Never saw the doctor, so I don't know what side of the fence he's on - hopefully I won't get a call saying I need to be on drugs!

Who cares what anyone thinks. Don't tell them the numbers, just say doc said they were fine....I think in this case it's ok to lie a bit. After all it IS no one else's business!
If doc says meds you have the right to say no. Please read up on cholesterol....and PLEASE take CoQ-10 if you do choose to go on any meds. Also be aware that most docs will refuse to believe most side effects caused by the meds are actually caused by the meds.
You've done great! Keep it up....and tell everyone to buzz off.  |
