When I went into the hospital (as mentioned above) over tens ago due to my RA & Heart and the doctors found out that I also had high cholesterol of 894 they discovered (after some test) that my high cholesterol was due to my body making more than I personally needed... hence having such a high number despite me being a size 3 and only weighing 115 pounds.

I am still on cholesterol medicine to this day - Lipitor - and will probably remain on it for life as my levels never seem to be able to get down past 230 and my doctor would like to see it around 180 due to my medical conditions and heart issues.
