I diagree with Lisa, your total cholesterol is getting very low.   I do not know what your target is but I can tell you to be careful.   My doctor got my total cholesterol down to 105 and possibly lower than that. I became very ill. I suffered from insomnia, depression, I was angry and aggitated, I suffered a gallbladder flare that lasted 9 months and I had post menopausal bleeding. I kept asking what too low was and no one could answer the question. They would all say how wonderful my numbers were. If my numbers were so great, why did I feel like crap. I started feeling better within 3 days of stopping the statin I was on because my cholesterol was up. It has taken almost a year to recover from that ordeal. The irony is my cholesterol had only gone up to 218, when my doctor said let's do something about that. I have no other risk factors for heart disease.   Ask your doctor what too low is and they can't tell you, because they don't know. It is one of those things they rarely see, so they don't worry about it.   Reta
