I doubt you had a lipid profile right before the back problem started so
that the intervening time may have been more than just a week or so.

prior test was in April, ldl was 96.

That was 4-5 months ago.

The back is better now and will pursue exercise asap.

One other factor - about 6 wks. ago I did switch taking my Zocor from
9pm to the mornings with food. Now I wonder if that made the
difference.

It can. The former was more optimal. Taking with supper/dinner is the
most optimal for most people.


I'd be willing to switch back to taking them before bed
and see what results, rather than increasing dosage.

Would suggest you get an OK from your doctor(s).

btw, a friend convinced his doctor to lower his statin dosage, he
religiously followed proper diet and exercise regimens for 3 months,
but it didn't matter a jot.

I suspect he did not achieve any lasting weight loss.

Back he went on the original dosage.
Such may be my fate and I may just have to accept the higher dosage.

Time will tell.

With one click you can make entire threads such as
this disappear. If enough people do this maybe the stupid cross-posters
will get bored with
spamming themselves.It's not only possible but easy to ignore and hide an
entire
conversation (thread).

It's a simple two-step process:
1. First you have to set up a view definition to hide ignored messages,
then
2. when you're scanning posts you can simply highlight the original post in
the thread you want to ignore. Then click on the toolbar: "MessageIgnore
Conversation" Voila! The offending thread disappears!

Here is the way to set it up, copied directly from the OE help file:
--------------------
To hide ignored messages so they don't clutter up your message lists, click
View, point to Current View, and then select Hide Read or Ignored Messages.

Selecting Hide Read or Ignored Messages will hide messages you have read,
messages you have ignored, and messages you have both read and ignored.

If you want to hide ignored messages, but want to keep your read messages
visible, click Hide Read or Ignored Messages as instructed above, then click
View (again) , point to Current View, and then select Define Views. In the
Define Views dialog box, click New. In box 1 of the View Editor, select
Where the message has been read. In box 2, click the words Show/Hide and
select Show messages. In box 3, give this view a name (e.g., "Hide Ignored
Messages") and then click OK.
----------------
Once this is activated, when you first click on
"Ignore Conversation" on the Message Toolbar the thread just turns light
grey (ignored). But once you exit the newsgroup and return, the entire
thread is completely gone from view unless and until you decide to change
the view back to include ignored conversations.

As soon as I post this, I'm also clicking "Ignore Conversation "and will no
longer
see this thread"

In Usenet terms, it's called "plonk". Almost all NG readers have this built in.

Yet so many people people clearly don't know how to use it.
