--of going on Lipitor with your history (depsite the doctor's take on it); would Zetia perhaps be a better choice (if not contraindicated)? And perhaps some niacin (or did you have a particular flushing problem with that in the past)?

The bigger question, though, is what jumped your cholesterol numbers to those levels? Forteo certainly may have contributed, given its effects on Vitamin D metabolism, but I haven't been able to find anything that points to a real link this morning (admittedly it's been a very cursory search). Could there be other possible culprits? I somehow doubt you've been consuming lard.
