Hi Bingo,

I see you posted this back in April......how'd the Tricor work? I took it for a little while, but it caused intestinal cramping and diarreha in me, so now i'm trying Advicor. I have a problem with moderately high trigs, and LDL, but low HDL.  The Advicor is a statin and niacin combination and is suppose to lower my trigs and raise my HDL. We'll see, I guess.  My doctor said it must be genetic but no one in my family has this problem.......unless it was farther up the tree. I'm also drinking my Revival again and using ground flaxseed and lecithin granules, along with more excercise. Something has to work.  :confused:
