Apparently I inherited mine so diet and exercise don't affect it at all. It's been a long struggle to find a medication that works for me and that I don't end up having to stop taking due to side effects. I hope your statin regimen is successful! I wish I could just take a pill every day for my high cholesterol -- I have to shoot myself up every two weeks with an injectable medication now.
