Fortunately, I didn't have the experience you went through but have had elevated cholesterol in my life and have been on Lipitor for years,which,fortunately keeps it at bay; however I eat oatmeal for breakfast,(steelcut is best), take garlicin with Niacin, which naturally controls cholesterol, try being on low fat eating habits. Would be very interested to find out what treatment you were under to balance your hormones, that affected and remedied your cholesterol level. I stayed away from hormone treatment, as I had cancer in my family.
I'd appreciate hearing from you,
Erika
