( ldl )..<br /><br />i was considered obesse.. i field dressed about 225 lbs.. chart says 190 tops.. but swear i had not much body fat..<br /><br />my trigs were 650.. normal should be below 150..<br /><br />total cholest was 235 an most was ldl ( bad ).<br /><br />doc put me on NIASPAN an in 11 days.. almost killed myself.. very odd side effects.. read all i could read an nothing about this.. EXTREME anxeity, clostrophobia, depair, an panic..which at each dosing ,, became worse expedentially..<br /><br />quit taking,, reversed to normal expendentially..<br /><br />doc put me on tricor.. short time ,, at idle,, my lower jaw would drop an hang open.. close it by hand,, drop again.. <br /><br />quit taking when i couldn't find a decent 'droll cup' for sale..<br /><br />finally,, godsent,, picked up an bought 'the south beach diet' book ,,mid-march..<br /><br />followed it silly..<br /><br />today,, lost 25 lbs.. <br /><br />total cholest.. from 230 to 152<br /><br />bad cholest.. 96<br /><br />good cholest. 37<br /><br />trigs. from 650 to ( GET THIS !! ) 116.. when 150 is considered good..<br /><br />TELL ME I AIN'T HAPPY...
