Yep, just recently diagnosed with high cholesterol about a month ago and i dont even fit the criteria for it so they are just assuming its hereditary so no meds but they want me to watch my diet as if its a bad one 🙄 i hardly eat at all so yeah.

Both me and my husband have it. Medication helped get it under control.

I have high cholesterol amongst other things 🤨 I was told that the less you eat, the higher the cholesterol.

Yes. I have it. Been on meds a few times which brought it to normal but the hdl goes haywire when taken off meds. Catalyst was my pregnancy. Never had a problem before that and has been a struggle ever since. Improved diet has kept me off the meds but I always test higher than normal.
