[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 847500, member: 17713"] Hubbys levels have always been borderline high. He started to take statins that I could not tolerate but not on a daily basis as I didn't have that many. Sometimes he would pop one ir two a week and they were only 10mg. This was done because when spealing to a research consultant in QE2 hospital and he was talking to me about cholesterol. The consultant advised me that one atorvastatin once a week was better than ezemtibe daily. So hubby tried that.(i had also tried Ezemtibe but again had intolerance to that as well). So he was not taking them on a regular basis but his cholesterol despite taking the infrequent statins went up. We told GP that hubby had taken my tablets irregularly and thats why he got put straight on to 40mg atoravastatins. This is why though that I actually see the extra sat fats n dairy not working for hubby because the levels would probably have gone up even higher in the wrong proportions for him. I am trying to get him to get tests done sooner rather than later but being a man he is reticent at getting these done. He always concerns himself for me rather than himself.(bless him for being so lovely). Incidentally to make you laugh.... This morn I chucked out a pair of size 10 jeans that are too baggy for me. He was meant to out them in the bin. Needless to say he took them and 5 mins later saw me and said "does my bum look bug in these?". He had actually gone and put them on and they looked fantadtic on him!!! Lol!! He was a hefty 36" waist (and excess over the waistband) and now fits my size 10 jeans!! His bum looked gorgeous and they fitted him better than his male jeans!!! Pity they were 3" too short though! Don't think he wears my mini skirts or skorts though!! Will ask him again now before he goes to work about his blood tests!! [/QUOTE]
