They can't calculate LDL if your Tri's are that high according to my blood reports.
1,000 Tri puts you are pretty high risk of heart attack. Mine was around 700-800 when I got help and it dropped to around 150 after I dramatically changed my diet, started getting physical activity and lost 40 pounds.
The Lipitor/Tricor combo only dropped it to 400 prior to these "life changes".
Anyway, I suggest keeping a longitudinal log of what you are doing / taking and the changes in your lipid panel to see what works best for you. Also changing any of these 4 things in your control can have a huge impact on Tri (& other lipid) levels without any meds (prescribed or natural):
- weight loss
- physical activity (it's very tough when your in chronic pain)
- improved diet
- stopping all alcohol consumption
Good luck - feel free to PM me down the road after you get your next blood test done if you have any questions Misty.
