Bizi and Mari.... thank you both for the red yeast rice info... didn't know about it at all.

Bizi, i'll have to look into Niacin... i take a B complex but i'd been off them for a good while before doing the labs... wonder if that affected things.

my LDL is too high - needs to go down. my total is too high but if my LDL were brought back within range the total would be also. my HDL is adequate but a bit higher would be better.

i've started the vitamin D... not yet sure what to do wrt to getting an adequate dose though, sigh. i do need to exercise... it would help so many things... double sigh. but how to *get myself* to DO it...

meantime, my mom and i are taking soy lecithin which is supposed to decrease LDL and increase HDL.... let's hope.
