JackD,
Another good reason for me to give this a try. My mom had Alzheimer's so if this gives me another way to avoid that, I'll do it.

MrsD,
I value your opinion and I appreciate your skepticism, and I don't take meds lightly. I have tried many and stopped them if they cause more problems than they help. That includes Topamax, Fosamax-like meds, Baclofen, Tysabri and many more. If this causes problems I'll stop it, with no hesitation. [btw, the moss rose survived the winter and I should have blooms this year. Woo hoo!!]

Agate,
if this gets my cholesterol down fairly well, I'll likely take half a pill a day for maintenance. These are easy to break in two. And if that keeps it down, I'll take them less frequently like you do. How are your levels on that dose?

Sandy,
I'm glad to hear that they work well for Jim too.
