Donna, you are doing fabulous!

I have finally had some time to sit and read more of this thread along with links.
I appreciate the link by Nancy LC to
http://www.menshealth.com/health/un...d-heart-disease
“Dr. Krauss found that ...if your smaller forms of LDL were high, your HDL was low: if your smaller forms of LDL were low, your HDL was high.” My good HDL of 81 more than likely is linked to a lower number of smaller LDL particles.
Also, Janet’s link to Dr. Davis’ blog on LDL going kind of crazy high three months into low-carb would be me.
Then Melissa mentioned hypothyroid issues. I do not have any symptoms except for the high LDL. Since I just had my Wellness Screening and the VAP and Thyroid tests were not ordered, they would now become medical and subject to deductibles, etc. So, just have to figure out what direction to go. I may wait this out a bit given the various info I am reading about this extremely controversial subject. Appreciate the links and info.
