Anyway, I am having "high risk" LDL cholesterol (160) in the check up. I don't know what to do. Doctors say, need to exercise and change food habit. As a quad I don't have much movement. I wonder, how other quads control their cholesterol ? I will love to hear from any of you. Hello, I'm experiencing the same as you. First off I need to mention high cholesterol runs high in my family but it finally caught up to me. I'm taking Welchol to lower my cholesterol but after my last Dr. appointment my triglyceride (blood fat) is sky high. He told me the same thing. Excercise and get on a lowfat diet. I feel helpless about the exercise but feel guilty if I have a cookie or small scoop of ice-cream. I was on Lipitor but had to go off it because my body hurt EXTREMELY (side effect, muscle or and joint pain) I felt like I was having a bad U.T.I. So he switched me to Welchol but it has no effect on triglyceride. So on my next check-up , he'll probably give me something for this. I'm about 25 pounds overweight but other than seeing a dietitian, I don't have a clue about the exercise. I didn't help much but I'm wondering if your doctor gave you cholesterol pills? Dianna I'm interested in any feed back also. **************Hurry! April 15th is almost here. File your Federal taxes FREE with TaxACT.
