol at all. I was sorely disappointed. I was so hopeful. I am looking for a new cardiologist. I left a message for a DO cardiologist. I think that’s what I need. Someone that will look at me as a whole and how my body reacts and talk to me compassionately and suggest the course of action with my best interest in mind.
