I got a call from my doctor yesterday.  Apparently, the TriCor is working very well...

<strong>What my cholesterol was at my physical:</strong>
<ul>
	<li>207 Total</li>
	<li>199 Triglycerides</li>
	<li>42 HDL (good cholesterol)</li>
	<li>125 LDL (bad cholesterol)</li>
</ul>
<strong>After 6 weeks of the medicine:</strong>
<ul>
	<li>180 Total</li>
	<li>121 Triglycerides</li>
	<li>40 HDL (good cholesterol)</li>
	<li>116 LDL (good cholesterol)</li>
</ul>
<strong>The normal ranges are as follows:</strong>
<ul>
	<li>Total: 100 - 199</li>
	<li>Triglycerides: 0 - 149</li>
	<li>HDL: 40-59</li>
	<li>LDL: 0 - 99 (this used to be 0 - 125)</li>
</ul>
So, the doctor wants me to continue on the medicine, my exercise, and my diet (hahaha... diet!)... but the results are encouraging and I even missed a few days here and there... so, this is apparently good medicine and I didn't stop drinking Sam Adams!
