Congats to you both. Those are great numbers and in a relatively short time too!!!!
Tell her to keep monitoring the side effects. They can build up and worsen with time or they did with me. But now that you know that the statins work well, it'll just be a case of finding the right one or combination that won't give her any problems. If the triglycerides continue to be a problem, as they were for me, ask your doctor about Niaspan (it's fairly expensive) or maybe even some over the counter niacin. Worked for me.
