Just got a paper from my now new Drs. clinic telling me it is time to
get my cholesterol tested and that it should be done every one to five
years. If I remember correctly, I had it done back in Oct. of last year
but they don't know this.

Anyway... How important do you think it is to have this done? I'm
thinking not very. I also don't want to be on this statin I am taking
but can't figure a way to get out of taking it. It was my former Dr.
who insisted I be on it. It it were up to him, I think everyone would
be on it!

If you don't want to take it - don't take it. You're the boss. And the
consequences will be yours.

I've had my cholesterol checked at every physical for as long as I can
recall. And my numbers have been good - currently total 138 and ratio is
2.2. What's the big deal?
