Yeah I really worry about the damage to other parts of the body from the drugs. (DH has genetically high cholesterol as well, even when he's skinny as he is now. He always has to go get liver function tests to make sure no damage is being done from the drugs.) I don't know what I'd do as a parent.

Our doctors here in my IPA all seem VERY reluctant to push meds - they don't like giving antibiotics unless absolutely needed (we've had several instances of this from our pediatrician - and even yesterday from my gyn!). I have to hope they'd be very conservative about something like this.
