I was placed on Lipator years ago but could not stay on it because it made my joints extremely stiff. My family doctor said they are all similar after I told him this. (My previous family doctor moved from the area).

I'm getting my blood tested this Friday. I have worked daily exercise in for the most part, lost 20 lbs. and quit smoking. For some reason when I quit smoking my cholesterol is lowered

I'm hoping this is enough because my diet is low in cholesterol; Zetia will not help me. This Fall I'll eat oatmeal daily.

I didn't realize this medication was no longer good for those with MS. Zocor they used to say was good for those with MS.
