@lizzyhope, and thank you for your kind words. Truth be known, nuggets I may have to help come from my accumulation of mistakes and information from knowledgeable providers. I am pleased it helps you!

Your upcoming cardiology visit is great timing to do your own mini-trial. Another win! I have one other idea as you prepare. There is so much information (and misinformation) available when it comes to treating cholesterol. I have posted a link several places on Connect so you may have seen it. If not, I will put it here.

Mayo Clinic Cardiology is a great source of current and accurate information not only as you learn about cholesterol treatment but also a reliable source your new cardiologist would trust. This is a continuing medical education podcast providing some background and current approach to treat high cholesterol. You may find it helpful as a sorta common ground as you begin your new provider relationship.

I am interested to know what you think after you listen and what you decide to with your rosuvastatin dose. I am interested to hear how you are doing and others will be interested to learn from your experience.

Will you come back and provide updates?
