Re: Niacin and joint pains- HELP

I have posted before but am getting no response. I am very scared! I got a message on my answering machine telling me my Cholesterol was 280, and my triglycerides 819!!!!!! Don't know my good or bad cholesterol as I guess I am lucky I got this message! Told me to increase my Lipitor to 20mg. I do not want to be on the statins as I already have elevated liver enzymes! I do not feel this is my diet as I eat very little of anything due to stomach problems. I have been under a great period of stress and wonder if this plays a part?? I have started to take polycosanol, omega-3, niacin, and lipitor 10mg. I fel like I am a walking time bomb! Can anyone offer any help?? Thanks!
