Hi,
If you don't mind my asking what are your before and after cholesterol levels with the fish oil (if known)..and HDL, LDL etc.too if known
looking for a way for my Dad to get off Zocor etc.
His hands are peeling thick hard skin and really itchy and inflammed new skin below and I think it's a side effect of Zocor,betaloc,Coversyl for cholesterol and apparently blood pressure.
Also thyroid meds (armour) reduced my cholesterol from 7.0(divide by 0.0259 for US units:-), I'm lazy) to 5.7., so far. I'm adding in T4 now so no idea what will happen regarding cholesterol, but I hope(assume) it falls a bit further.
