What is this thing doctors have about cholesterol? It doesn't seem to matter anymore if your total cholesterol is where it should be, they want the proportions to be right. I guess I can see taking drugs for it if your cholesterol is sky high, but if your overall number is good and your triglycerides and lipids are too, I think the docs should leave you alone.

Since with RA I must take so many medications, adding another is of concern to me. My whole body has never fit the norm, and I suspect that it is unlikely to start now. Why all the fuss if it is in the ballpark? Why can't we be PEOPLE to doctors instead of sets of numbers generated by neverending tests?
