This is mainly because I have started taking MCT Oil, and it makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER, I want to take it forever...but googled "MCT Oil SIde Effects" and found it causes a 12% rise in cholesterol levels. !!!!!
I am on a half dose of Crestor, have been for a couple of months. So I'm curious to see the numbers I have now.
You are hypo thyroid, have you tried getting treatment for that? Many people say their Cholesterol goes down with that. I, however, am slightly hyperthyroid so that's not an option for me.

I am on eltroxin (T4 )for hypothyroidism ,
MCT Oil may be depends how much you take...not sure as it works like a fast acting carb,
This is worth a read
Dr. Davis has a theory about why your labs may look this way.
he mentions 2 months to settle down but i have heard of cases where it took from 6 months to 1 year , I think it depends on how rapidly one is loosing weigh , it appears that during fast weight loss the choleserol goes a bit out of "whack"..when the fast weight loss settles , the cholesterol does too a couple of months after.
