Dej,
I eat a large bowl of cheerios with skim milk at least five mornings a week. It's still up there. DH and DS do the cooking now. When I did the cooking it was better.
I don't work out like I used to. I drink a couple glasses of white wine at night. I wonder if that hurts it? Also, I work retail hours so many times I eat a big meal before bedtime when I work the closing shift. I know I could control it otherwise but don't know if I can do it right now. I'm also going to online college so that keeps me in my chair even more.
Mrs D,
That link didn't work. Weren't the higher doses the problem? I'm on the lowest dose. I could even break these in half if I needed to.
Sal,
I'll check out some of those cholesterol lowering products. I already take 1 TB of metamucil at bedtime. I'm sure there are other things I could do.

Wiz, I control my cholesterol with Benechol Margerine (about a tbsp or 2 per day). It tastes just like butter and has cholestero lowering thingys in it.
My PCP says it's working, so I'm keeping it up. There are a bunch of those chol reducing things out there now....you may not have to take Zocor, you may be able to do it with you diet?
