My story is very similar.have hi cholesterol since early 20's and I'm74 now. Also have extremely high good cholesterol. Could never take statins without severe leg pain.had testing done that determined I have big fluffy cholesterol that doesn't stick to artery walls, but of course the docs don't want to hear that. My calcium scans all come back with minimal build up for my age. I also enjoy bacon, eggs and butter. And am a carnivore. Don't take any pharmaceuticals and most likely never will.
No matter what the docs say, you know your body better than they ever will!
