The good news is I have a lot of good specialists, and I can punt between them. It was the endocrinologist who wanted to put me on lipitor, but I also have a cardiologist. I sent him the numbers, and he called me today, saying he's concerned, but thinks they may come down further back to where they used to be. He said HDL usually never changes over time without something going on, so he's not at all sure why my HDL is lower than it had been. His recommendation--eat a very low saturated fat diet and let's look again in another month. He's concerned about giving lipitor to someone with neuropathy.

I like that. Still need to talk more with the sinus guy, but again, I'm in no rush to take drugs for anything. I'm generally feeling well, and I'd like to keep it that way.
