Chaye, Kam.
YA, paiseh... To my coll, $1000 is sucks compared to the $30K lah... Ya loh, actually we should be grateful liao as it is already so much better than my previous coy too...
Chaye,
My high cholestrol is inherited, thanks to my dad. Will be with me for life so I have to take the med FOREVER!!! Sad thing hoh, but since I cannot choose and I have done nothing wrong so got to accept it and take treatment loh. But doc kept warning me how dangerous it can be, leading to other death-threatening illness like stroke, heart attack. He emphasized that actually nowadays it is very common for younger people to get such illness liao... early 30s, 40s can struck if no proper treatment... But he said with current advanced med, all these can be controlled well... So guai guai take med loh...
Your hubby's case is slight or very high type? Mine is very high... but i also never control diet. Coz doc said my high level is due to inherited reasons and not diet. So control diet won't bring it down lower or make it worser that much. Only med can bring it down. So I also heck care... With 3 mths' med, my level can be brought down until just slightly above normal level.
If you worry and not sure how serious is his cholestrol, then better to ask him to test bah.
