Sounds good to me, i am guessing she will want to run another lab test in 6 months rather than waiting until the next physical. I do have family history of high cholesterol from my Mom, who also had strokes. I am willing to let it run for awhile and see if they change much given more time off the statin. Thanks for the input. I will do some more reading myself and have information for the doc. She is mostly by the book, this is what I was taught, so it must be right school of medicine.
