High blood cholesterol while on the big 3

I must also add though that I increased the fat intake in my diet to gain weight, since my elevated cholesterol reading, I have cut back slightly, but I'm juggling with keeping some weight on!

Suethenany, you got a point there. We have to find a happy balance between all these things. Need the weight to fight the infection, but cannot afford to have high blood cholesterol.
Actually, I saw a cardiologist today who put me on 2 medications to lower cholesterol, Rosuvastatin 20 mg and Ezetimibe 10mg. Let’s hope they do their job without elevating liver enzymes and without muscle pain. My liver enzymes need to be watched closely from now until I finish MAC treatment.
I would really appreciate anyone’s input regarding these medications while on the big 3.
Thank you.
